Chau is the BEST and does the most amazing gel manicure/pedicure I've ever had. I was able to grow my own nails out long under the gel polish and special growth coat she uses. They last shiney and new looking for 4 weeks. She's been doing my nails for 20 years at several different salons and I won't go to anyone else. It's been so nice not to have acrylic and to have healthy, long nails. read more

Amazing relaxing pedi, and very friendly people. Chau blessed me with an excellent massage :))))

I have been coming here on and off for years and the work has never been amazing but generally consistent with the lower price you're paying compared to other salons. I don't live in the area anymore but when I visit I will occasionally get my toes done here. I used to do gel on my toes but switched to regular polish in the last year for the health of nails. The nail tech did a neat job but as always at this place everything was so rushed. There was no waiting in between coats, and they actually kicked me out of the pedicure chair before the service was done because a bunch of people had walked in and they didn't want to lose the sales. The top coat ended up getting applied by the door of the shop and there was quite literally no wait time in between coats. This was 2 hours ago now, I had the ac in my car running on my feet the entire drive home and the polish is still gummy and wet because there was no time to dry between coats. What happened to the little fans to help dry coats faster? Or just allowing a little bit of time between coats as you're supposed to? I do respect these women as they pretty much all work 9-6 7 days a week. But I just can't justify the money spent here anymore when they're rushing your service to turn out as many people as possible and not taking pride in their work. read more

$50 for a pedicure that left me crusty and dusty. My other big toe was bleeding from how aggressive the tech was. I did say something and it didn't help even after I was bleeding. All of my toe nails were cut too short and extremely uneven. Do not recommend. read more

Bella Nails - I paid $50 for a pedicure that left me crusty and dusty. - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

I've been coming to Bella nails for years. Mai is the sweetest and always willing to help. My nails always last a long time and now they have a new builder gel that is AMAZING. It lasts for weeks. The longest I've tried is 3 weeks because I miss going in to see Mai if I wait longer, but I honestly bet it would last at least a month. It doesn't peel at all. They always do a wonderful job and if I ever need something fixed, they do it quickly and at no charge. She wants her customers to be happy and works hard to make sure everyone has a relaxing and great experience. I give them not highest recommendation. read more

I have been going to Bella Nails for many years and I always get the best service. I always ask for Chau! She gives the best massage!!! Her acupressure is the best. read more

Wonderful staff, so kind. I've always had a beautiful job. They always manage to fit me in without a reservation. Mary Hansen

I don't get my nails done a lot, maybe once a year but I'm hoping to do more now that I've tried Bella Nails. I made an appointment and when I got to the salon, they were busy but took me in less than 5 minutes (which gave me adequate time to pick out a color). The service was quick but high quality! I got acrylic almond shaped nails and she was great about checking in with the length, shape, and color throughout the appointment. The price was super fair as well. I noticed while I was there, there were a ton of ladies who seem to be "regulars" which I feel like is a good sign. Overall the staff was really friendly and I'm happy with the nails, I'll be going back! read more

Y'all are WHACK this place is absolutely incredible - Lin did a perfect job on my toes and gave me the best massage I've ever had from a pedi in California. And this was my first visit! And I was a walk in! I have been chained to Tracy's because of convenience (not quality) and Felton Nails is never willing to take me as a walk in (literally turn me away every time) so I am proud to say I have found my new pedi home!!! Maybe I should give them 1 star so ya'll don't come and ruin the best kept secret in local nail salons!! :P read more

Bella Nails - Pedi - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

I had a terrible pedicure here recently, the woman cut and filed my nails super uneven and a little roughly, then she used a color that did not match my inspo pic in the slightest and then presented me with other options that wouldnt match either, clearly incomplete and i wanted to leave but didnt. She kept touching my toes after putting on the coats so it ended up with ugly texture on them. And then when i thought everything was done and i was just trying to relax and have my massage, she kept stopping every 2 minutes to file my toenails again and then go back to massaging but i couldnt relax bc she just kept filing them roughly during the massage. They came out looking like shit. And she said the reason why it dosnt look like the inspo pic is bc my nails are short. I went in with super long nails but after all the filing she did they looked like shit. Plus it was 60$ and for a chop shop that is crazy. read more

Been coming here for years! Best nail salon in the area, Michelle does the best nails and all the girls are fabulous for pedicures that last weeks. Always make an appointment and you will never have to wait. very clean salon and nice ladies. read more

