Unfortunately they have raised there prices but didn't raise the service expectation. I usually go here and it's hit or miss whether I get a great pedi or mani. Probably more good than bad. This time to my surprise they raised each service about $9. Nothing extra, nothing special just a average pedi. I can't even say my massage was good. It was more like rubbing my lotion in. Disappointed "In response to their comment" This is my opinion and yes the prices were raised considerably, not $1, and your $22 dollar pedi is basically a polish. Whom ever reads this is entitled to see for themselves but I stand on my review. read more

Darling Nails - gentle and most peaceful/relaxing place i've been to, and they did such a good job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I can't believe I found the best nail salon in town! So fast, sweet and caring. Perfect manicure and pedicure! I mean perfect and I'm picky! I get gels and like the perfect pink on my nails. My nails were torn and beat up from my job and they not only made them look beautiful they fixed them so they wouldn't rip and tear more! Go to this salon! promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Horrible. I was not impressed with the cleanliness of the salon. The staff who were there we unfriendly. The quality of my pedicure was horrible. My calluses wee not properly addressed and within 2 days were cracking and painful. I have no plans to return. read more

BEST place in northwest Bakersfield. Ask for Tiffany. I've been going to her for over 6 years. I will only use her for my Pedi!

After being turned away from 2 salons because I didnt have am appointment, Vincent at Darling Nails welcomed me into Darling Nails. I showed him a picture of the nails I wanted from Pinterest and he helped me pick out the colors to match. He did an amazing job on my fills. I definitely will be back!! read more

Got there first thing on a Saturday morning. I was the 2nd person there and there was only 1 nail technician. I had to wait 15-20 minutes for the 2nd nail technician to arrive. They were friendly and nice. Prices are not bad, but service isn't the greater either. You get what you pay for. read more

TERRIBLE. My nails look like my 9 year old son painted them. Gels and they are already cracking, look like they've grown out for a week, were painted last night. The top coat on my toes doesn't even cover my polish. The "massage" felt like a feather tickle. Worst service ever! Highly disappointed. read more

Darling Nails - These were done last night. TERRIBLE! My 9 year old son could do a better job than this. waste of money. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I typically love Darling Nails for pedicures. I drive from the NE to this salon. My complaint today is that my pedicures started from $21 to $29 to $31 and now to my surprise $35 without notice. Surprise at the register. And my pedicure was done fast and just ok. Unfortunately I will not be going back. The staff is very friendly, but the experience is not enough for this price. read more

I haven't gone for a pedi in over a year! (I know bad me) But I am so happy with my pedi. They used disposable foot scrubber/pumice rock. Which is a must! They were also very friendly and clean. read more

Came in on a Sunday as a Walk in. It was very busy but they were able to get me to a manicurist within 5 minutes. I asked for long, coffin pink & white ombré and that's exactly what I got! Andy took care of me and he did a great job, he also was very sweet and great conversation. Definitely will go to him from now on! read more

I absolutely love this place!!!! I have never been disappointed with the outcome of my nails. Everyone's super nice and sweet and try to make you feel welcomed. I went to another nail salon (I wont mention names) and my nails came out horrible. I drove to darling nails right after and i believe she is the owner fixed the shape the thickness and redid the color within I want to say 35 minutes. Darling nails is definitely one of the best nail salons in Bakersfield! read more

Impressed again!! I haven't been in a while but Don did a wonderful job on my nails and was more than happy to do the design I showed him off of my phone. He was friendly and very precise in his work. He asked me to double check his work and let him know if anything needed fixing before he painted my nails (I got a fresh full set). They're perfect and I'm so glad I came back after an awful experience elsewhere! I should've never went anywhere else! Love Darling Nails and their super efficient kind staff! read more

Darling Nails - So in love with my fun Christmas nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Wish I was able to give 0 stars. I got a gel pedicure, asked for neon yellow. At the end, I got orange. Worst place ever. Never ever going back. Please don't ask for a neon yellow unless you want orange nails. read more

This place is awesome. Nail places seem to be the same where ever you go, but the ladies here are really sweet and they do such a good and careful job. Pedicure, foot and leg scrub, callus treatment, leg mask with hot towels, and the most wonderful 10 minute massage for 37$!!!! I have no complaints, still floating on foot massage bliss! read more

Usually I go to a place down the street for pedicures but their quality seemed to be going downhill so after reading the reviews I thought I would try this place. I walked in and the manicurist in the front asked what I wanted barely looking up from the customer. After saying I just needed a pedicure, she told me they were too busy and to come back later. I have never been treated so rudely at a nail salon. There were only four customers in the salon at the time, I was stunned! Needless to say, I will never be back!!! read more

