    My favorite place to go for nails! If you have problem with ingrown toe nails they will help! I used to have a lot of problems but since I've gone here I have no more pain in my toes :) such kind owners who work so hard

    My Halloween nails!
    Sabina P.

    I was recommended this nail salon by a friend for my wedding and I am so glad I went here! I got so many compliments on them and the shop itself is clean and the employees are so friendly! I had to go back and get my nails done for Halloween and they came out great too! I will be making this my regular nail spot.

    First time here. Excited for my long overdue pedicure.

    I called the day of to check availability and was able to be accommodated an hour later. Upon arrival I was greeted and sat promptly. It was my first time here so I didn't really know what to expect. I always get gel pedicure's so it started with them filing and wrapping my toes. I was not given any options for what kind of pedicure I wanted, which I didn't think was weird until someone showed up after me and was given options and a whole box of different scents for their pedicure. When it came time for my nails and cuticles to be cut I noticed that the side table that they use to hold their supplies already had materials on top that appeared to be used. Most shops I've been to open up a new pack in front of you. What added further distaste in this shop for me was when it came time for my massage they used an exfoliating scrub on my legs that was prepackaged in small plastic containers that was very CLEARLY already used (see photo). It was sitting on the side table with the opened tools from the second I sat down. Unfortunately, my pedicure felt very rushed and I did not get the same service as the person that came in after me. I do not feel like this place is very sanitary nor consistent among customers and I will not be coming back.

    Elegant nails always does an amazing job. Trusted them with my wedding nails and they delivered exactly as the inspiration picture I showed them. This was a light pink color with chrome. Call and make an appointment, they usually can fit you in. Affordable acrylics on the monterey coast and they do a great job

    This was my 2nd visit to this location. I've had to come here on the occasion my normal nail techs are unavailable. Both times I have walked away satisfied with the nails and the husband and wife duo are pretty nice. My one less than positive remark would be the cleanliness. It's not screaming you'll walk away with an infection, but, the level of cleanliness does leave a lot to be desired. If I needed to, I'd certainly return as she really did do a great job with my nails.

    I am not usually one to get my nails done but I gave this place a chance since all the nail designs looked very impressive and I was not disappointed. I ended up getting a gel pedicure by Hong. He was very helpful - I have a history of ingrown toe nails and he was basically explained what he saw and how to avoid them. I got this full acrylic set done by Mai (pronounced My) and she was very nice and detail oriented. When I mentioned parts of my nail were hurting for whatever reason in reaction to the glue, she would look to see what the issue was etc, she was patient as I tried to figure out what length would work for me etc. I appreciate the patience and checking in to see what I thought. It's a day later and the nails feel up to par and long lasting.

    I still come here, I've become more of a regular here in the last year. I get a gel manicure and it lasts me 2-3 weeks. I go back for fills every 2 weeks because my nails grown out so quickly. I usually don't get designs, just color and sometimes glitter. They do an amazing job here. They recently installed new massage chairs for the pedicure station. Friendly service, fast, walkins okay but best to call ahead!

    Updated.. Mai has done it again and this time for my wedding! I can always count on her. Thank you Mai!

    I've been coming here for years, and Huang, Mai, and Thuey (sorry if I misspelled any names) always make me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Today I called to see if they had time for what I needed, and offered to come in the next day. They had availability and got me in today. Definitley call to see if they have availability versus just popping in I got a subtle festive nail design, and I love it! I came in with a 5 week full set of acrylics on my hands that had to come off. Mai took the acrylic color off to see if I could just have a fill, they were not. So I got a full set! Thuey did the holly design & glitter - very happy with the results! Hoang helped with my gel pedicure - took off gel polish on my toes, and gave me a great cleanup and polish! I definitley recommend this team, and have made my friends come with me many times hah.

    Nice clean cozy place. Make sure to make an appointment due to covid. Pedicures range from $30-$45 depending on the service provided. Standard mani is $20 & up.

    I absolutely fell in love with this place. The service was amazing. The reference picture I used is exactly how my nails came out. They take their time and ask how you're liking your nails to ensure you're getting the outcome you want. Very peaceful inside as well. Highly recommend! :)

    My nails came out absolutely perfect!!! The color, the shape, everything is even better than what I had in mind.

    Good quality manicure and pedicure! Love the time they take. On the high side price-wise, but love the way they last.

    How much is an acrylic fill with gel polish and a tapered square shape cost?

    I don't remember exactly but it was between $40 and $50. I had broken nails too so my cost was probably more. The prices are not the cheapest but they do a great job. Ask for the owner or manager who was a man. He gives the best foot massage EVER!

    How much do acrylic nails cost at this place?

    Full set is 30-40$

    How much would acrylic burgundy coffin nails cost?

    Around 40 if its gel

    This is an overdue review for my experience back years ago when I had lived in Monterey & worked…read moreover at Ryan Ranch. This is one of my favorite nail spots to date! I've come back a few times since visiting the area and love the quality, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff! I've been to several spots in the Monterey county area this salon was the best by far!

    I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done…read moretoday for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me. Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view. As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music. They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.
