Worst place to get ya nails done by far the worst nail salon my girls has ever been too. She requested the first picture nails and the person who did them was rushing it, didn't take his time and was by far the rudest and most ignorant individual (last picture) . If they are going to do nails the least they can do is listen to the customers request. But we then went to Get Fixed Nails and Spa and national city (second pic) and they are by far the best place to go to. Please avoid coming to C & L if you want to waste your money.
I tried to give this place another chance. Came about a month ago and it was fine. Good experience. So I can back today and got the best pedicure they offer. Turns out their most expensive pedicure is the worst I've ever had. As soon as she started painting my toes I pointed out that first one she painted the policy had lumps. She said oh, that's just the first coat. Woman, if the first coat is lumpy the second coat will be, too. She was not happy but took the paint off that toe and redid it. As she left me to dry, I looked at my toes and could see that there the paint on every one is messed up. Uneven, bleeding onto my skin and there's also multiple spots where there is just paint on my toes randomly. I was so mad I just paid and left. When I got to the car even my husband thought the paint was terrible. He said go back in and have them fix it. Walked back in and told her the issues. This woman bent down and tried to "fix" with clear polish. At that point I just said nevermind and walked out. How are you going to fix uneven, bleeding over paint with another clear coat?! What a waste of money.
Love this place, I've been coming here for about 3 years now, quality, service and prices are great! Ask for Jenny for nails and Lynn for brows.
I wish I could give ZERO STARS! I was disappointed with my recent visit on July 11th 2025. Only one coat was applied, and my polish started chipping within 3 days. I gave them a chance to fix it, but the worker said it was too late because he already applied gel. I already knew they were going to chip when you could see through the white and paint was uneven. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! This picture is ONLY 2 days after I got them done! The worker was the male guy! Don't remember his name. I hope they see this and start to treat the customers fair and stop being greedy.
I have come here twice and will not EVER return the first time around went okay. It was a very quick service and decently priced so I decided to go back. I should have trusted my gut and stayed away!! On my second visit it was rushed once again but things really went wrong during my gel mani. The nail tech seemed annoyed to be removing my gel that I had previously gotten there. Then she was rushing through cuticle clean up that she cut me 3x one of them was extremely painful and I started gushing blood.... She then proceeded to put CRAZY GLUE on my gushing cut and pulled her mask down and blew on my finger. I immediately removed my finger and said no... this was before the mask mandate lifted. Absolutely HORRIFIC experience will not ever return and I advice you to take your business elsewhere. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NAIL SHOP.
I've gotten 3 different sets from this place and they do not disappoint. I don't know his name, but I believe he's the only man that works there, he's done my nails every single time and he does amazing! And he's quick! They do get very busy so I recommend making an appointment, but they do take walk ins. I think it's safe to say, this is going to be my go to salon!
I will not return to this place I felt very uncomfortable and discussed with my surroundings not clean and sanitary.
The staff were nice enough. We scheduled acrylic nails and a pedi. The techs pushed us hard to do gel for the acrylic nails. So we did. Prices were decent $20 for basic pedi. $40 for French acrylic gel mani. The work was done well. However, we will not go back and the 2 stars are due to 1) the place was filthy. Every bottom surface & corner had dirt, grime, dust, and spider webs! YUCK. 2) while the techs were pleasant enough, they were rough as if they just wanted to get it over with including a almost non-existent massage. Maybe 2 mins of massage.
I asked and Lina delivered. I showed her pics and a drawing I made and she worked with me to nail what I wanted. Acrylic with nail extensions. Did a great job. As I was leaving, everyone kindly greeted me out the door. They also have designated parking. Update: took 1 star off bc 1 gem stone fell off the next day. Still love my nails.
Charlie gave me the nails of my dreams (-,: he took his time and they came out beautiful! First time customer and came bc I saw they did flare nails! Love the y2k style. Perfect for my vacation 10/10 recommend
I enjoyed my quality and quick classic manicure from C & L nails. I came in the Friday after Thanksgiving around 11:30 pm and had to wait approximately 10 minutes. The classic pedicure costs $12, cash and card is accepted: Most of the chairs were occupied and I found the service to be very friendly. They had a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from. C & L Nails is located in the same plaza as a North Island Credit Union and Subway, across a Best Buy and Walmart. The parking lot has a decent amount of spots, but was packed when I went most likely because of the holidays When I routed directly from Yelp, my navigation led me to the wrong plaza at first. I recommend directly searching for C & L Nails in your navigation app of choice to be routed by to their correct location. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.