Pedicure result was fine BUT, 30 minutes total! If you're in a rush, I guess it's OK, but I really prefer to enjoy my pedicures and today was such a rush. I don't know that I enjoyed it very much nor if I will go back. read more

Best nail place in Santa Cruz County!!! I come all the way from Aptos just to get my nails done here. I've gone to nearly every nail salon between the end of Aptos to here in Scotts valley and none even come close. They are so gentle they never hurt me and I have really sensitive cuticles that usually end up bleeding and then peeling after going to any other salon but leaving here my cuticles look great! They're super quick, efficient, friendly, gentle, do an AMAZING JOB, and considering all this I would be willing to pay extra for this but they are actually the cheapest of any of the salons I've been to as well! All the stars to this place! Third time here and I know I've for sure found my place, I will keep coming to Scotts valley from Aptos just for Bella nails read more

I've definitely tried all of the salons in the area and I'm very happy with Bella Nails. The ladies there are always so happy and welcoming and the gal that does my nails Van is super sweet. She is very meticulous with her work and she's fast as well. So whether it's a gel polish change or full mani/pedi she's very nice and does a fantastic job. read more

Bella Nails - i got basic full set - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

After going to Bella for the last few years, and after a several month hiatus, since the Tet New Year, the most incredible aesthetician, Van, was no longer working there. She is smashing. I had a very unsatisfying experience. A moderately applied soak and nail service, ok nail polish. I showed the aesthetician how to do my nails that were in poor shape due to an injury, much to my dismay. Things are more expensive these days and I recognize that these women do hard work for very little profit. Go there if you want to, there are still some kind, talented folks, but I won't go again. read more

They do everything so quick and never consistent. I went to them, not for the first time, to have my gel nail polish from my fingers removed. First she used the liquid remover then use a course Emory board horizontally. How horrible, it left my nails with deep marks and now my once strong and healthy nails are spilting and peeling so badly I had to cut them as short as I could get them. I also suspect they double dip when waxing. Never again will I go there. read more

Great service, quality work and amazing staff! I called last minute and they were able to accommodate me on a Sunday night! Thank you! read more

A very factory style nail salon. No love here. Having an appointment doesn't matter. In fact if you are waiting for your turn and someone new walks in they are served ahead of you so that the sale is not lost. Very poor customer service. read more

This was my first visit to Bella Nails. My acrylics had grown out. What I asked for was a trim, fill, reshaped, and finished with an ombre gel coat. I picked out a dark brown and greyish lavender for my gel colors. I showed her a photo of a basic ombre color combo I liked. She assured me she could do what I showed her. I thought something was a bit strange when the nail tech painted my entire nail with the first color and dried it before applying the second gel color. I said something like, "Hmmm..I guess there are all kinds of techniques." Then she told me she could not do the tiger eye technique because it required special product which they do not have. I thought, "this isn't right". Now that color is dry and will not blend with the other color. So the next step was applying the second color to the tip of my nail. She then took her ombre blending brush and dragged the color up my nail. Nothing blended, of course. I just wanted to leave, so I told her it was fine. Plus I was in a hurry. I left with grey streaks up the brown nail. Now I need to find someone else ( I am here from out of town) to fix my nails! read more

I entered this nail salon on a whim. They took walk ins and I was quite happy with the thorough and meticulous job there. I got a pedicure. I've been to many nail salons and this is one of my favorites. A bit more pricey than what I'm used to but totally worth it. read more

Very helpful. Very nice staff. Very good vibes here also. The service is good and friendly here.

Very friendly, reasonable prices and great job!! You can even get your toes and hands done at the same time if you arrange it ahead and sometimes on the spot if you're lucky! read more

I came here with a friend to get pedicures, and the whole time the ladies were gossiping about my friend and I. My unsuspecting friend is causation and I'm Vietnamese, yet these ladies didn't think I could understand them for whatever reason even though I'm clearly Asian. They kept commenting on my hair and how dark and unappealing it was, and they kept talking about my friend in such a disrespectful manner right in front of us. Mind you, we are both respectful, professional, and easy going women. The only reason I'm giving them two stars is because the person that actually worked on me didn't participate in this conversation. I found this establishment to be unprofessional, and their work isn't even that great. I do not recommend coming here, and if you don't speak Vietnamese I assure you they are talking shit about you as they put on a fake smile to take your money. I hate that I'm putting down my own race, but this is an honest review and I hope they change their ways. What a shame and such a bad representation of hard working Vietnamese women that actually try to make it in nail salons. read more

Came with a friend for gel pedicures and we were not disappointed. Good, efficient service. They accommodated us day of. Not too busy Sunday afternoon. Sweet ladies working. A week later my toes still look great! Probably best nail salon I've been into in SV so far and I've tried several. Bring cash as they don't want credit cards even though I saw a machine - but I get it - fees. Overall great place for all the basics, nothing fancy or upscale but reasonably priced and relaxing massage chairs. Definitely will be back soon! read more

Great people and always available. Really have come to enjoy this salon. Nails do not break and their prices are fair.

