The customer service was decent. We talked about family & what I did for work. (Big mistake) I can't help but feel they took advantage of me because of my Info I shared. I went in for a fill n pedicure with polish on my feet like I ALWAYS GET everywhere I go. The man didn't listen & did gel polish: I'm too tired to argue with him at this point. However once I asked for the guy who was doing my pedicure to fix something on my pedicure he started to be rough with my ex foot. I then went to sit in the chair to get a FILL! My nails were done before hand & not super long, I have them pretty short, the tech asked me if I wanted to cut the length down, & I said yes. I got a black tip done with gel polish I get that. But she charged me 62.00! I went in for a fill & still cut my length down before she even began adding any product. When I asked why my FILL WAS SO EXPENSIVE she said because the length. I'm sorry but you cut my nails down before even adding any product. I will not be going back, I don't care how close my home is too that. I've never paid full price for a fill any where. & my nails are pretty short to begin with z read more

I'd love to give a review on the service, but didn't get that far. Walked in this afternoon. There were four employees sitting there. Not one customer in sight. Was in a rush to get one nail fixed, wasn't even given a quote on just what the base price is to fix a nail. But was told that my one nail would be an extra $12 because of the length. My nails are slightly long, but they're not XL long. No wonder why they have such horrible reviews ! Wonder how they can stay in business considering there wasn't a customer insight and the prices they were charging! read more

So unsanitary and unprofessional. She did not even know the difference between hard and soft wax nor did she wear gloves. I asked for an underarm wax. She used the same stick to dip in the wax multiple times and back onto my armpit. I really wanted to get up and run but I didn't. Took her approximately 30+ rips/strips on each arm pit. They are still raw and sore, one with a rash. I really hope I don't have an infection. read more

This place was recommended to me and I've had many pedicures here over last 5 years with mostly very positive experiences. The last time I was in They were playing Fox "News" on Tvs in the salon. I was one of 2 customers, the other on her way out paying no attention. After enduring 20 min of "The Biden Crime Family" and anti-immigrant propaganda it became clear to me that the extra I was paying for the foot and leg massage could not possibly relax me. I asked If the channel could be changed, shut off or muted and was told by staff that they could not control it. I cannot imagine why a nail salon with 100% immigrant workforce would choose to broadcast that racist s_ _ _ but do know I will find another salon with a more relaxing atmosphere. read more

If I could give a NO STAR, I would. Cut me not once, not twice but multiple times. The one who did my nails still practice the old techniques of manicure and so the results are horrible. She doesn't care about my nail health at all and the place is so unsanitary! Tools look dirty and they don't wear gloves! My nails looked so thick and crooked! Worst manicure of my life! This nail salon should be reported and closed! Gosh! They don't even know how to use their tools! Almost ripped one of my nails off! read more

Idk why this place has so many bad reviews! I came here for the first time after not being able to get an appointment at my regular nail shop- I needed to get my acrylic nails removed and a shellac mani- called Fancy nails and they had a spot for me. A guy helped me and he was soooo gentle and patient removing my acrylics and I know that can be a pain- then proceeded with a nice mani and made sure to get alllll my cuticles without me having to ask. They were sanitary, fast , and nice! I was happy with the service and will go back in 2 weeks to get a full set read more

Honestly worst manicure of my life. All I wanted was a change of gel polish on my nails. I immediately noticed as they were taking off my prior gel polish that they were scraping my natural nails causing them to lose a ton of strength and asked her to stop, as my normal tech never does this. This made her angry, and she refused to change what she was doing. Then, she proceeded to give me the most rushed and bizarre manicure. She would paint like 3 nails and let them cure, then paint them all, and then cure again. The result is extremely uneven coverage. There was dried gel all over my cuticles when she was done and the shape was so terrible I ended up spending 30 min when I got home just trying to make my nails look presentable. I'm really disappointed. Getting my nails done is my me time that I splurge for since I recently went through a difficult divorce, and instead of leaving relaxed and happy, i left frustrated and upset. I asked for my money back and was told no. I left in tears. read more