Very disappointed! Never had such a bad experience at a nail salon. Me and my friend who lives in Bakersfield went here because it was close to her house and even though she didn't have the greatest experience before we thought we would give them another shot... Bad idea! We walk in get seated right away. Then the lady starts doing my nails (full set) she is going insanely fast. There was no one waiting at the moment yet she was speeding through it. I hadn't picked my color yet and when it came time she was rushing me and then upset I didn't want gel nails and laughed and mocked me to her co-worker in English. Saying wow she is isn't getting gels then she said I needed to pay before hand. She said it was because my nails would be wet.. Okay take my card and wait to charge it until the end. She didn't do This to anyone else and I was forced to add the tip before the service was over which was ridiculous. I do have to say she got much nicer when I left a 5 buck tip. Then she goes to paint and when she adds the top coat to on of my nails she completely misses a part and I ask her to fix it and she said you need to be more careful. Excuse me! I didn't even move you missed it. The she doesn't even paint my whole nail and by this point I'm just so annoyed I don't even want to argue with her. My friend was still finishing as she got pedi and mani and more people come in and oh no then they just rush her through. This was not relaxing at all and my nails looked horrible. The edges looked like I had already had them on a week. The only saving grace is I loved the color I chose. I don't understand how this place has any good reviews as were were treated so Rudely and out nails looked like crap. Never will either of us return here. I ended up going back to a nail salon here in Valencia to get them fixed and they couldn't believe I just got them done two days ago. read more

First time here and it was amazing. Did the $30 pedicure and it was 1.5 hours of foot fantasy. Leg scrub, hot stone massage, hot towel, lots of massage and the toes look great! read more

I really admire this place. Their facility is clean and their service is very enjoyable. They women are good at what they do and surprisingly the men are to. They all treat their customers with a smile. The only problem is that I find it a bit rude when the women are doing my nails and then talk in viatnamese and then giggle. It seems rude. read more

We went to Darling Nails today! They have such a friendly atmosphere. Such lovely owners; made us feel very welcome. Tony did one of the best pedicures I've ever had, as well as Vivian; she did an awesome job on my nails! read more

Darling Nails - Vivian did an amazing job on my nails today! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

The ladies I had tonight did an amazing job tackling my less than ideal cuticles. I went in and had a full set with gelish polish put on my hands and a spa pedicure with artwork. Both came out amazing! While I was there I asked to get my eyebrows waxed and she really took the time to figure out what shape would be flattering on me. There was NO pressure to up sale on anything and they were very kind. We sat and talked about my upcoming wedding and they helped me find shades of polish that would fit the occasion. I will be back in two weeks for a fill. read more

I think I found my new nail spot! Took the time to perfect the shape! Didn't rush and love the color selection ! :))

I love this place! I moved to another state and I look forward to this salon every time I come back to Bakersfield. If I don't go to this one, I go to one of their other salons. Stacy and Paul have been my favorites for as long as I can remember! Stacy was the first one to do my brows when I was like 10 at the old Top Nails on olive... 13 years later, I still trust her over anyone else. read more

we Will never go back my Na up lady was so rude I was embarrassed for her not to mention I was charged way to much and neither me or my friend got anything close to what we specifically asked for. read more

Love this place ... Pearl and the rest of the crew always take good care of me and my sweetie. Reasonable prices, fast, quality, and friendly service. Highly recommend this business! read more

After cutting my toes 3 to 4 different times to remove my previous gel, they then charged me for it. Which most places don't charge. They did not take time on my feet he was on a rush. I will never go back. read more

I have been coming to Darling nails for the last two and a half years and Pearl is the best she does a beautiful job on my gel manicures and pedicures. I look forward to my relaxing time getting my nails done if I'm tired I take a nap if not Pearl is a great person to talk with. read more

Wow, what a surprise! I love this nail salon! They are very professional and everything is extremely clean. I highly recommend Pearl and Tammy. They are a dynamic duo! This is a must try, make your appointment or walk in today. read more

I've had bad experiences with the Model Nails, but I tried coming in here again after the new owner changed the business name to Darling Nails. I don't regret it! Everyone is very considerate and friendly. I could tell that the girl doing my toes didn't speak English well, but I still appreciate that she attempted to make convo with me. The end result did not disappoint! I tried out the Royal Pedicure, and it was the most relaxing one I've had in years. My full set also came out beautifully! read more

What a gem! This is a very professional and clean nail salon. I recommend Stacy and Tiffany. Don't miss this one!

I have been coming to have my gel manicure & Pedicure for 2 1/2 years. I love Pearl , she takes time to do a beautiful job & the nails last longer than other places I have go to in the past. I truly relax while having Pearl do my nails. read more

I went in for the first time today and it was pretty good ! I was serviced by the guy that works there (didn't catch his name) and after every thing he did he checked in with me to see if I liked it so far. My mother is a retired nail tech so everything he did was correct. He was very careful with being clean to the point where if he had to cough he'd walk all the way to the back and cough there just to go the extra mile and make sure he didn't get me sick too which I appreciated :). He got out new equipment for me and all the basics, but he did my stilettos with scissors which I've never seen that done before but it worked so I'm not complaining. He inspected my nails for mistakes after every new thing he did. If he made a mistake he would immediately fix it. The only con i see with this place is that he didn't talk much but I didn't mind because I'm shy. But when we did converse he was very polite and complimented me which is always nice :). I only see it bothering people that like to talk to their nail techs. A lot of people were serviced right away which was nice to see, and they all acknowledged a new customer when they came in. All very nice. I want to bring my mom here :) read more
