Century Nails - Special for Valentines Day - Nail Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

Small but mighty. They have amazing services and the prices are just as great. My tech's name is Lana and she's very sweet and did an amazing job. Because it's smaller you will need to make an appointment cause it can be hit or miss if you walk in but trust it's worth it. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Lana is so sweet. She has done my nails for about a decade. Always lovely experience. I had only plain nails this time (mani-pedi) but service and care was wonderful. read more

Century Nails is great! You would think they are another one of those nail salons you can just drop into for a manicure, pedicure, or set of nails. Nope, not usually. That means people really like the salon and keep it busy. You need to make a reservation in advance most of the time. I have witnessed a few people walk in and be able to get in, but that's not the norm. You might think I'm giving them a bad review, but in fact it's just the opposite. I'm pointing out they are busy because they are that good. The three women who work there are all skilled in all manner of nail care. They do it all. Manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails and gel nails. French tips or a very wide selection of nail polish colours to choose from. Some of the amazing things about this salon is how friendly the employees are. After your first appointment they will likely remember your name and greet you by name when you come in again. Secondly, their prices are very very reasonable. Probably the lowest of any salon in Ventura. And they never, ever upsell you. Unlike other salons that want to charge extra for a foot or leg massage or for removing calluses from your feet Century Nails never does that. Their low prices include everything you want in a manicure or pedicure. The salon is clean and they line the tub to soak your feet with a disposable plastic liner. So call Century Nails and make your appointment. You won't regret it and your nails will look great. read more

They do the most wonderful job of nails here and they are both generous with their time and artistic ability. Lana did a beautiful job on my nails doing them in the very brilliant bright color I wrote requested and because I come to her often as a regular customer, she even gave me some gorgeous cherry blossoms a top each big toe read more

Bummed so many have found this place! No more same day in appointments now but worth it! Prices are great and I love my nails when done every time read more

A busy place, but, for me, worth it! I recently started having pedicures done by Kim, and each time is excellent and more relaxing than before. Prices are good, and the place is clean, neat with good service. Happy! read more

Great salon and great prices.Easy to get an appointment with. Have been using them for some time.

I really wanted to have this salon be "the one", but I guess not. I've gone here 4-5 times, but this last time, just before a two week vacation, I needed a little more done: acrylic on my big toe so the nail wouldn't split while away, and acrylic (for the first time since 3/20) so my nails would weather being in the ocean for two weeks. Well... the manicurist put so little acrylic on the toe that after one week it had split. And by the time I returned, my acrylic nails were chipping, not at the ends where you might expect, but near the top and sides of the nail. So I went into the shop to discuss my displeasure, quietly, because I wanted to give them a chance to make things right. Bottom line, the manicurist refused to make another appt with me. She said I'd be better off going to another shop, since I was unhappy with the manicure I'd gotten. Okay! I guess I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

I stopped by to get one nail fixed since I cracked it and they did not say hello, I was ignored for 10 minutes or so. When finally acknowledged, they turned me away and told me they cannot fix it and don't have time. read more

I wont go anywhere else! Every single time I have come in here I've gotten great service. Typically I book my appt in advance as they can get VERY busy. I always either see Kathy or Lana. I have visited plenty of other nail salons in the area in the past but after I found this gem I wont be going anywhere else. Any time I have had an issue (very rarely) with my nails I can always depend on anyone at the shop helping me out without attitude or hesitation. read more

Century Nails - Gel mani bring me back to life, thanks Lana. Color is ballet slippers - Nail Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

I always do my own nails and have been doing gel polish manicures and pedicures at home for the past few months. Gel polish is amazing since it won't chip or fade for up to 4 weeks but it is very time consuming to apply, especially by an amateur like myself. I needed a break! After yelping a few local nail salons, trying to find one that would accept a 6:30pm appointment I scheduled a gel polish mani/pedi last night at Century Nails (open until 8pm). The shop is not a fancy spa but the staff was friendly and really worked hard to make sure I felt comfortable and relaxed. I read the latest copy of People, enjoyed the light foot and hand massages, and an hour and a half later practically skipped to my car with a perfect set of French nails and toes. $65 + tip and I am a very satisfied new customer. I can't stop looking at my nails and toes - they've never looked so good! Highly recommend for gel polish. Heads up: cash only. read more