Very VERY disappointed in my service. I came in for a removal and right off the bat the lady was very rude and gave an attitude to me when I told her I would only be doing a removal and not a new set. She charged me 15$ plus 2 dollars to pay with my card, So a total of 17$ for a removal that wasn't even complete. She burned/ cut me multiple times with the tool she was using to file the fake nails down. I told her that was she was hurting me multiple times and she still continued working on the same nail with the same tool. I still have three nails that are left with acrylic on them because she wasn't able to properly remove them and get all of the product off. The other nails which she did manage to completely remove still have left over color from my set. I am left with uneven nails. left over color, and stinging nail beds from her work. I am glad this was only a removal and am very happy i didn't decide to waste my money on a full set which i'm sure i would have been unhappy with! I wish i was lying but these pictures speak for themself! read more

This salon was the worst I've ever attended. This place is so unsanitary. I will never go back. I went in for acrylic nail removal. She removed my nails by chipping piece by piece off while chipping off my real nail. I could have done that myself at home. My nail bed is still healing a month later. read more

This place is horrible not even worth a star. They are dirty unsanitary and the people who work there are beyond rude if you like crooked index finger nails and cheap glue and the cheapest product then go to Fancy nails but just k now there is nothing Fancy about this place and the old outdated ladies who run it are disgustingly rude. read more

Horrible customer service.. The main lady acted like she was doing me a favor Cut my cuticles. Keep telling her it hurt of course dosen't listen... I asked for a fill well takes my originals off that were almond shaped but she can't do the almond shape or just didn't want to. My cuticles are swollen from the torture of her filing and being so rough!! Please don't come here. What a joke. Never again!! read more

My nails were so uneven. Do not go to this place. The service is horrible & there were only about 3 people that came in the whole time I was there. The lady that did my full set was just not good at all. I will not recommend. read more

I have been going to nail salons for over 16 years now, and This is definitely on my top five list of horrible salon service. If I could read it is zero I would. The older lady with glasses helped me with my shellac gel fill. Here's strike 1: I had to point out that she had shape the tip of my finger and a crooked slant. At first she tried to act like she did not see this very obvious miss shaped nail, then realize that I was not going to keep quiet about it and she had to fix it. So she did. Strike 2: She took the longest time to do the sloppiest job of painting my nails. I was in a hurry and on a time crunch, so when I looked at my emails and saw that there was shellac all over my cuticle and in between my nail and nail beds, I had thought to myself I will come back and have her fix this. Strike 3 and 4: I came back to get them fixed and a matter how many times I said I did not want her to "fix" them, they had her do it anyway. She argued with me about the color that I had gotten last time insisted that it was a much more orange version of the one I had. As she starts to paint them I start telling her right away but that is the wrong color. She still insisting that it's the right color and continues to paint all of them. I told her again wrong color. She then told me "watch after the second coat you'll see it is that color." After the second coat I told her again it is not the right color and I got up and grabbed the color from right behind her and showed her the correct color. She was annoyed and it showed as she painted them extremely fast to rush through it. They look worse now than they did before. Moral of the story is: I rather go 50 miles out of my way and spend twice as much money , than to have my nails look the way they look now and be treated the way I was. read more

The ladies that work here are very sweet and detail oriented. As I write this review, my pedicure is almost three weeks out, and not one chip has appeared! This is my new go-to for a mani/pedi while visiting my best friend in Modesto. We used to go to another place, but were turned off on our last visit (moments before we happened upon Fancy Nails). When we requested to have two of their "Deluxe" pedicures, we were told that we were going to get the "Express" this time. Not asked if that would be alright with us, but told. I'm sorry, I do not like being told what to do, especially when I am paying for a service. We thanked them, and left. Luckily, we found Fancy Nails, and I'm so glad we did! They are nicer, cleaner, and more customer service oriented. We were even offered a beverage! Thank you Fancy Nails! You have our business now! Five stars all the way! read more

I really enjoyed my pedicure. They did a great job cleaning my nails and scrubbing my feet. This is my first time coming here and I will most likely be back. I usually go elsewhere to get my nails done but I got a chance to look at their shellac colors and I'm really feeling the selection. I plan on coming back for shellac the next time I need to change colors. I stopped coming for a while because I had a bad experience with them cutting my toe nails way too short, to point where they hurt. They lost a star for me after that experience. 5/26/2017 Came in today and we got in the chair for a pedicures pretty quickly. Unfortunately the lady who did my friend's pedicure must be in training and seemed not know what she was doing. It seemed as though everyone was staring and the situation wasn't not explained to us by the employees. Instead, we just sat through our pedicure awkwardly. I'm definitely branching out to a new spot the next time I need a pedicure. read more

The lady cut me twice. The nails didn't cure well and nails messed up she just put polish over it and told me I was done. They are so bumpy. Worst experience. Wish I would've looked them up before going but they're in the wrong location on Apple Maps so I couldn't even see the rating. Never again ! read more

HORRIBLE PEDICURE! Rushed service, bad paining and they do not scrub well and remove dead skin and ingrowns.

