I was recommended Fancy nails by a friend and we both decided to go get our nails done. It was quite the wait but understandable since I lacked an appointment, however after our nails were done we were beyond disappointed. We got them done during the last hour of business on a Saturday so we were unable to get them fixed the next day once the imperfections became extremely evident. I can understand a bump or two in an acrylic set but I left the salon with crooked, lumpy, and not fully dry gel acrylic nails. As you know gel nails are fairly simple and quick to dry but the way the woman rushed the process truly ruined any chance of an acceptable product. I assure, I will be in to get this fixed on Monday.
Terrible experience! Do not go there! Cut my daughters foot and fingers. Stuck a floral sticker on one of the nails without asking. Each nail on her thumb was completely different sizes. So, so terrible. We will never, ever be back!! When they were done with my wife's pedicure the lady just got up and walked off and didn't come back for 20 minutes to say she was done. Again, terrible all around experience!
MY GO TO PLACE ! When I'm in Redding! Seriously! Everyone is so friendly and does great work! They have a lot of colors and nail options to choose from! He always does such a great job on my nails! thank you so much again!
I was close by, my nails were a mess so I decided to stop in for a fill. I ran right into Tony. The best nail artwork hands down. I had nothing in mind so I let him come up with something great. Usually everyone one else wants to draw an ugly flower or polka dots and snatch your money, not here. I did go past my budget and my nails are longer than I would normally wear them. I would definitely revisit this shop with something a little simpler in mind and of course near my budget. But if your one to live a little and you enjoy busier long nails that look really fly Try Tony's work. Its awesome!
I decided I wanted to get my nails done last minute on Sunday (it was my birthday) during a busy holiday weekend. Fancy nails was the only nail salon that had time to get me in, and I called 5 places before them! That alone made me nervous to go, but I was pleasantly surprised. I came in for a full set of acrylic nails and a pedicure. They got started on me as soon as I got there, and we're done in a reasonable time. I ran into a couple problems while I was there. First, the salon is not the cleanest I've seen... by a long shot. That didn't bother me too much, but I can imagine some people being really unhappy about that. The remote for the massage chair was covered in some who-know-what substances. Second, I showed my nail tech a photo of what I wanted. I wanted natural acrylic (where the pink fades to white). I showed her three photos and she said ok. I ended up with pink painted nails? Not even CLOSE to what I asked for, but in the end I still liked them. It was frustrating at first though because it wasn't anything like I wanted. Pros- they were very nice, did a good job with my pedicure and nails, were quick, and polite.
Stay away this nail salon is horrible service. So I asked for a pedicure only which is $20 on their sign and asked for oval shape. The guy doing my nails was horrible, he shaped all my nails square except for two nails. He was not wearing gloves nor a mask and the white towel they have you put your hands on was dirty. Now on to the nail color which I asked for color changing which is extra $5 but he could not comprehend what I was asking for or just decided he wanted more money. He quotes me $30 and I said no that's not what your price is on your sign. Then this guy Tony said yes for gel and I told him I never asked for gel to start with. So he tells me to pick a color off the walk which by then I'm not happy but did so to get out of there. This guy doing my nails was really horrible and the pedicure was a joke. After finally getting my nails painted he never put them under the UV light to dry. So when he finally said they are dried I asked him twice are you sure..he said yes. Upon getting my money out the nails were not dried and he wanted to fix the ones that were not but I said nope I've had enough and will go next door to the dollar store and get nail remover and do it myself. So basically if you don't request gel or higher price you get the low ball treatment. The next day my skin around my nails start to peel very badly and turned red and puffy. Yep some type of infection and thank goodness I had collateral silver on hand which has helped and to this day they are still healing on both hands. Absolutely the worse nail salon I've ever received service from and not sanitary to top it off. My service was on December 28th around 5pm.
In COMPLETE CRAZzZzZy.... LOVE!!!! Holly you ROCK They are so sweet & kind ,And Do Uhmazing work ...I will definitely be back . #RockinMyLongCrazyShawnieNails #Bam #Chanel #Bling
