We moved here in December and I enjoy going to Castaic nails. I was driving into Santa Clarita to get them done, but I like the convenience of them right down the street and they do a very good job. I took my mother in law there for pedicures and they were done very nice. read more

My mother knows the owner and as much as I want to leave a great review, unfortunately I cannot. I went in to get my nails done and I asked for simple acrylics. The first nail tech didn't even know HOW to do acrylics so I was ushered off to another nail tech who was talking about with with a different nail tech for about 5 minutes before the other guy came up to me and said that my nail tech had someone coming in in 45 minutes (I had made an appointment) and that he wouldn't be able to do the acrylics and asked if I would like to do gel instead. I mean hello? why would I ask for acrylics if I didn't want them? So after 15 minutes of wasting my time, I just walked out and all I can say is that I will NEVER be back to Castaic nails again. I should have listened to everyone who told me to never go there in the first place. Four workers and not a single one could help me. Ridiculous. read more

I've been going to Castaic nails for years and years... Michael and Queen is always been very hospitable... Caring and very nice everytime I come in, I could not understand why anyone would ever say anything rude about them. There ALWAYS nice and although there busy, it's always worth the wait!!!!! read more

They are the best! Michael is the best at nails, never a lift or break. The pedicures are relaxing and come out perfect. The salon is clean and modern. It is the only place I can go and feel confident that I will be happy with all services. I've never been disappointed going here. read more

I came in last minute for the first time Saturday, Micheal was amazing. He did a glitter ombre nail gel fill for me, They are BEAUTIFUL. this is going to be my new salon. I have been going to many out here trying to find new place the search is over. read more

Micheal and Quinn are awesome! They do a great job and are always on time! I love my nails!

Really great! Loved my pedicure . Best callous removal I've had in awhile. First time there and got a much needed pedicure . My feet were REALLY rough. I always like to get callous removal but most of the time I leave spas and am bummed cause it didn't do the trick. But not this time! I could feel and physically see the difference . read more

Came for the first time on monday and that was the most faster manicure gel in my life she only took like 15 mts and the next day my gel start to come off what kind of manicurist this lady are !!!!! I'm really mad , they charge $30 for this bad service...... read more

I've been going here for awhile and they are usually ok. Sometimes I have to ask them to fix or clean things up, but today was a bad one. I asked the lady to fix my pedicure because it was bubbling. She put another coat on. When I got to the front by the sun I could see that the polish looked chunky and uneven. Michael asked me to sit back down and they would redo them. Another man came by and said he didn't see anything wrong with them. And seemed very irritated. He starting speaking Vietnamese to Michael, the owner. They went back and forth for a bit before I decided to just leave. It had been over an hour for a pedicure. When I went to pay, Michael seemed annoyed with me and they continued to speak in Vietnamese. I called Michael later to say that I wasn't happy with the service and the way they were treating me. He claims he must speak Vietnamese to his employees, which I completely understand. But it was pretty obvious they weren't talking about me nicely. Sad to say this was my last time I'll be going here. Ultimately the bad customer service was my last straw. read more

I've lived in Castaic for 6 years and recently went in to Castaic Nails. I remembered quickly why I haven't been in there since I first moved here. There is NO posted prices, when you ask how much different procedures are, you get different answers, none of them are friendly, and one of the most irritating things is they rudely speak their Vietnamese language with one another in front of the customers. There were 3 of us wanting a Pedicure and one of them said "come back in 20 minutes" which we did. They started working on 2 of us shortly thereafter but I was left with no explanation or prediction as to when they would get to me next. 15 minutes later I walked out. The other two people I was with later reported that the job was mediocre at best. I like to give the business to our local shops but with so many choices around Santa Clarita, I'll gladly drive to get good service. read more