(DESIGN BY ONYX NAILS) It saddens me to write this review as I have been coming to C&L since I was 8 years old and always loved my experience and nails here. This year I went for my 21st birthday nails. I wanted Jade nails with gold foil but was informed they did not have the materials for it so I found something different (Marble design). I scheduled an appointment with Lyn at 12pm but arrived earlier at 11:37am with the intent to wait for Lyn because she always does my nails for my birthday. As soon as I walked in I was instructed to sit with another nail tech to start my nails which I was hesitant about but it was fine because they just prepped my nails. I then was instructed to go to Charlie although my appointment was supposed to be with Lyn. I didn't want to say anything and sound difficult so I did. Lyn was finishing one client but took another one right after which kind of bothered me because I was supposed to start with Lyn at 12pm. I was then instructed to go get my pedicure done while waiting for my nails. After the pedicure it had been 2:30pm and Lyn finally started my design. I showed her a Marble design and was told she'd be able to do it. She then proceeded to give me basically green stripes with gaps and left it at that. Once I realized this was how she was leaving it I clarified that I didn't want it like this and that I wanted marble which from my understanding is the mixing of two polish colors. It was made very clear that this upset her enough to rudely say "just take it off her!!" I was shocked. Charlie then takes it off while guilt tripping me and telling me that they don't make very much money off doing my nails. To make this all worse they started talking to each other in a different language throwing in English words that made it clear they were talking about me. At the end of the visit I was still charged for my incomplete nails and had to go to another nail salon to do my design. Sad to say I will never come here again... read more

I give the place 2 stars because the person who actually did my pedicure was nice, but the inside is dirty the towels they use need to be replaced. My biggest issue was our waiting time, I was a walk in so I didn't expect quick service. After 15 min of waiting I asked if I should return, I was with my baby daughter and we were told to sit on a spa chair that we were next. We waited another 20 minutes, I only didn't leave because my daughter was so excited. After her pedicure manicure was completed, my child messed up two of her nails. I let them know I would pay more for them to fix it, and when they did they put on a different shade of pink. I told them it was the wrong color and they denied it & said they would only fix it once. I then simply paid and went else where, definitely will not return. read more

I always get compliments on my short stiletto nails and everyone that works here is so nice so that's why I keep coming back. Being called Baby is also another benefit! I've been coming back every few weeks since April, so I included pictures from different appointments! read more
Favorite nail set EVER!! I showed up last minute, and they were so kind to take me in still. I came in with a photo of something similar and these are honestly way better. Owner did my nails, super friendly, talkative but very focused on every detail. Not to mention how I came a little before closing time he did not rush he took his time and I appreciated that. Will be back again soon!! Thank you!! read more

Overall they did a decent job on the finished product, but I don't understand why we make a reservation just to have to wait. For a pedicure and full set it took 2 hours. I made an appointment only to wait too long. They rushed the pedicure and manicure and even cut me a couple times along my fingernails and toenails. The price ($95) for the treatment and quality is insane. I will not be going back the best part is kim, she's a sweetheart and has quality work. This establishment is dirty and there is grime and filth on everything. read more

Back story. So I was at another salon and asked for the first picture. When I was done I was given the second picture (horrible) So I came to C& L and they worked their magic and helped me fix what the other salon did. Lynn (I think that's how you spell it) helped me and she did and AMAZING JOB! I chose a different color then brown. She did the design once & said she wasn't happy with it a d did it again. Now that's the type of nail tech I want! I won't go to another place! Thanks Lynn !! read more

A very calming and fun atmosphere. Everyone was in such good spirits! Charlie the owner is very kind and has good positive energy. Very sincere and Jenny who did my nails was super cool and is a great artist and as well as Lisa who did my pedicure! I would recommend this place to my family and friends! I also went to note that when I called, Charlie mentioned it's directly across the street from Best Buy, so that helped me big time since the directions weren't that clear. I just re-routed it to Best Buy near this location and he was 100% right. read more
Overall: I will absolutely go back again because I have never beat that price - but it's not a glamorous experience. To get a gel colored French manicure WITH glitter (not as tacky as it sounds, I promise ;) ) for $25, that's an awesome deal. I couldn't find a website to speak of but I found a number to call so I could schedule an appointment - that didn't actually do me any good, I still had to wait at least 10-15 minutes before they were ready for me because in the middle of the day on a Friday they were BUSY! The nail esthetician was kind but not interested in chatting. I racked up my trivia knowledge watching Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on their TVs. I had brought in a photo of what I wanted and asked her how much it would be which she stayed true to when she rang me up (you can use a card it seems, as long as your total is over $10, otherwise there is a fee). It wasn't anything fancy - she applied lotion and took her time rubbing it in but no hand massage like is often customary. Some of the side edges of my nails aren't TOTALLY straight and smooth, but overall I LOVE how they turned out! read more

If zero stars was an option, I would. I made an appointment for noon the day before and warned them i get long nails, she said it wasn't a problem. I get there (with a 7 year old), to be told the owner can do them. I wait 45 minutes for him to start, finish one single nail, then his other appointment walks in. He puts me aside in a different chair telling me the other nail techs will finish as they become available since the salon is packed. I sat for another 45 minutes with no one telling me anything as every other walk in was getting done before me. I walked out with one nail and tips after an hour and a half. I drove 20 minutes out my way because their reviews on here were great. How disappointing. TERRIBLE SERVICE. TRASH read more
