Awesome, fast, efficient nail Salon, clean vibes, comfy chairs! Found this gem after my grandparents moved to the town of Templeton, Ca.

Cassy S.

Calvin always does a great job. I've gone here a few times to get a full set and pedicure. He is the best in North County, hands down. He pays attention to detail and makes sure you are completely happy. The woman who did my pedicure was amazing. She took her time and did an amazing job. It was her first day at Calvin's. It was the best pedicure I've ever gotten. She was very careful and precise.

Joanne R.

Calvin was so friendly and went over his history of his nail salon, his products and guarantees. My hands look beautiful. Emma worked on my feet. She didn't rush , gave a wonderful massage . My first visit here was excellent. I will definitely be a returning customer!

Service and sanitation needs improvement BIG TIME Based on reviews I thought my first time will be great but NOPE! Can't even rely on stars anymore and so disappointed I paid 68 almost 70 dollars for short short nails that had no color nor design ! Just the acrylic base !! I just paid and dip , never going back nor recommending this nasty place to anyone 1. I was early to my appt and didn't even confirm my name for my appt just moved with hands sign to come sit on the chair I was like no greet or anything ? 2. I asked for simple small French nails and calvin himself did not want to do the design be he said " it won't look good" as if I never gotten it before like really ? I'm paying you for a service and can't get what I'm paying for ?? 3. He started first off drilling my nails and the towel that was placed on the desk had cuticle skin pieces from someone else ! So disgusting I thought he at least could do is change it and clean the desk but nope , should've been my sign to walk out the door!! 4. I booked for nails and a pedicure but after declining my simple design for my nail and nasty desk with nail dust and skin pieces on the towel I just did the nails bc I have a wedding to be part of in 2 days 5. I needed to get my nails done and that day was the only day available just sucks I had to be almost 70 dollars for just acrylic , no color or design , not even nail tech home base charge that much and they are more sanitize I didn't get what I wanted for a special occasion and they ruined that for me for a wedding I'm part of !! NEVER AGAIN SO NASTY , RUDE , AND PRICEY FOR SHIT I deserve a refund or part of my money back honestly so disappointed in everything in that place

I absolutely love Calvin and the staff he's hired to work alongside him. It's easy to book, easy to find and time efficient. Once you walk in it feels like you've entered a luxury spa! And the atmosphere is comfortable and clean- I consider that one of the most important things when it comes to cosmetic services. All you need to do is show one of the staff a picture and they'll be 100% transparent about their skill levels. Calvin's definitely a man of quality and enjoys focusing on detail whilst still being a light and engaging with customers. Anything you're specific about, they'll make that a priority when it comes to the finished product. If you're still on the fence I recommend giving it a try! Calvin's is worth the money and time.

I'm new to town and needed a new nail salon. Megan was amazing! She gave me exactly what I wanted. I found my new nail place!

Went there today and got a pedicure, Calvin is a really nice person. His staff was kind. Unfortunately the technician scrubbed my skin clear off today. I think she was focused on something else? She was very apologetic. It was a very painful experience. I had to cancel going on a walk with my friends today because it hurts in shoes. When I brought it up to Calvin, he gave me 10 dollars off. Paint is a cute color I guess. It's hurting worse as the day goes by. Love that for me.

Wow... look at that SHINE! Simply put, Calvin is truly a master of his craft. I've lived in several states and have had my nails done by many artists over the years, but no one comes close to his attention to detail, precision, and beautiful work. He also has a genuinely kind heart, which makes the experience even better. One thing I really appreciate is when my acrylic fill stays around $60 cash. Having consistent pricing makes it easier to budget, and it's something I truly value as a loyal client. I hope to keep coming back for a long time because his work is absolutely unmatched. read more

Sadly, I have been disappointed with my last couple of gel manis here. The gel polish starts to peel before or shortly after I reach 1 week. Whyyyyyyyyyy? It's so sad when you think you found your forever nail place to now doubt if you will return. The positive thing is that I just txt Calvin a picture of the nails and he makes it right. The negative thing about this is having to return for an appt when and almost an hour of my day. They just expanded and will soon be a much larger salon. They will basically be double the size they currently are. read more

Kevin did a wonderful job on my nails!! It's my first time here, I'm new to North County and wanted to get my nails done for my graduation, I'm so glad I chose to go here! Very professional atmosphere and all the techs are very kind. They were very busy but were able to put me on the books only a day in advance, which was a great relief. I got a full set of acrylics with gel polish and designs. The total came to $80, and Kevin made sure I was aware of the full cost with the designs and gel polish before he went on with my nails which I really appreciated. It was my first time getting this shape - I normally go for coffin but wanted to try something new; I love it! I think I found my new nail place! read more

Pedicure was nice, Vibe was okay other than the fact that it seemed like they picked and choose who they wanted to offer complimentary services too. I thought prices were fair until I was hit with the $75 charge for a basic pedicure with Gel. It advertised as $45 for basic pedicure and a $15 charge for Gel Paint. So should have been a total of $60 so I'm not sure where the extra $15 came from. I didn't ask any questions as I've read the reviews and didn't want to deal with the hassle because I only came since I had a couple gift cards. Not to mention the girl who did my nails (super nice) didn't put on the top coat so they look a little unfinished in my opinion. Will not be returning. read more

This was my first time coming to Calvin's since my first review and I do have to say that I will not be returning. I used to accept their high prices because their work was high quality... but that has since changed. The gentleman that was helping me was REFUSING to do the design I requested (even though I showed him an inspiration picture before the appointment even started and he assured that he could do that design). I had to have another nail artist come and attempt to help what this gentleman was messing up, but my nails were already messed up to no end (crooked nails, hair stuck in two of them, design and color not what i asked for because the gentleman told me "i wasn't allowed to do regular polish because it wouldn't last", uneven designs, i requested coffin and was given square, and i've only had them for 2 weeks now and they're already beginning to come off my finger nail! read more

Their gel manicure and pedicure services are reasonably priced and of good quality. My first visit lasted me a solid three weeks. However, I did notice that there could have been improvement in the cuticle work. Mingee, who attended to me during my first visit, did a great job with mine. I will return again and would recommend to others.

Wil only just moved here in November and still has room for new clients. In six months, my bet is you will be waiting a while to get an appointment.

I went to calvin's today to get a new set and with a crazy idea on what i wanted. i knew it would be hard, but figured why not let's still do it! I wanted a white and green yin and yang sign on two of my fingers. Will, my new favorite person, was the one doing my nails this time, and let me tell ya... they turned out AMAZING. not only did the signs look really good, but he surprised me by putting chinese symbols/designs on my middle fingers. didn't know what was going on at first but the results were worth it. If anyone comes down to calvin's expect good things from everyone and make sure to give a generous tip to my pal Will. oh and don't forget the amazing Calvin ;) read more

Never being there before. I called this morning not thinking I would be able to get in. I called and Calvin answered. I asked if he had anytime to fit me in for my birthday, he said would 11:00 work I told him yes. I told him, as being a manicurist myself, I'm very, very picky. Calvin didn't disappoint! He rocked my nails. I also had a pedicure too. That was amazing! If anyone is looking for a place in Templeton Calvin's is the place! read more

Have been back to Calvin's four times since his new shop opened. Hector is now doing my nails (gel) and does an excellent job. He has a great sense of humor and speaks fluent English. What a fun place, relaxing, and knowing one will get fabulous service. Can't beat that! Just look at all the "five star" reviews this new salon already has. Beautiful and immaculate salon. read more
