Colored French tip from Thursday 9/24. Thickness of lines and color are different .

I've been coming to this location for a couple years. I've always been happy with the work and the people. They were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was relaxing. However.. the last few months I've not been please with the level of service that I pay for. What started the decline was a couple months ago, I received a pedicure from Lina.. she's horrible. I've attached a picture of my first pedicure from her. All she did was cut my toe nails, buff my feet and paint them. She didn't trim the skin like most places or others in that location have done, didn't clean up the cuticle, nails uneven, just horrible. Normally I would sweep under the rug and move on. I didn't. A day or so later called and spoke to manager, explained situation and told her I don't want her to do my pedicures anymore. She was nice, said she understood and I told her I would be scheduling again and asked for Mao, she does an amazing job. Went back got a pedi from Mao, all good! Fast forward to last Thursday and I had an appointment for a pedi and mani. I asked for mao, she had an appointment, understood. Asked for anyone else that was the level of Mao, I got Lina again! I was instantly annoyed, it was an15 minute pedi that wasn't relaxing at all. I had to remind her about trimming the skin around toe for the clean up, she asked someone else what I was saying, it was very rushed, not relaxing and my toes came out eh! I had also requested Nathan for my mani cause he had done a wonderful job a couple weeks before and they last 2.5 weeks. I don't get him, again I had an appointment, I ended up with someone else, work quality eh. I asked for a color French tip. All the lines and tips are different, some are supper thin while others are thicker. See picture. It seems that making an appointment doesn't matter cause you're gonna end up with whoever is doing nothing g but watching g tv on their phone, super loud! Just all around disappointing service lately.

Terrible fill.... Yuck
Jamie G.

Completely chopped all my nails off during a fill... charge $50 and when I told them I didn't like it and I wasn't happy with it. They told me I should've told them a long time ago and that they would have built off of the nails that they had already chopped off considering they were about 1/ quarter to a half an inch longer before he started going crazy and chopping all the nails down. The lady at the front was so extremely rude when I told her I didn't have another hour or time for them to fix them. They offered 15% off next visit. Save your money and go somewhere else. The arguing alone by the woman in the front left counter was ridiculous. Definitely do not come here. Paint is terrible and they are as inconsistent as nails could ever get. Please... go somewhere else... Update: building off the nail would compromise the integrity of the nail. Soaking and redoing the nail while I'm in there (with my kids on our only day off) wasn't really an option. It was an okay length, slightly shorter than I'd like, but it was workable and as time went on they got shorter and shorter until they became nubbs shorter than even my original nails... The original set with the same guy, was $55 with two nail designs and then $50 to fill, which is whatever, just seemed a bit pricey for what I got, especially since it was such a disappointment, I didn't feel like you were rude... you were VERY rude, you challenged everything I said, didn't listen and when I explained the value of my time you disregarded that as well... then the guy said he would discount it and then ran the card, then said oh no for next time... what a joke

Beautiful facility

So happy to be back for the third time! This fine establishment is such a great gem in Modesto. I never leave disappointed, as they are professional, friendly, and the facilities are very clean. They have a lot of great options in terms of colors, services, and price is very reasonable. My go to people are Ty and Lan. They are so quick, precise and gentle. I recommend everyone I know to stop by to get some special pampering from the team here.

My husband and I got a pedicure here just 5 hours ago and my toes already look like this. We paid $45 for each for their best pedicure with the extra 5 minutes of massage. We did not receive the extra 5 minutes of massaging. We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Shortest pedicure of my life. How long is the basic pedicure? 5 minutes? We paid $120 total for the pedis plus tip and feel ripped off. When are places like this going to stop ripping people off and just provide the service people pay for AND do a good job??? We will never be back!

Diana did my dip nails today on my natural nail and I am in love! In my growing my own nail out era, and this is the start of it. Thank you, Diana!

These nails are less than a week old and are already lifting and so grown out. She did no nail/cuticle prep so that's probably the reason why. On one of the clear nails she accidentally put white acrylic then just scraped it off so the nail has leftover white under the clear acrylic. my pedicure was cut so short it hurts and I now have an ingrown nail. Won't be returning such a waste of money.

Went in to have acrylics removed he just started ripping the nails off. I'm sorry if I am paying $15 for nail removal when most other places are only $5 there should be some prep to not create more damage to the nail. Instead I leave with two bloody nails. Definitely don't recommend this place.

