She is…read moresuper knowledgeable when it comes to products and is enthusiastic about explaining ingredients and the latest research on all things nails. For the booked and busy working girlies though, head up that she's not the type to confirm when your appointment is approaching like we're used to with beauty services, and she doesn't use any kind of automatic appointment system. This cost me $55 for a missed appointment because I'm so used to providers who either use auto systems or send manual reminders. On me, so I paid it without issues. Regardless, she's super sweet, fun to talk to, and again, the best massage I've ever had during a pedi. Also, she's a major foodie, so be sure to ask her for restaurant recommendations because she sent me to a couple amazing spots. Highly recommend Celeste, but be aware that remembering your appointment is on you.

I attempted to find this location while on a break from the hospital, but my GPS was lagging. When I called for help with directions, the person on the phone (maybe the owner idk) was incredibly dismissive. Despite their hours saying 'Open,' she told me she was on a 1.5-hour lunch break. When I tried to clarify the location, she told me she 'never had anyone have this issue' and asked if I was even from here. She eventually hung up on me.

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, coupled with unacceptable quality of work. I originally booked with my regular technician, but since he was unavailable, the owner himself performed my service instead. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. Throughout the appointment, the owner was ARROGANT, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for obvious mistakes. Every concern I raised was met with an excuse. When I pointed out that my nails were not filed straight, I was told it was because my nails do not grow straight. When the polish was applied unevenly, I was told it was due to my nail texture. When I mentioned that the polish appeared old and sticky, he became defensive, even though he had just ADDED THINNER to the bottle in front of me, and ultimately transferred me to another technician rather than addressing the issue professionally. The photos clearly show bubbles and an uneven finish. These are application issues, not the result of my nail texture. As a paying customer, I should not have to argue over obvious quality concerns or be blamed for substandard work. After this experience, the other negative reviews make perfect sense. If this is how the owner treats long-time customers and handles legitimate feedback, I cannot recommend this salon. There are far better places that value their customers and stand behind the quality of their work.

Nails after less than 24 hours. Plus I did not housework or anything with my hands that would have caused this amount of chipping!

The clippers looked like they came from a murder scene, and the nail tech hacked away at my nails and cuticles like they had personally offended her. The tools were disgusting, one was held together with duct tape, and she grabbed a file from another customer's station and used it on me. The "massage" was basically a lotion accident she had to clean up afterward. I canceled the pedicure because I had already suffered enough. While I was waiting, another customer got her eyebrows done and walked out looking like she lost a fight with a weed whacker -- furious, in pain, and trying to figure out what the F*€k just happened. Dirty shop, terrible work, zero hygiene. If you're looking for a relaxing manicure, run. If you're looking for a story to tell your friends, this place delivers.

Best nail salon ever! Sarah is absolutely amazing every time! Always professional and funny as hell! I have tried many other nail salons and always felt like the nails were just ok, not here! Every time is on point. It is by far the cleanest nail salon I have ever stepped in. I will never go anywhere else, Sarah is my girl! All the ladies that work there go above and beyond to make sure their clients are satisfied. The amount of detail that goes into some of their artwork is incredible! I read another review that was complaining about Sarah and Connie and couldn't help but laugh, this reviewer is way off, everyone that goes to Embellish knows that there has to be some missing information from this ladies review. There is no way Connie or Sarah would not be understanding of a complaint about the business and do everything they could to try and please their client. Really doesn't sound like "Im a real nice lady, with a LOT OF PATIENCE" sounds like entitlement and a load of BS...just sayin ‍ read more

Don't go. First manicure with owner Connie was great. Second time with Sarah, was good. Third appointment with Sarah was a NIGHTMARE. Im a real nice lady, with a LOT OF PATIENCE, BUT I WILL NEVER GO BACK. CONNIE will not take customer complaints seriously, which is just sad. Sarah botched my appt.by writing down the wrong service, kept blaming me for it, and wouldn't own up. Wouldnt put glitter on my nails because she "didnt want to be late for an appt. she had made!!! Trying to punish me for her blatant mistake. OMG. I Just wanted an apology from the owner, but didn't happen. I am reversing my credit card charges immediately. All I wanted was an acknowlegment of employees rude behavior...not my money back. Because of owner's uncaring response I will get my money back and WARN GRASS VALLEY LADIES TO AVOID THIS PLACE read more

I originally chose to try Embellish Nail Salon because of the good reviews on yelp.The first time I walked through the door I found it a warm welcoming very professional very clean nail salon. I've been seeing Sarah for about eight months. My nails have never looked so good. I constantly get compliments from complete strangers while I'm out and about. She is so creative my nails never look the same. Sarah is very professional very creative and just a wonderful person to be around. I would advise anyone to give Sarah or any of the nail techs at embellish nail salon a try. They are all very professional very creative very warm and welcoming To all that enter their shop. read more

I have been going to this Nail Salon for several years. Started seeing Mary at another shop about 4 and a half years ago and followed her here. The staff are very professional, but more than that, the atmosphere there makes you feel at home and very welcome. I just love my nails and look forward to my appointments with Mary. I almost feel like I'm part of her family now. I have gotten to venture out of my regular boring nails to a few bolder looks for me and love it!!

Been going to see Sarah for over two years now, and I am so happy every time!!! All the girls here are happy and devoted to ensuring the customer gets what they want. I started coming to embellish because I wanted more modern nail art, and Sarah totally delivered! Between building any shape you want, having any color combination you could imagine, and being fully prepared with gems, pigments, stamps, or even hand drawn designs, there's never been a single idea Sarah couldn't pull off like a boss. read more

Beautiful fun salon! Getting my nails done is not my thing but a friend treated me and it was pleasant surprise. The ladies are so fun and everyone is welcoming. Connie did my nails and I have nothing but good things to say about her! She seemed like she *wanted* to do my nails, which of course is important to me. They do amazing creative nail art but Even just the natural nail care is such a treat. Clean salon, fun colors and decor, and refreshing conversation. The only place I would go! read more

I have been going to Renée for many months. She has a ton of glitter selections, colors and stencils. They are up-to-date on all of the most modern techniques and styles. I love that I can get in there and she can do a full set of gel nails, including a gel hardner in less than an hour. Unlike some of the other local walk in salons, they have all sanitary products, and use brand new files, and gve it to you when they are finished. I feel safer here. read more