Great job Michael on my nails. My first time here and while the pedicure was just ok, Michael really knows what he is doing and went out of his way!!!! Very happy for the holidays!!! Fast forward 5 Mo's, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS place. The owner Michael is a complete jerk! He is sarcastic and rude and has NO PROBLEM making his customers feel uncomfortable and like they are talking about you in their language! I have given him chance after chance but TODAY was it. No excuse for being an asshole and getting paid for it apparently in his eyes! Never AGAIN! If I could give it less of a rating I would, no one should be exposed to his nonsense! If you are considering going here out of convenience, IT IS NOT WORTH IT! You an see for yourself in the pictures he had done Mickey Mouse on my nails more often then not. All of a sudden He doesn't know how to and made me horrible for asking and would intentionally make the round head way too big for ears. He was a complete unprofessional feeling like I was there for his amusement, while insulting me. If you don't mind a guy who will sing or hum throughout your entire appointment, this is your guy. If you want to sit there for an hour plus listening to Vietnamese when not singing or humming, this again...is your guy! The entire shopping center has basically gone out of business, I'm guessing they will be next! read more

Michael did an acrylic fill for me two weeks ago. I am still very pleased with his service. I am traveling and the person before Michael did a poor job, so he had to spend extra time and effort so my acrylics would not lift. read more

I'm so happy my sister brought me here!! After living in the bay area for 5 years and going to the same place and calling it home, "hesitant" was an understatement when I went to try out Castaic Nails but let me tell you, I was impressed. Juuuust like my home in the bay. I loved the fact that after the first visit Michael and Quinn remembered my name, knew what I wanted, and how I liked my nails. I loved the fact that they are clean, speak clear English the entire time, and are the epitome of professionalism. I now take my best friend every time I go and they make our girls day top notch. I would highly recommend them to anyone who would listen and the bad reviews are people who will never have their expectations met because if these two can't accomplish it, no one can!! read more

I Love this place! I've been driving here from Valencia for the last 9 years every 2 weeks and have never been disappointed. They are very professional and the facility is always clean. I get the best polka dotted toes in town with beautiful gel acrylics on my hands =) read more

I use to come here all the time but then there customer services just keep getting worse & worse they would take walk-in's before people with appointments there menu would say one price & then when it came time to pay the prices was more the what the menu said,there pedicure's are always very rushed the last few time's i was in there the owns had there little kid in there running around, the lady who waxed my eyebrows did such a bad job she didn't know what she was doing my eyebrows were uneven and look like shit i HATE this place & will NEVER go back read more

I've been going here for quite a long time and while there are fancier places you could go to, Castaic Nails is very clean and the staff is friendly. Michael and his wife are super sweet and they do a terrific job. read more

Super nice and clean shop, husband and wife working there. Great customer service and would be back & recommend..

Got my nails done (new set of white tips) and my eyebrows done and it was great. My first time here and I will definitely be coming back. Very reasonably priced and the people are very friendly. One thing is remember to bring cash for the tip because unfortunately you can't write it in if you pay with a card. I didn't have much cash so I felt bad for the young ladies that helped me. But I'll definitely be back and promise to make up for it. Such a nice clean place read more

They redeem themselves. Michael did my nails for free (fixed them) and they look great. I'm giving it a few days to make sure they stay in but I feel ill be pleased. read more

So glad I found Castaic Nails! Michael the owner is great, as is his wife! They've always been nice and professional and have always done a wonderful job on my nails. I just don't understand the negative reviews. The only thing I can think of, Mickey Mouse lady must be really obnoxious and hard to please. And sorry, but if you think they're always talking about you in their language then you're quite a narcissist. Michael and Quinn have never been anything but professional. I would recommend them to anyone!! read more

I have been going here for years. I have to say that for the most part the service has been good. I have had a few times where I have walked away less than satisified. I now have only 1 person do my toes and my nails and I am usually quite satisfied. read more

Pretty good with my nails; I am usually unaccoustumed to getting my nails done,so the person who work on my nails was nice and gave me some sugesstions. read more

I usually just get an acrylic overlay on my nails and they seem to last longer when I get them done here. Michael's work is always clean and of great quality. I work nearby so I usually go before or after work. Everyone has always been extremely nice to me and have not had any problems with their work. I only gave them 4 stars because my mom said she got Nail Fungus from this place and hasn't gone back since. read more

