Gel x
Darlene A.

First time customer here, and totally love the results! I called the morning of for an appointment with Jenny to do Gel X. I really liked the service from start to end, she shaped & cleaned my nails really well. Even for one of the nails it didn't come out good & she re-did it. I showed her how I wanted my nails & she did an amazing job, very beautifully detailed . Jenny was so friendly & easy to talk with, I'd definitely come back and recommend to friends/ family. Look no further, if you need to get a manicure/ pedicure go to Ara spa!

French tips

Very sweet girl with a bear sweater on took me for a walk in and gave me the perfect thick, square french tips I love !! Super quick too :)

day after my appointment

Jenny killed it! This was my first time getting a full set done and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The ladies were very friendly and kind, and after showing Jenny my nail inspo she was very transparent with what she thought would looked good and made sure that I liked the colors/design. I really loved how she was careful to fix mistakes and checked in with me during the whole process. I had so much fun with Jenny and the ladies at Ara Spa and will definitely be visiting again soon! Much love to the ladies at Ara!

I got a manicure today and had my nails cut. The nail tech cut double the length she showed me off. My nails have never been this short in my entire life even when I actively bit them. I left the nail salon crying. I went in with very long natural nails and they are cut below my fingertips now. I have never not given a tip for a service until this. The pink nails are from today and the french tip are before having them before the damage done.

I've gone to a few nail salons in Davis, this one never disappoints. They can do simple nails and even complex designs. The service is consistently good, the ladies are always friendly! Such a relaxing place to get your nails done and reasonably priced.

my nail after she cut it so badly.

never come here. i got my acrylics removed and the lady cut me so bad and i was still forced to paid for the service. she used a fake nail under my acrylics to remove them and it cut through my nail until you could see the skin underneath. absolutely never ever come here i cannot say that enough. this establishment is a joke to say the least. you cannot just destroy your clients nail like this and make them pay for the service. only after she cut my nail did she soak off the rest. ara nail spa needs different workers, management, or whatever it is that causes them to run their business this way. 0 stars.

Jenny at Ara Spa in Davis is by far the most talented and kindest nail tech I have ever had. Every time I come in she is very welcoming and happy to see me. She is great when booking appointments and is super accommodating. She never fails to make my nails look BEAUTIFUL and does a great job giving you what you want. She takes her time and is very attentive in her skill. 10/10 Recommend!!!

I thought I would never find a good nail salon in Davis but I was wrong! Jenny slayed my nails! She is a true artist and was very kind and attentive through out the whole process, she didn't rush and even offered me to come back in if the paint chipped for free of cost.!! Thanks Jenny !

Let me put you on Jenny: she does not play about nails, she came to slay! Van Gogh who? Jenny will execute your vision every single time and beyond. My nails have never lasted more than a week anywhere else, but with Jenny these nails last me weeks without a single chip. Go! 10/10

This is definitely one of the best nail places I've been too! I tried San Francisco and East Bay but it was only decent service. I had a regular in LA and I thought that was good but my recent nail experiences from here have changed my standard for quality! Jenny is so kind, quick, and accommodating! She does great nail designs and even improves the inspo I show her! I'm really picky about the shape but she always reassures me it will be what I want. I always go for narrow almond but since my nail is kinda fragile right now, it has to be a little thicker. My nails are really thin right now and she chooses the best option for my nail health and it's definitely stronger. Will definitely be coming back whenever I can!

Absolutely loved my experience here! The salon itself is super clean and relaxing, but what really made it amazing was Jenny. She's seriously the sweetest so kind, so patient, and incredibly precise with her work. You can tell she really cares about the details, but somehow still finished everything quickly without rushing. I left with exactly what I wanted and couldn't stop staring at my nails after. Definitely coming back and definitely asking for Jenny again!

I got lucky and was able to book with Jenny the same day I called the salon. After reading other reviews, they recommended booking her in advance! Jenny was super sweet and really committed to recreating the design that I wanted and she was spot on. I'm so in love with how it came out! I usually drive all the way to Vallejo but I'm so happy I found a nail tech closer to me!

cherry nail design!  so happy with how it turned out :) $80 highly recommend this place!
Jennifer P.

I'm not sure what her name was, but she was the younger nail tech. She was very kind and always checked in to make sure the shape and design was what I wanted. I wanted a cherry nail design for the holidays, and she delivered! So happy with the results! It was $80 for the design on each nail ($60 without design). Would definitely come back again :)

See all

The staff were so friendly and so communicative, and I felt like I was really being taken care of. The service is performed were wonderful and I had such a great time feeling pampered. I think it was worth the extra cost compared to the other nail salons in the area. One thing to know: the power went out at some point, and it was really awesome to see that they were prepared for a power outage with battery, powered supplies, lamps, and other things. The shop itself is really cute, very clean aesthetic while being warm. The only downside is that it's in downtown so you have to find downtown parking but luckily there's tons of street parking nearby. I wish I had remembered to take pictures of my own nails, but I was so rushed for the wedding. But I've attached a photo of my technicians nails, which were pink in themed and so freaking adorable.

The manicure is the prettiest I have ever had, and now maybe I am on the slippery slope of a new habit... In the past, I have had nail salons where I was happy with the results, but this is the first time I felt like I really love the salon. My toenails were obviously so healthy after two pedicures with them, and the salon is very clean and cute. A real standout here is that it a family business and they seem to LOVE the art of their business.