I wanted so badly to love this place! The ladies are so incredibly nice! But after getting a gel manicure here twice and having the gel chip off in less than a week I called to ask if they could redo the polish because a $25 gel manicure should last at the VERY LEAST a week. They said it would be $15 for new polish. I don't want to spend that much money or time on getting my nails done once a week. read more

Lilly gives the BEST pedicures. She is always super busy so make sure and make an appt ahead of time. Andy does fills mostly and is the master. Lana will thread your lip or eyebrows, not advertised but you can ask. EXTREMLY REASONABLE PRICES!!!! No spa chair but everything is SUPER clean and sanitary. PS. I sent my Dad there to see Lilly and after seeing her one time he goes on a regular basis. Hes a military manly man too, so that tells u something ;) read more

I been here a couple times and every time I come It's An amazing experience Lana and Lilly are so nice. They are always super busy , but they make time for you .the only down side is that they don't have massage chairs but that is totally fine . Cheap prices read more

Century Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

Lana was able to squeeze me in for a mani/pedi and she couldn't have been nicer and did a great job! And the price is right... far cheaper than all the other nail salons in the area. I will definitely be going back! read more

Wow time to give credit where credit is due... I am a huge fan of Century Nails! I've been going to them for a year. After jumping from salon to salon dealing with bad pedicures, long waits, unnecessary credit card fees, and ridiculous up-selling I THANKFULLY found this place. Time to share this word-of-mouth jewel to the Yelp community. PROS / CONS + Inexpensive Services!! + No up-selling + Good quality + Clean + Reliable + Communicative employees + Friendly, remember you, & very accommodating + Unique service: threading (in addition to standard hair removal) - CASH ONLY - Busy during weekends for walk-ins - Potentially weak massages unless you ask - No high-end massaging chairs - Smaller sized shop - no airbrushing ---- First Impression ---- This salon is more popular by word of mouth than anything else. They stay very busy and have repeat clients. I consistently watched as clients came in, almost all regulars, and they recognized them by name immediately. They even remembered my name on a walk-in on my third visit? Impressive. ----Quality of Service ---- (Note: One of my biggest issues with salons is up-selling after they give a base price. If you were going to charge for a top coat, you should include that in the PRICE, not make me pay more or do without after I'm sitting down! I can't stand nickle and diming!) Century Nails has never tried to up-sell anything after I'm sitting down. They might give me recommendations if I ask questions but nothing for pure profit to them. The employees speak great English and are good about managing conversation. Sometimes I chat a bit but they can tell if I want to relax and say nothing or if I want to read my book. Haven't experienced any awkward conversations or had any difficulty relaying what I wanted. CON: I like a strong massage. The last time I had a pedicure it felt like she was ticking my feet. If you like a stronger massage say so up front and they'll accommodate you. All you have to do is ask. ---- Price ---- Cheaper for ALL services than I've found anywhere else! I've listed the price range I found at salons in the area (I've been to 6+ in Ventura) Basic acrylic fill: $13.00 (normal $18 - $25) Pink & White Acrylic Fill: $20 (normal $30 - $35) Pedicure: $15 (normal $25) Manicure: $10 (normal $12-$15) ***Mani/Pedi for $25 TOTAL? Unheard of to me! *** ---- Wait time ---- They accept walk ins and always try to accommodate me, even if they are packed. From my first day there I've felt they are concerned about me as a client and never tell me "just 10 minutes" and leave me sitting for 30+ like other salons just trying to get me in the door. Get this...I was once the annoying customer (yes, only once) who walked in 20 minutes before closing asking for a fill & pedi. I expected to make an appointment for the following day but the owner stayed after they closed to do my nails. I told him I'd be happy to come back but he took the time to do my nails himself (and didn't make me feel bad about it!). CON: During the weekends they are busy busy busy. Sometimes during the week I've walked in and they had to schedule me for the next day. ----Salon---- CON: They don't have a credit card machine so you have to bring cash. There is an ATM two doors down for a $2.00 fee. Even though they are all about basics I think that can be a good thing. They have a small shop which is clean and well maintained. They don't have flashy decorations or a modern storefront and don't have expensive massage chairs. If they do a pedicure its a heated tub brought to you. For the price, the quality of the service, and the attentiveness of the employees I'd happily trade in a flashy massage chair that looks nice but doesn't quite hit the right spots anyways. Keep it simple and remember what you went there for in the first place. read more