I had read the reviews and still decided to come waste my time here! They say 3rd times the charm? NOT in my case, mind I say I understand I was a walk-in butttttttttt....walked in there Saturday morning and set an appointment for 2:30. When arriving I was told by "Vivian" (who I am assuming is the owner) she was running 30 minutes late. I agreed with rescheduling for Sunday at 10am but I would also be including a pedi. Nonetheless I get there and I want acrylic overlay on my toes and she tells me "she don't do" said something about it taking too long. I SET AN APPOINTMENT and I'm paying for a damn service....I got up and apologized to her for her wasting my time and walked out. Time to keep looking read more

This place was packed and full of people. My first time here this was a great first impression. I waited for about 10 minutes and was seated. The lady whom initially started on my nails wasn't able to finish my nails. Why? I wasn't sure. I was then moved to the front and the lady to the right did my nails. I explained to the lady what I wanted. Coffin style, thin and natural looking. She said, ok no problem. As she proceeded to do my nails I started to see that my left finger nails were thick and the right nails were thin. She told me she would take care of it before I'm all done. As she files my nails. She cuts me several times, then had the nerves to tell me that my left hand was bigger than my right hand and that's why I got cut? Really? If you want me to be honest your left hand is usually smaller than your right hand. However I didn't argue with the lady. I noticed my nails still looked the same and I asked her if she could fix the nail. She then said to me your nail is big it's not the same on the other hand. Smh.... Needless to say I will NEVER BE BACK. Very rude, nails did not come out as expected. And she didn't even clean the bottom of my nails. As I'm finishing up my review I look at my thumb and I have air bubbles. Sooooo not worth the 40 dollars. read more

I have been going here for YEARS. It is very close to my home. They are very consistant, they never disappoint. The only reason I give it a 3 stars is because they do not keep up with nail trends they are very old school, and do very basic nails. Still a nice, clean place to get a nice pedi and manicure. Will keep coming here but wish they had more variety. read more

Worst experience ever!!! I walked in for a get manicure, and walked out with just a gel removal of my previous polish because the lady didn't check to see she had the materials needed for my manicure. But she had already started to add foils before making sure she had everything and then continually tried to make me change my mind on my design. Then proceeds to charge me for taking off my gel polish, maybe if she wasn't so eager to start and made sure she had everything I wouldn't have had to pay for that. read more

Took my mom to treat her for a PEDI n Mani. They charged extra $5 to take off gel. She pulled gel off and barley filed nails. We asked her to fix over n over. The lady act like she doesn't speak English. She kept saying we messed up nails when she did it all lumpy so we told her to forget it and no Mani only PEDI. At the end we went to pay and they try to tell us pay for Mani we didn't get. We explained we will pay to take off gel but not for a Mani she didn't do. The owner kept telling us to shut up and stop talking the whole time. She pushed me out of the way and started cussing at us.... All of sudden they knew English. She grab my mom's hand and arm and started yelling at us. THIS IS ASSAULT ! YOU CANNOT PUSH PEOPLE AND GRAB PEOPLE BY THE ARM. Owner locked door and all the girls in salon blocked us from leaving even though I PAID. I had to dial 911 in order for her to open door and let us out. THIS SALON NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. THEY FUCK UP UR NAILS THEN HOLD U HOSTAGE!! read more

Fancy Nails - Over an hour later still wet and polish coming off. They did too lumpy - Nail Salons Near Me - Modesto, California

I am so unhappy with my nails. I asked for coffin shape and some nails came out square when I asked her to fix them she said it was because the nail polish makes them thick. My nails aren't smooth either I can see little craters n divots on my nails. I also asked for my cuticles to be cut and she said no need cause it comes off when they file the nail but I can still see the cuticle on some nails. Neither the acrylic or paint was taken all the way to the top of the nail and it looks like I need a fill already! I definitely won't be coming to this salon anymore. Waste of 40$ read more