This is my go-to place for manis & pedis. I am always super satisfied with my results. Michelle is a true artist and never disappoints when doing my nails. I recommend making an appointment in advance if you don't want to wait. read more

Bella Nails - Nail artist: Michelle - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

Why has it taken me so long to write these lovely ladies a review?? As somebody who's nails are extremely important to them, I have had my nails done all over the county and ALWAYS end up back at Bella. Why? Reason #1 is Michelle, the owner, as well as the rest of her staff are incredibly friendly and personable. They will remember your name, which techs you like to see and what services you like. They will remember your family, and ask about them. Some of the women here even came to a family member's funeral to support us (three generations of women in my family are all regulars.) They will compliment you and make you feel good about the services you are paying for, and if you seem less than thrilled, they will bend over backwards to make sure you leave happy! The quality of work is high, consistent, and always done in a timely fashion. They are frequently busy, and I never call ahead, but they always have me in a chair with my fingers being beautified within 15 minutes :) And added plus, at least for me, is that when the ladies here speak to each other, they do it at a reasonable volume and not in a way that tends to make you feel uncomfortable even though you don't understand. But usually they just visit with the clients I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Very nice ladies, no wait and did a good job on my toes but the polishes were SO unorganized and sloppy. The actual chairs/seats/place was also very unkept and didn't seem like it had had a decent cleaning in some time. read more

Wow I wish I'd seen and visited this place sooner...really great salon with happy, funny, welcoming staff who not only didn't turn their noses up at me for coming in extra casual and makeup free, but complimented my fitness when I showed up in my lazy day outfit haha. Came here and asked them to fix the mess I'd been left with from another salon that I used to love before new owners took over....yes, i left a bad review but you have to reeeeallly do me dirty for me to take the time to write about it. My nails feel and look SO much better now! Michelle noticed right away how much lifting had occurred (Too much, she said, and I agree. This is bc the last place I went didn't even bother filing off the previous lifting--I've been doing this for two decades now I know the drill and that's not right!), the chunks of acrylic left under my nails, and how thick they were. Anyway she handled all that mess, plus my fill in, plus nail art with difficult colors (light yellow) in under an hour and even offered to add a little sparkle to my design to make it unique for me. My set feels way stronger and cleaner, all nails are pointing in the right direction, and the price was beyond reasonable. This is definitely my new spot! I'll be seeing them every 2-3 weeks from here on out! read more

Bella Nails - So cute and such clean work! - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

I am BEGGING YOU do not go here!!! first of all, they were all so incredibly rude. i tried so hard to be kind, but each time i told her i didn't like the shape of my nails or that she was hurting me (she cut three of my fingers and drew blood, not caring when i warned her that she was causing me pain) she would just handle my hands/fingers more aggressively!! i did not catch her name but i do know she was the owner of the salon. there is no ventilation in the unit, causing me to choke on my own air because i was constantly breathing in nail polish fumes. there is no way it is healthy to be in there. lastly, my nails were so ugly. definitely not what i asked for, i will attach a pic. overall just a terrible experience, i left in tears and this is the first time i did not tip for any sort of service. -5/5 read more

first, when you enter the room it seems that you are asking for a favor by the way they talk to you by shouting. Then the pliers and scissors were never sterilized, you pay to do the nail and it looks like you did it yourself at home without any finishing touches, but if I'm wrong with this photo I posted, correct me read more

Fast, professional and well priced for the market. Walk ins are welcome which is what brought me there the first time

Thursday night no line at 5:30pm, called and they booked me for Pedicure. My nail lady was fast and efficient, She didn't tell me her name. Their price was Average $22. Very limited on nail polish options and majority of the polishes were almost dried up. Otherwise good spot to stop in for a quick pedi. read more

This place is an underrated gem. Great massage chairs, good pedicure, nice pedicure massage (however I prefer a stronger massage and mine was a little light, but it was a longer duration so good trade off). Good nail polish selection. Probably could use a fan for ventilation, but it didn't bother me. Staff was very friendly as the people in Scott's Valley tend to be. My kind of place. read more
