I have been coming here since 2023. I've never walked out unhappy with my nails. The staff does a wonderful job. They clean my nails well, take their time to ensure I'm happy with it, and fix anything before I catch it. I can come in and relax, pick my color, then let them do their thing. They have a lot of colors to choose from. Kim is great and T is my go-to. If you're looking for a great nail place, this is it. read more

I came here on a whim during my lunch break and got such a nice pedicure from one of the young men who work here. He had great attention to detail and also gave an actually good massage which is rare now. They have nice peaceful music playing and while the space is a little cluttered/dated, it's very clean. read more

My go-to for over a year now. I've walked out loving my nails every time. They do a very nice job and have a relaxing atmosphere to really relish in the pampering. They don't have OPI Polish colors, which bothered me at first. But the DND colors are comparable and stay on just as long. Their prices are reasonable; they prefer cash and ask for $1 processing fee when using credit cards. It's a clean place and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend! read more

Nails are amazingly done well aligned, and he did a wonderful job with the ombre I requested. Would be a five out of five stars if he didn't accidentally make me bleed on my right ring finger when filing with the motorized file. It was an honest mistake. I'm also pretty sure he didn't charge me for the glitter because of his accident which was greatly appreciated. read more

Nina does an amazing job! She does exactly what I ask for. My nails last the longest when she does them.

I got the best pedicure from Nina! Done in one hour. Painless and thorough. Scrubbed everything and cuts cuticles without it hurting. She also did an amazing paint job! 10/10 read more

Love this gem of a salon. I've been looking for a salon for forever that was clean, professional, good at what they do, and most importantly costumer service oriented! They have plastic barriers up due to the pandemic and they actually respect and consistantly follow the guidelines to keep people safe. And their work is really good, like the best I've seen. You do have to make an appointment but as long as it's not extremely last minute you can usually schedule whatever time you want. They do walk-ins, but they're not going to push it and have you waiting for an hour by allowing too many people walking in if they don't have the time or manpower. No more sloppy acrylic, ignored requests, constant up selling, inconsistent pricing and being treated like a criminal anytime I had a basic complaint. I have found my people! read more

I have been to nail shop twice. The first time I requested my nails be thin and the tech told me no, because I may break them. I am a grown woman paying for a service and was told no. She is not the one who has to whare them. The Second time I went was perfect. The first black women tech I had in a while. And she did her thank. I got her card her name and her schedule, she was going to be my permanent tech. I called the shop 3 weeks later to make an appointment with her again, and I was told. There's no one here by that name. I said she must have quit. The lady told me no one ever worked here by that name. And that they was all "family." All but the best nail tech they ever had. She was totally erased. Wow!! So now I'm looking for a new shop again. read more

I was very impressed with the service that I received by the rep at California Nails. They were very efficient and even fixed a broken nail that I have had for a while that other salons merely covered with polish. I am from out of town and needed to have my nails done right away. I was very happy that I found this place and wish that it was closer to home. read more

The smell when you walk in, I should of left, but my friend had made reservations for 4 of us. This place has bad presentation- all the colors seemed old and the labels had peeled off. Lots of off-brand polish. Nothing looked clean and it looked cheap. I got a regular pedicure- which is why it got 2 and not one star- which was good. They use a shaver (it looks like a cheese grater) and got lots of dead skin off. My feet feel great. However-- my gel manicure. The women cut my cuticles and I started bleeding on 2 different fingers, but it felt like it should of been 8. I will not be back. read more

I've been coming here for more than 5 years. The place is clean. The employees are friendly. You get fast efficient service for a reasonable price. Grace is the best. read more

This place has been here for 26 years ! they sure are doing something right I stopped in for a polish change, I did call ahead just to see if I would be able to get in & I did ! I got the pleasure of having my nails done by Steve who paid great attention to the shape of my nails. While the color options weren't that fabulous to my liking, I was able to go with "Sweet Romance " it is actually a gel color but I got it normal. $7 for polish change, good parking , lovely staff and all around good time read more

Salon visits are not typically business I can get done over a work lunch hour, unless I judiciously stretch the definition of "hour" to "all afternoon." When I kept missing out on getting my eyebrows shaped due to a manic schedule of work and private engagements, I tried to find a decent salon without a twenty minute drive for all of ten minutes of work. California Nails has convenience on its side, and proximity to a Subway and Cafe Thai never hurts. I wish in retrospect I just went into Cafe Thai and ordered the spiciest pad thai they had. Burning my eyebrows off would have helped me more. California Nails follows the template for every other nail salon: pale walls, white tables, suspicious massage pedicure chairs, and a wall of OPI nail polish. I decided to bite the bullet and go into the back to the private room used for waxing. The blanket covering the padded chair looked in need of a clean. Warning number one. Number two was the communal wax pot that was probably a knockoff mini Crock Pot left to bubble for the last eight weeks. It's always a bad sign if the wax is a cauldron for every stick and every person, but I was already overdo and lacking many options. The girl performing the waxing was gentle and fairly thorough. I'm hardly high maintenance when it comes to waxing -- I let them decide the shape and method they want to use -- but I appreciate people who take the time to pluck stray hairs and do more than slather on wax and a gauze bandage. She did a nice job getting the shape, and spent a reasonable amount of time cleaning up my brows. She also did a fine job getting smears of wax into hair at my temples. Mine is long, and I usually try to pull it back. There will always be wisps and pieces coming free, hence the use of clips and hairbands. I couldn't do much about the short wisps, and I spent the next two or three hours picking out fat globs. She mentioned something like 'Oops' while she was working, but I would have appreciated more notice or time to at least fix the gunk instead of walking out of there with a mess snarling up my tresses. I won't be going back. read more

Great experience and great mani and pedi! I grew up in the area and came back for a holiday weekend. They did a great job and I'll definitely go back when I'm in town. read more

The price reflects the quality of the services provided. I had gotten a pedicure, along with a full painted set with that. What I can say is that employees were very kind seemed like they would do anything to make their customers satisfied and happy. read more

Definitely 5 stars. Fast, friendly, and affordable. I received a basic manicure and pedicure. They did a good job. I didn't get any polish by choice. But based on the the selections and observing other patrons I have no doubt they are great at polishing too! read more

Had to wait quite a long time, as they are understaffed and had a lot of appointments! However myself and my coworker both said it was worth the wait! We love our nails by Steve! Make sure you book with him!! read more

I enjoy my time here but it the length of time spent in here depends on who you get as your technician. Some are much better than others.

I always leave satisfied, everyone here is always helpful and nice. Clean and great place. Also very fair prices.

i got a shellac mani and they did them okay they look good but they got it off my nail and if i try to pick it off it would peel off all of my polish but i'll live but this place has very nice staff! and very clean which is a plus! read more