I've been to this salon twice, second time I walked in Quinn remembered my name, very impressive, they all do a wonderful job. I had my nails done with Gel at the end of May it's now July 5th that's how long my nails looked great. I'm going to have them done tomorrow because my nails have grown so much. I love Castaic Nails and will continue to go there and tell everyone I know to also go there. Everyone that works there are super friendly. read more

Great atmosphere! Amazing foot massage with the pedi. A little to pricey, but not too disappointed with the all around service. Good to know there here. read more

I have been going here for several years now and love Quinn and Michael! Always great service and my gel manicure always lasts longer than expected. They work very hard to give you the best experience!! read more

I usually just get a full set of acrylics and have them paint them a solid color. Last time I went it I asked for an oval/pointed shape and he did it perfectly. I like to come here because I feel like they last way longer than any of the other places I've been to and the price is p good. Only one complaint, he usually doesn't push my cuticle back before he applies the acrylic, so I have to remember to do it before he starts working on my nails. Also, they've always been really nice to me. read more

Mike & Quinn are very nice, the shop is clean and Mike answers every call. They do good work and are always in a good mood. I'll be back in 2 weeks! read more

This is the most amazing nail salon.... I have been to many and would drive a long way to see Michael and Quinn. Michael listens to exactly what you want and makes it it perfect. Plus if it's been one of those days him and Quinn make sure you leave smiling.... thanks guys read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! I wanted to get a quick gel manicure on Friday after work. I didn't feel like driving very far so I settled for Castaic Nails. I got a Gel Manicure. I didn't ask how much it would be. I sat down with a woman who told me she was new. Apparently she used to work in Canyon Country as an esthetician. I want to say her name was Jennifer but that could be completely wrong. I wanted to have a french tip. She did my manicure and shaped my nails like usual. It wasn't until later that I noticed they were crooked and different lengths. She started with the base coat. I cured my nails for four minutes but I knew that the base coat should only be curing for two minutes. However, I didn't say anything. She then started putting on the white tip very sloppily. She was planning on going back with acetone to take off the excess. There was another woman sitting next to her speaking Vietnamese the entire time during this process. She said something and then the woman set the white gel polish down and started taking it off my nails. At this point I was irritated because she wasted twenty minutes. I let her do her thing and just decided to watch TV. But before she started to apply the polish to the rest of my nails I told her that I did not want it on my cuticles because then it would lift. She started laughing at me and made some joke that I couldn't understand. When she was finished, I had polish on my cuticles and at my fingertips. I was very irritated because I made it a point to make sure that didn't happen. I asked her how much it was and she told me 32...RIDICULOUS. Do they think this low-end nail salon can charge this much. I left flustered but I just wanted to get out of there. When I got home I noticed there was still white residue left below the white line where she had applied the polish the first time and then whiped it off. It hasn't even been a week since I've had my gels on and they are completely ruined. THEY LOOK AWFUL. I will never...NEVER go back to this salon. They have terrible customer service and they do a terrible job...I'm not sure why they are still in business. read more