I've been looking for a better place in the Ventura area for wife and I and after seeing this place had the highest ratings of all the others we thought we'd give it a go. The people who worked there were nice and took care of us quickly. And that's where the positive comments end. Granted the cost of a mani/pedi is only $20 but I have to tell you I was pretty apprehensious the entire time. Why? Because nothing looked clean! Manicure - she gave us both a "normal" manicure but when she brought out the "tools" in an old funky looking glass (as in a glass you buy from Target to dring out of) I was praying she didn't nick me. Pedicure - The lady goes in back and brings back a plastic tub lined with plastic. Ok - I guess that's fine but then she reaches for the same damn glass with the tools in it. As she's clipping my nails and cuticles she just brushes it all on the floor and then snaps the towel when she's done sending stuff every where. I'm not a germ-a-phobe or an exceptional neat freak but I was really uncomfortable the entire time worrying about getting some infection from this place. It's one thing to get a great price on service but their efforts to stay low budget makes me question the safety and "healthiness" of the place. IF you want quick, affordable, no frills service and the idea of dirty / used tools doesn't bother you then this is the place for you. I'd rather pay a bit more or deal with the nagging up-selling to insure the place is clean. read more

$10.00 Mani, $15.00 Pedi $24.00 Mani-Pedi Combo Loany was FAST. I was in & out in 20 minutes. I skipped the massage since I was on my to a wedding in SBA. Definitely stop by this place if you need a quick mani/pedi & you're stuck on the 101. Don't come here if you're expecting a SPA experience. It's very basic, clean & fast. read more

This place is great! I went here with my cousin after a couple of hours of shopping for a Vegas trip. They're very attentive to any walk-ins, even when busy with a customer. They have a pretty big color selection for nails. I got a pedicure, which was $15! Their version of a pediure consists of a blue plastic tub that comes to you filled with hot water. The chair you sit in is really comfortable. They didn't mind the nail polish I already had on, but I always feel bad that they have to do a little extra work. They're not like other places I've been to where they use new tools that are straight out of the wrapping but this place looked clean (tools also). They gave me a ten minute massage which was quite nice since I walk around a lot. I highly recommend this place! My cousin is gonna go back within the next week to get her eyebrows threaded for $5. read more

I'm on a budget so I came here because a manicure and pedicure is only 24. Not bad at all. I came at around 4p and there were lot if people. It seems that the store has a lot of regulars. The phones were ringing off the hook to make appointments so I'm thinking it's a popular place. The shop is clean. No frills. No fancy spa pedicure chairs. I don't mind though because the service and quality was still great. I didn't get the name of the woman doing my nails but she did an excellent job. I'm not too picky about my nails though. So if you're looking for a reasonably priced mani/pedi. Come here! Heads up it's cash only. :) read more

This is a review from exactly one week of getting a gel manicure and pedicure . Let me say firstly , they don't even have the seats where you sit and get a pedicure they bring a tub to soak your feet . Anyways it's so old school supper raggedy in there . Staff is nice hands down make you feel comfortable . After one week only 5/10 nails made it and did I mention they are GEL!!! They charge the same as any new salon that has higher tech and way more clean . I was disappointed that my money went to the trash . My bails chip the next day after my manicure was done . read more

