The main lady moves very quickly but it feels rushed. My gel polish has YET to be done neatly and doesn't look professionally done by her at all. (I've been 4 times now) I needed nail repair for a nail that was broken and she did my repair nail a COMPLETELY different shape (coffin) than the rest of my original nails that she did prior to this visit (square). When I tried to give her a heads up that it was looking to narrow, she said she had planned to square it out with the gel Polish and acrylic but it was still completely coffin shaped when she finished. I honestly had to laugh bc I couldn't believe she made this one nail a completely different shape than the rest of my set. It's an inconvenience to constantly have to come back when you realize they made mistakes. Which has been a very time. The older gentleman has fixxed my nails twice now. He does a good job and makes the gel polish look a lot neater. He moves pretty fast himself. But my nails never look professionally done. They always give an amateur or better yet a RUSHED look. The imperfections are so easily avoidable if they took their time and paid attention to detail. I think this place is okay but you can't be afraid to be very clear on what you want and have them fix imperfections before you leave. They are more than capable of doing good nails. But you have to be more than clear on exactly what you want your nails to look like. Like today I went and got my coffin shaped re done in square shape to match the rest of nails. He got an attitude and slammed the gel Polish machine on the ground when he couldn't find the exact color bc I wasn't happy about that news. I was just there yesterday. He ended up having to re paint all my nails (since he couldn't find the exact color) for free. They turned out okay....Better. Moving on he rushed the top coat so I have clear gloss coat that has dripped and dried on the side of my nails. Again, no attention to detail. But I appreciate him always fixing it free of charge.
Been going here for a few years and I hadn't been there in a while because the service got kind of bad. Went in again recently in efforts to support local business and I regret it. I wanted to take off my acrylic/ gel nails and give me regular gel nail polish. Instead of soaking off, they crudely took them with another fake nail. My nail beds are destroyed. My pinky nail is particularly in bad shape. He still painted over even though it's clearly that a piece of the nail was missing. I took off the gel a few days after because it was clear that my nails were in bad shape plus the paint job was horrible. There was air bubbles and dents everywhere. Don't recommend coming here. Took these pics to show you how bad they left my nails bed because they refuse to soak them instead of crudely taking them off. My nails have had 2 weeks to recover so they don't look as bad anymore but look at my pinky!
I've been coming to Carnation Nails for over a year. Henry and Kimmy are the owners. They are so nice and they do great work. Kimmy is an amazing nail artist. She knows I love bling and she will either come up with a design she'll know I like or I can come in with something in mind. I get so many compliments, people should know if you want classic nails to something more fancy you can get it here!! I love the dip nails, never going back to acrylic, they last a long time! Pedicures are wonderful here too. I go to Lisa, she does a great job and never hurts me. I highly recommend Carnation Nails!!

Got a gel manicure and pedicure. Henry assisted with a broken nail as I sat in the spa chair for the pedicure. Lani did my pedicure and manicure with design. I was completely satisfied. Lani is very detailed and takes her time to get your nails the way you like. Best experience I've had at a nail salon. read more

I had a 5pm appointment for a full set and a pedicure. When I Arrived for my appointment I was seated right away at station four if I'm not mistaken. The gentleman was eating and his station with a mess. He quickly tried to tidy up. I showed him the design I wanted which was a very simple French tip acrylic almond shape design. Everything started off OK and then in the middle of the acrylic application a woman came up to me to offer me the pedicure. Which I found very odd considering the fact that typical pedicures are done and a pedicure chair not while you're getting your nails done. I found it very uncomfortable given the fact that I am seven months pregnant and was struggling to stay still while they were trying to do my nails and my feet at the same time I found the application rough and uncomfortable and I was very unhappy with the service. I would have liked to have a traditional pedicure with a massage which I saw several people getting while I was there. The woman doing the pedicure did not have very good customer service. On top of that the gentleman gave me one design on one hand and one design on the other hand similar to what I asked for but still very different and was surprised I wanted both of my hands to be the same. He did try to make the other hand look close to what it was supposed to look like but I was still pretty unhappy all the same. I paid my bill. I did not leave a tip because I was very unhappy with the service and I will not be returning nor will I be recommending the salon in the future. I am very disappointed because these nails were supposed to be for my baby shower which is on Saturday. I feel like one star is still too generous. I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get my nails redone because they look pretty awful. read more