High fiiiive Fancy Nails! I don't care what people say about walk-in nail salons like this, Fancy Nails is THE BOMB. My pedicures from Fancy Nails have NEVER chipped and I've been going here for 5+ years. I haven't has as good of luck with manicures but 1. the ladies here are always super eager to fix anything for free, even a few days later and 2. manicures never last, ever. From any salon. Period. Even though I go here much less often than I used to since I'm away at school, the women here still all know me by name and even ask me about my family (my mom and sisters come here, too). I really appreciate that they get to know their regular customers, because at a salon like this where you go to a different manicurist every appointment they really don't need to. They have a lot of nail polish, but their OPI selection is limited (in my opinion, if it's not OPI, it doesn't belong on your toesies) so I would definitely bring your own. The great thing about this salon is IF you forget to bring your own polish and you don't see one you like in their stockpile, there's a beauty supply store right next door where you can buy anything you want. Love it! read more

Very rough, pulled on my fingers a lot, and hard on my thin nails with a drill. Only came for an acrylic refill and she cut them shorter than I wanted, including my real nails underneath. It was very hot and uncomfortable. Please find another place to spend 35 on a Refill after tip. Crazy read more

Called to see if they had time for a walk-in she said yes. My nails are gorgeous! Great service and my nail technician was very helpful.

I've been told to "never" go to "asian" salons (is that not pc?), but honestly...they're the only salons with quality and longevity of both pedicures and manicures. That being said, Fancy Nails is by far my favorite salon, because not all nail salons are created equal, you know. This one is right by my house and being that there are four of us girls in my family, one of us seems to be in there every few weeks and the staff genuinely cares about us and our lives and always asks for updates, they remember our names, jobs, etc---very friendly and welcoming. Minus a star for not understanding what they say sometimes. Minus a star for whenever I have to wait/lack of good polishes so I choose to bring my own (I know, not realllly fair) Plus a star for flowers on your pedicure! (I've only tried it once, but it actually looks way cute) read more

Terrible service. Very careless. Expensive. Chipped polish on 3 fingers after 2 days. I've giving them 3 chances to get better and they get worse every time. They cut several fingers every time, extremely rough with your hand. They do not listen to the shape you want and if you do try to ask them to fix it they do not care to listen at all. read more

Fancy nails gets a 3 from me. I walked in and was helped right away, which was much appreciated. I asked if I could have two shellac colors layered, and that seemed to confuse the tech who was helping me. She had to ask another tech if it was OK. After being seated, she proceded to soak my nails, and then began the customary painful cuticle/hangnail/any-extra-whatever clipping. This is something that I haven't quite decided whether I want to skip altogether due to the risk of infection or just continue as my nails last longer and look better after this step. The tech was quick and efficient, and my nails look great. I love the color, and she shaped my nails well. My main disappointment was the lack of hand/forearm massage afterward, which is part of the reason I love getting my nails done. Other than that, good service. Tip: Bring cash for a tip, as credit machine does not have a tip line. read more

I have been here several times. If you go when they are busy they rush through your pedicure. Yesterday I went when it was slow and Bebe did an amazing job. She will be my go to from now on. They do not have a good selection of colors in OPI which is the only brand I care for. Tips are cash only so be prepared and its $1 to use a debit card. read more

I was recommended this place from a family friend. My first set lasted 9 days before 3 nails popped off completely. I went back to get them fixed an notified them that my set was done just 9 days prior. The lady said ok she would fix them and give me a fill. The fill was going to cost me $32, I did not mind paying that being I liked the new filled set. I had planned on giving her a total of $40 which would have been an $8 tip for the tech. A coworker passed by right before she completed my fill set and started speaking in another language. When my fill set was completed she said her coworker said she has to charge me for replacing the 3 nails that popped off an had to be replaced. My total came out to $42 which is almost the same price as a brand new set. Tech lost out on tip. Due to the additional cost an unprofessional manner of the additional cost I will not be returning unless there is literally no other shops open. read more

So first I'm a male, so walked in for pedicure everyone looked at me, yet no one greeted me or gave me a estimated time. They appeared to be busy so I sat down and waited. Then clients finished and one by one they walked out yet still no one greeted me. Several chairs and employees were available. Two employees went to the back to eat. I waited over 30 min, eventually I grew tired of waiting and being ignored so I left. First impressions are lasting. Won't be going back read more