I have been coming here for a few years now and I can honestly say that they are the best! Everyone is so friendly and greets you by name. Their prices are the cheapest in town-$26 for a mani AND pedi so friends please tip well! They do only accept cash or check so make sure you have one of those. Because of how wonderful Century Nails are, make an appointment or call ahead. They are very accommodating and will try and fit you in. I went yesterday to get a mani pedi for my trip and found out they also do threading for $5! As always they did a fabulous job, went above and beyond, and have a loyal customer:) read more

First off, I loved loved loved Kim and Lana! This was my first time to the shop as I recently just moved to Ventura. I received an awesome pedicure for just $16 and the gals were so friendly and nice. The foot and leg massage were amazing and they both had a great sense of humor. The place is comfortable and the prices are great. I will always be a loyal customer here for now on read more

I've been a fan for over ten years. Andy and Lily, the owners, are extremely conscientious, sweet, hard-working and professional. It's a no-frills shop that provides an excellent value. A french pedi from Lily will last 6 weeks. I've made many an appointment just for her foot and leg massage. There' no up-selling and they're not "chatty". read more

I have been going to see Lily here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. It is one of those salons where they remember every single person that comes to the door and are kind and welcoming to absolutely everyone. It is a no frills or thrills salon but they take their time and never try to upsell you like the majority of the nail salons in town do. I highly recommend this if you just want to get your nails done by an amazingly friendly staff and don't need to have your chair massage going. Love them!! read more

Price is great for what you get Staff is friendly And I love to get threaded by Lana She is a true artist at work, calling for an appt is always best so if your in the area stop in for an appt! read more

First time here. My mani and pedi came out really nice! I did have to wait about 30 minutes so next time I will call and make an appointment before going in. I was very relaxed and they took their time with me :) read more

Century Nails - 29 days later. Wow! - Nail Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

Super late review but whatevs. I had high Hope's for this place merely because it was in range of my new spot. I called to clarify payment.. Cash only.. No problem.. I arrived like 15 minutes later.. There were 2 ladies working and one guest waiting. The lady closest to me asked me what I needed.. "Gel mani" .. She had the audacity to say "we don't have gel"... Uuhh.. ExQueese me?! You're literally doing gel right now... (that last part I thought in my head). So, I decided to take my money elsewhere... This place is an ABSOLUTE no for me.. Do better Century Nails.. read more

Call and make a reservation this place is great. It's not fancy inside but they do a fantastic job and pay attention to quality. Your nails will look great. I get the gel mani and it was only 25$ and lasted two weeks- through washing dishes, bathing kids, cleaning.... My French Pedi looks great too. The ladies that work here are very nice and I've had two of the technicians work on my nails and both have done fantastic jobs. read more

Everyone here is very nice. I am always greeted by everyone and treated really good. Highly recommend this place, I love it.

First time here, but am in love, staff is so friendly. My nails were done by Lily, she took her time and did my nails perfectly, every step she would ask me to look if I like it or anything needed to be changed. I didn't have cash on me, she completed my nails and then only let me go out and get cash from ATM, next door, that ATM was not working, she was ok with me leaving to get cash, so much trust for a new customer. I will be coming back for sure. read more

i called and asked to come in for a full acrylic set today and she told me they don't have it and that's she's sorry?? what does that even mean, this is a nail salon haha are you trying to tell me you ran out of supplies? i never get my nails done cause it's always dysfunctional and they proved my point. read more

Great customer service!! I wouldn't go anywhere else to manage my manicure and pedicure!! They always make me feel at home!

First, I must totally give credit and agreement with Boky S. - thank you everyone who let me know that it was cash-only! But, if you forget, there is a liquor store two doors down to serve your needs! Andy and Lily are terrific, and go way above-and-beyond for their customers! I've had nothing but personal, friendly service every time I go, and that individual touch is very nice! The prices certainly can't be beat either! They do take walk-ins as they can, but I would really suggest making an appointment! read more

This place was okay, kinda weird they didn't have normal pedicure chairs. You sat in a regular chair you get your nails done in then they sit on a little stool in front of you. Not uncomfortable though. Friendly employees. Not alot of variety with nail polish, I suggest bringing your own. read more