Please do yourself a favor by not going to this place and save your time and money! I got my nails done here after 24 hours it chipped so I called them they said they will fix it! I waste another 1 hr of my time by going there the lady is telling me it's just 7 dollars lets do a polish change! I said no way it's been 24 hrs only I won't pay again! So she did another coat on top of the chipped one and less than 12 hrs it chipped again! This is ridiculous. These people are rude and don't know their job! The management at this place is worst than worst! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! This place is the most horrible and disgusting nail salon I've ever experienced. The staff are absolutely rude and have no work ethics. I took my mother, a CANCER patient to this place to get her nails done to cheer her up and they DESTROYED her nails!! The nail "tech" who did her nails was a very rude woman who obviously did not care and wouldn't listen to anything my mother told her. It has not even been a whole week and never in my life had i seen my mother's nails like this before. I really wonder what disgusting thing this woman used on my mother's nails to make them fall out and break this way. I then called this place to speak to the manager and the guy who picked up the phone lied to me and said that their manager is on vacation and he gave me a fake number to call to reach the manager. After i called the number and found out that it was fake i called them back and this time a woman picked up and as soon as i started telling her what happened i heard the other guy shout in the back "hang up hang up" and she hung up on me right away. So i called them again and the first guy picked up again and he treated me so rudely and disrespectfully and started to curse. This place is abysmal and i will sue them for such horrible service and manners. read more

The only reason I gave this place a 2 star is because at the very least at least the pedicures are decent. I called Saturday morning for a gel manicure and a regular spa pedicure. When I got there I decided to do gel dip powder instead of a gel manicure. They only have 3 people available to do this service. A nice lady did my pedicure and it was okay, not the best but I wasn't completely disappointed. A gentleman started off doing my nails, he removed my current gel dip polish and started applying the new powder. He dipped my fingers in so much powder that it was all over me and my stuff and I could already tell at this point that he was applying too many layers. He then stopped my manicure right in the middle and said his wife would complete it. I sat in the pedicure spa chair for about 20 minutes before I mentioned to her that I am waiting to get my nails done. She then asked her client to sit in the waiting area and called me to finish my nails. She was not paying attention at all while doing my nails, she was taking calls, greeting customers and continuously pausing to write something down in her notebook. I think because she was so distracted she applied way too many layers of clear gel polish on my nails. She also continued to go on and on about how next time i should be clear that I want get dip and not a regular gel manicure, I completely understand this but I do not think that was a valid reason to give me such bad service. My nails are thick and very ugly, that same day and Sunday my fingers hurt so bad it was unbearable. I had to take pain medication to soothe the pain an bit but it did not really help. Their were so many layers of polish on my nails that it dripped down to the sides of my nail beds and was pushing down on my skin. I will never come back here again. This was a horrible experience. read more

I went for the purpose of getting an acrylic on my left toe. I use an acrylic on it. I walked in with an old, dirty broken one. Not sure if this woman's name, but she has always been extremely unprofessional and rude.. I believe she is the men's wife. Sits on the left when you come in. Anyhow she saw the mail and told me no I can't do that for you..although she saw it was broken. She added powder, barely touched it after. I have only half of my own nail.. and it grows up instead of straight. She needed to add a new mail and file everything. She said she could not do it, and the woman assigned to do my pedicure had no idea what she was doing, just washed, barely file, and added the color which looked horrible. The toes you could tell something was wrong. She had the audacity to charge $35 as if I had gotten a new and gel. I had stopped going to this place because of her. I had gone only for Priscila and Paul. This woman has no idea how to treat her customers even less to run a business . read more

Long story short after one day of wear I realized that the "lash extensions" were in fact incredibly itchy, uncomfortable and heavy so I painfully removed them myself. I asked for a refund but of course didn't receive it back in full. I mistakenly made an appointment here thinking it was the salon in Tampa on Ventura (of which I love the results) under the same name. Once I realized it was the wrong salon I figured I would give them a try and I lived to regret it. The service is NOT eyelash extensions. They are individuals and clusters that you can buy from the beauty supply store and glue on yourself. The lash tech glues them all over your lid to make them appear fuller but in actuality only makes them heavy, noticeably fake and uncomfortable (you shouldn't feel extensions). When the service was over you could CLEARLY see the lashes glued on my lid as well as the thick black glue she used. When I expressed my concern about it she responded by saying put eyeliner and mascara on it to cover her mistakes which clearly defeats the purpose of getting extensions! She then notified me that they only take cash (although we spoke twice on the phone prior to appointment and I was never giving the heads up so I could be prepared) so I had to pay an extra fee at the bank next door to get cash since I don't bank with them. Terrible, terrible service. No idea how she got her license. read more

I came here today to fix a horrible job that a different nail salon did. I made an appointment and got called after a few minutes. Paul did my nails and he did an amazing job!!! He gave me exactly what I wanted - tips and dip powder. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and worked extremely efficiently. I definitely recommend this place and will be coming here to get my nails done from now on!!! read more