((Only rating one star because you HAVE to submit a rating in order to post a review. Otherwise, NO STARS.)) After being a loyal customer of Castaic Nails for OVER TEN YEARS, today will be the last day I ever step foot in this "salon," and I use that term loosely in this case. Let me say that Quyen (pronounced "Quinn") is THE BEST for pedicures. She's detailed, she's gentle, she gives a nice little foot massage... all good things. However, her husband Michael is another story. Back in 2009, I paid for an airbrush design (an extra $20 for ALL of my fingers) and I asked him (Michael) to please spray the white on heavier since the top coat all but erased the airbrushing. Well, he proceeded to YELL at me saying that I make "demands" and he just can't do it! I made sure to mention that I wasn't "demanding" anything $20 EXTRA should already get me but he still yelled at me. I didn't blow up like I wanted to and just decided I'd continue going for the awesome pedicures Quyen gives but would get my hands done somewhere else. After about 6 years, I decided it's just too inconvenient to make more than one stop for paws and claws, and time has mellowed me so I'm not AS picky about my nails anymore, so I went ahead and started having Michael do my nails again. Today made me remember why I DO NOT pay him to do my nails, and now I won't even come back for the pedicures. So..... last visit, I paid extra to have the pretty seashell acrylic put on but I noticed after I was home that he BARELY used any of the specialty acrylic he charged me $10 extra for. Just now as I sat at his table for my appointment with him, I started to explain that I wanted him to just overlay some additional seashell acrylic because you could see right through it. This man proceeded to start yelling AGAIN (clearly this is just who he is if after all these years his reaction to a simple request is so dramatic and exactly the same), and all but kicked me out! Just because I asked him to put a little more acrylic?! He wouldn't let me talk, he just kept talking over me. He started to try and argue with me and when I wouldn't have it, he told me to have someone else do my nails, threw his hands up and yelled "I'm done!" and STORMED OFF! Wow! Let me repeat: AFTER OVER TEN YEARS OF PATRONIZING HIS BUSINESS- - AND EVEN TIPPING HIM!!! (In case anyone is not familiar, we are not required to tip the owner of a shop, AND MICHAEL IS THE OWNER.) I tried appealing to Quyen but sadly, she was no help. I said I would NEVER be back after she asked me to still come for my pedicures. Michael came back out from the back (a few times!) and tried to go in for round two, three, four... but I'll be honest, after all the crap I've taken from someone who doesn't pay MY bills, I shut him down and wouldn't let him speak. No, sweet cheeks... *I'M the one who's done. The work done in this salon is NOT worth the trouble. Anyone looking for a nail salon in the area, do what I didn't do and go ANYWHERE else. Poor, poor Quyen..... read more

Always friendly! Always take their time with me. They use great products! I will never go anywhere else :) Michael and Quinn are sweethearts and really go out of their way to satisfy! If you're lucky enough, Michael will sing to you! :) read more

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I got a pink and white full set, that night one of the nails chipped. I went first thing the next morning to have it repaired. the man working told me he could not help me and i had to come back in two hours because he "had an appointment" THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE THERE. and it takes 5 minutes to fix a chipped nail! when i left, i saw the same man through the window go and sit down and proceed to drink his coffee. i seriously doubt he even had an upcoming appointment. PURE LAZINESS AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

I've gone there three times. They say they take walk-ins. My first two times there I was a walk in. The man at the front counter asked me to pick a color from the wall and have a seat. The pedicures were o.k. I was in a hurry both times and did not want to drive into Valencia for a pedicure. The third time I came I needed a pedicure. The same man was at the front counter servicing a customer. I greeted him and I asked for a pedicure. As I proceeded to a selection of a nail polish on the wall to pick a color, as I did the first two times I was there, he literally rolled his eyes at me and said I needed an appointment. There were two customers in the place at the time. I informed him that I did not need an appointment the other times I came. He very rudely stated that I needed an appointment now. I could understand if the place was crowded but it wasn't. I told him to have a nice day and I left. I gave them two stars because they did do an ok job on my previous two pedicures. read more

I have been going there since they opened many years ago. I tried a few other places but nothing compared. They always make me feel comfortable and offer exceptional service. I moved away from the area and still continue to take the extra time to drive back. I will be a customer for life. read more

I love this spa! The people are delightful and always willing to chat. They do great designs and are extremely polite. I always come here with my mother and sister. I do recommend! read more

Great customer service! I am a repeat customer for a year now....great job on my nails!

I have been going to Castaic Nails for 7 months and love Michael and Quinn. They do great work and always remember me when I go in. Every 2 weeks pink and white fill and eyebrow wax. If you are looking for a wonderful and relaxing experience give Castaic Nails a try, you won't be disappointed. Very clean and sanitary. read more