As suspected... my nails were destroyed. 30 minutes into work and ine has snapped 2 places, well into the quick area. It's going to be painful to fix before it rips the rest of my nail off. Hi Diane I have been in and out of acrylics for over 30 years. I am well aware that thinning occurs. Even when I have gel polish placed on, they have been sturdier. You guys basically charged 45$ to paint my nails as the "manicure" was not a manicure. I would prefer a refund without having to contact the bank. The polish came off the same day. If I had bad service why would I want to come back for more poor service. Besides its kind of hard to paint the quick of a nail. Thin is one thing... it's beyond thin on top of the odd shape.

What I booked through their website, but they ask you when you get there anyway what you want...

I'm pretty bummed out. I've been here about 3-4 other times before my experience yesterday and they've all been fairly great. I think it's cool you have a stamp card thing that you can collect for each visit, the staff is nice enough, their place of business is really pretty. I've booked with Mai every single time because she's who I got the first time I ever came and I liked her work. So yesterday or technically the day before I booked online a "basic pedicure with gel" (picture attached of my booking) and it says that on their website it's for $45. I've had it the first time I came here too - about a month or so ago. So they do their thing, the pedicure comes out nice enough and at the end when they go to charge me, they say it's $60 and I'm like whaaat I thought I said the $45?? Because they don't even go off what you booked online, they'll just ask you when you get there anyway and when I got there I said "$45 with gel" butttt she tells me nooo I picked the $45 with gel so it was $60... I'm thinking wtf was the extra $15 for? Some extra lotions and rubbing? It felt so regular and nothing out of the norm, I thought I was getting the basic gel pedicure like I had said. I dunno I just feel so gipped just because you go in there thinking you'll pay a certain amount and it ends up coming out different. I paid for my friend too, and still tipped $20 so the total was like $110... I don't know if they literally just recently updated their menu prices or what. The update would have had to happen within the last couple weeks because I've only been coming here for about a month or so in total. Anyway, it sort of has discouraged me from coming back or maybe I just need to try some other places out first. It is what it is, maybe just miscommunication this time around ‍ pedicure and services were still great just doesn't feel $60 worth by any means. I think if I go again I'll just make sure to show them the picture of my booking.

Beautiful nail salon! Love the vibe, cleanliness, and professionalism. Came with a couple family members. The manicurists were very friendly and did a great job with our mani/pedicures. We enjoyed our time here very much and will be back again!

Full set + gel polish (#727 DND Pixie) $45

1. I love that you can book your appointment online. 2. Diana does a thorough job She takes her time to make sure the shape and apex of your acrylics are good before continuing to the next nail. I asked her to clean up my cuticle a bit (which is now already grown out lol) and she obliged. 3. They were also able to squeeze me in for a gel pedi after my nails were done. 4. Very nice staff. No rude gossiping about clients in another language.

if you only want ONE SINGLE color on your nails they may not SUCK that bad. I PAYED $100 for a HORRIBLE JOB (nails and pedi) I asked for an specific design (showed them the picture) i first wanted acrylic on my own nail and make it bigger from there NOT ADDING THE ACTUAL FAKE NAIL, the guy said "it's too small i can't." i said i have had it done before. he said well idk how so we agreed on putting the actual fake nail RECEIVED THIS horrible paint nails, horrible JOB. the nails are not well glued, he hurt me at least 3 times... horrible EXPENSIVE NAILS PLACE save yourself and your money please

Basic Manicure done by Mai
Mikaila T.

Very soothing and relaxing experience! My mom and I decided to try somewhere new to get our nails done at, and I found this place on Yelp. Initially, we had come in after booking appointments on their website, so when we came in, we found it kind of odd that we were treated as a walk-in when I specified that we had appointments. But we were served immediately. I had Alyssa do my pedicure and Mai do my manicure. Both were good and diligent at what they did. I found Mai to be super thorough with my finger nails, which I appreciated her taking the extra time and effort to correct mistakes in my nails. I would go with her again. On the other hand, my mom had her manicure done by another woman (didn't catch her name). She noticed that there was an inconsistency with the manicure process between the other lady and Mai: Mai would massage your hands, have you wash your hands in the sink and wipe down your hands and arms with a warm damp towel while the other lady didn't. The atmosphere and the music were very soothing and made the experience key to the service. One thing I would consider if you decide to get your nails done here is that if you want more of a social experience then I would go else where. There wasn't any real social interaction with the nail stylists, which if you don't mind that then by all means, come here! Just FYI for those who may enjoy a more social experience. In conclusion, I think that this place is a nice little spot that'll give you a relaxing experience. I believe they are a newer business, so there will be room for improvement. But I enjoyed the experience nonetheless! Here are my points for improvement: * Consistency in procedure with nail techs providing services * More interaction with the client (if that is what a client may want) * Clearer distinction of booking appointments online versus walk-ins I hope this helps!