It's a cash only place which I don't mind if there is a sign in the window or they mention it before you start! I had to run with wet nails to grab cash out of the ATM. Beside that this place was jam packed. It was uncomfortable to sit. I made an appointment and still had to wait for 45 minutes to get my nails done. I had a pink fill and it was okay. The guy that did my nails made them so thin (which I HATE) and they are already in need of another fill. I specifically asked for dark pink and got light pink. They also don't have high quality polish selections. I WON'T BE BACK! read more

Cheapest Mani Pedi around at $25. They are a cash only place so make sure you hit the ATM before coming. ALSO make an appointment first. They take walk ins but you could wait an hour, and it tends to get busy on the weekends. My stylist, Nai, was awesome! She really took care with cleaning, shaping, and cutting my nails. There's nothing fancy here, just straight up nails. read more

Paul did my nails, reg manicure. He's very sweet and professional. I got a pedi there too and they did a fantastic job! This spot uses team effort & I didn't even feel rushed. ONLY thing that makes me hesitate for the "5th star" is their gel is a slightly overpriced compared to salons I've been too around the valley. Nonetheless, their service is great! Plenty of parking! read more

WOW! The worst manicure I've ever gotten! One hand was in water and she started "removing cuticle" on the other hand which was completely DRY! She cut me and didn't even care to dab the blood off. Butchered my cuticles and color application was uneven. My 5 year old can do a better job at applying color. And customer service, What customer service?! I am not quite sure how this place is in business. This was an awful experience. PLEASE Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

This was my second time coming here, and I won't be coming again. They were nice, at first. I don't know if the lady I got assigned to was in a hurry, but she did a poor job. She was talking bad about the guys previous job, and asking rhetorical questions, "why did the guy do them like this", "why did he ___"; as if it were a bad job. But the nails she was talking poorly about, I really liked (which is why I went back). When she was doing my nails, she wanted to do everything with dipping powder and kept adding more powder than she should have (probably to cover up the previous French tip), which is probably why they came out so thick. I originally came for a fill because I loved how they came out the first time. I'm usually never the person to complain. But I was sitting in my car really upset since my nails look so bulgy, uneven in color and shape (not straight at all). They looked as if they didn't try to file them. So I went back and I told them "I felt bad for coming back but I didn't like them". I initially thought this would be no problem, BOY I WAS WRONG! I didn't even try to cause a scene or come with the intention of one. But the lady who did my nails started yelling in her first language and was basically gaslighting me by saying it was my fault to make an appointment next time. She could have and should have never accepted me in if they were overbooked, that's why I had asked first. I request the person who first did them because I loved the previous set I had. I said I can come back any day. The lady said she was never gonna do my nails again, as if I were in the wrong for not liking a service Im paying for. I'm more upset about the way they reacted after I said something, I feel like I got insulted. Truly showed this places true colors. Please don't waste your time or money. There are many more friendly and cleaner places than this. read more

I love going to this place BUT I wouldn't go with just anybody to do your nails and ALWAYS schedule an appointment. I suggest going to my favorite, Henry, or the lady across from him, An. They are by far the best! They have been there a long time and know what they are doing. They are very clean on the nails and work at a fast pace (which is convenient for somebody whose schedule is as busy as mine). I really enjoy talking with them and they always keep my appointments either early or right on time (I've been there once when I had to wait twenty minutes but that's nothing compared to how busy these people are). They have great prices and friendly staff members. P.S. I've never gotten a pedi here but I heard it was to die for. read more

I came in today for a pedicure and made an appointment for 3:15. When I got in I was taken right away. They don't have the best color selection and all of the polishes are really watered down Overall the experience was okay. The process was really long though which is ok for some but not for me. I've never had a pedicure that long before. She was very thorough with cutting my cuticles but the polish was kind of sloppy. I forgot my sandals at home and they sold me sandals for $2. They were legit sandals to walk around in not the regular salon sandals so I wasn't too mad. My only cons to this place is that it's not the cleanest, my nails we not cut and shaped evenly even though I asked her repeatedly to fix it, and the pedi took too long my for liking. I would come back again when I'm not in a hurry + I only spent $20! (Pedi-$15 Sandals-$2 Tip-$3) MAKE SURE TO BRING CASH THEY DONT ACCEPT CARDS. read more

I am so happy I stumbled along this nail salon! I've been coming now for about 2 months and I've always left extremely satisfied. They have such a wide selection of colors to choose from in both regular and gel polish. They also do dip nail which is organic, better than acrylics! The prices are unbeatable and the service is great. Only downfall is they can get extremely busy (even on the weekdays) so I highly recommend you book an appointment rather than just showing up as a walk-in. read more