Hi! how much would an acrylic set w french tips be? thank you ❤️

Hi, we start from $45 and up, it depends on the length and the shape. Thank you

What's the young man's name, he's kinda tall? He did my nails about a week or so ago and I would like him to do them again when I come back.

Hi Amanda, I believe his name is Lee, and he only works on every Monday and Sunday. Thank you and if you have any questions please let me know

Iris is amazing and always helps me color match. Fast service with great quality. Won't regret it…read morexoxo

Phenomenal! I won't ever drift again LOL. I had gone to a couple other places around town that…read moreshe'll remain nameless. They do not compare to the service and quality at the Venetian. Checking was easy and prompt, I had made an appointment earlier in the day... I would like to get to where I have a regular person here for my services, and I may have found them today! I tend to like to just relax when I'm getting my nails done, no offense but I don't like to chat and have that whole conversation thing. So I got two technicians today that were perfect! First was Will, I got a pedicure with regular paint. Very gentle kept checking to make sure all was well gave a really good massage very thorough painted my nails beautifully. I would like to figure out how to have a little longer soak in a little hotter water, so I need to figure out what to ask for to make that happen but other than that it was perfect. Then I got builder gel with very short tips for the first time, with Terry. They couldn't be any more perfect than they came out! Exactly what I wanted. I was going to say no polish on the top but he showed me a clear tiny bit tinted top and I agreed. I want to go out my real nails, and this will get me on my way. I like that I could relax and let them do what they do so well, without having to make small talk.. outside of checking in to make sure I'm okay and that what they were doing was good. I appreciated the relaxing me time. I will be back in 3 to 4 weeks. And I'm going to look for Will and Terry for sure! Thank you for the excellent service beautiful clean salon, very welcoming.

I was recommended Amy at Mimi's nails from 2 of my coworkers, I had an appointment at 10:30 and…read morethey were very prompt on getting me seated and in the chair ready for my pedicure! They had an excellent choice of colors, but ultimately I chose a classic gel french pedicure. Amy got me started in the bowl and gave me a menu of their services with prices listed clearly, I chose the Deluxe Spa Pedicure for $50, it included scrub, massage, hot rocks, and warm towels. Honestly this pedicure was so relaxing and I highly recommend getting the Deluxe as an extra little treat for less than $20 more than the basic spa pedicure!! Amy had amazing attention to detail and would ask me periodically if I liked the nail shape, or french design etc. She did an amazing job and having tried many salons in Modesto including some chains, I can confidently say this is the best pedicure I've had in a very long time! People don't give attention to detail anymore, but Amy was fantastic and took her time, and still had me out in under an hr! They were upfront in their pricing and in total I paid $72 for the Deluxe Pedicure, Gel polish, French Nail art. They do accept card as payment, but only accept tips in cash and don't have an ATM so be aware of that. I highly recommend Mimi's Nails and especially Amy for pedicures. I will now have fabulous nails for my vacation!

I came in for a manicure and pedicure and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience…read more While I was getting my toes done, a technician came over to begin removing my old acrylic nails. Without warning, he started clipping them off and then used an old artificial nail to pry the remaining acrylic from my natural nail. I was looking down at my phone when I suddenly felt intense pain. When I looked up, my natural nail had been cut open and was bleeding. The technician asked if I was scared. I told him, "No, I'm not scared, I'm in pain." I also explained that this was not the proper way to remove acrylic nails. Instead of stopping, he attempted to continue. At that point, I told him not to touch my nails and that they needed to be soaked off properly. As a licensed cosmetologist and salon owner, I understand professional sanitation and safety procedures. The way my nails were being removed was unacceptable and resulted in an injury. Another staff member eventually took over, but what disappointed me most was that no one apologized for hurting me or acknowledged what had happened. Accidents can happen, but professionalism, concern for the client, and accountability matter. Unfortunately, I did not receive any of those things during my visit.