Fancy nails is a gem I have tried a dozen nail shops in Redding and although a few have been nice, none have been up to my standards. The shop is clean and immaculate, they have plenty of color options, and the nail techs are friendly. When I got my nails done last, the shop owner tony, I believe, started my nails and he was gentle, fast, and precise! He's the only nail tech I've had that can get my coffin nails as sharp and even as I like! The younger female nail tech finished my nails, she painted them and hand painted the design I wanted on two of my nails exactly how I asked and she made sure every line was perfect! These two truly care about the customer and if the customer is happy so are they. Highly recommend this shop!
Just got my nails done for my best friends wedding this weekend! I brought in a picture of what I wanted and they nailed it! ;) I love my nails, they look beautiful and just how I wanted them.
As much as I don't want to speak poorly on this place due to the lady here being incredible, the salon as a whole is an absolute joke. The guy doing my nails shouted at me "maybe you should tell me this before" after answering his question "what shape do you want?" With "rounded" during the gluing the tip to my nail process. He continued by aggressively ripping the tips off with the rudest attitude just to reglue the exact same ones onto my nails less than a minute later. What was the point of this? I wish I knew. But right then and there I knew it was going to be a terrible experience and that it was. I had to ask him for specifics and politely correct him several times and still left the salon with thick, lumpy, unprofessional nails. I included a photo of what I showed him vs what I ended up with.
My daughter and I went in as a walk in. We didn't have to wait long We showed them pictures of what we wanted and got just what we asked for.
I've been here quite a few times. I've lived down the road from this salon for over a year. I have had Tony, and the other two techs. The younger male here is very talented and kind. Whereas I just got my nails done here by Tony. Called ahead, waited 45 minutes before coming in. Then waiting over an hour in the salon. I wanted a green French tip with mushrooms. Super basic design. Tony is always being referred to me by friends, and this time I had him by luck. So I was excited to actually love my nails, since my last two sets $50+ from the mall were trash. I've done my own sets and know the difference between talent and laziness. Tony has Talent, just doesn't care. And is really ruff, and can come across as mean. I don't have the patience to do my right hand myself, so I normally just go to get them done somewhere. I had my picture ready. wanted a longer almond shape, it's the most flattering on my hands. When he cut the tip too short he just ripped it off, no soak, and it felt like my skin was ripping off. Tooooo much super glue on all fingers. My finger pads are stuck to the top of the acrylic. And I have to pull them off. The tips themselves were very well executed, as far as the curve. The problem is, he only did a single coat of green. So it's see through, uneven, and not fully lined up the nail. This is just pure negligence. The mushrooms look like triangles not rounded. The dots are iffy. And there's air bubbles and hair in the top coat of gel. They're too short STILLLL, after I asked for longer. They point upwards, not down. And it completely looks like too small of tips were used on my nails. I have large hands, and large square beds. So from other sets I've gotten, these do not look uniform to my fingers at all. From a distance they're cute, and I got a few compliments today. But up close these are horrid. I tipped $10. $55 total. I really shouldn't have. But I felt like I was an inconvenience because how my hands were treated. And Tony just didn't seem like he was having a good day. Don't go here if you want your hands treated gently. The main lady at A-Z is wonderful. She massaged my hands for a good 5 minutes with the oil. She made conversation. 10/10, this was from April. My favorite set. Haven't been this satisfied since.

Horrible place to get nails done he did the total opposite of what I wanted and I kept reminding him what I wanted and kept saying he knew what I was talking about and kept doing it the way he wanted them. The Polish is all uneven and not even covering entire nail. The nails are not straight ever one of them are uneven and underneath the nail at the tips are very sharp and not file down and this place has the balls to charge me 50 dollars for this. Bullshit never go there again experience was horrible people and very rude and not friendly place to do business at read more

I really loved the prices! They were able to achieve what I wanted. They took an appointment for three of us on a Saturday and got done fairly quick! All three of us walked away happy. There are some areas that could have been painted better around the edges but only I'm able to notice so no biggie for me! read more

The diem and dirty is I love how my nails came out. The gal that did them did had painted fall leave and her attention to detail was fabulous. Dislikes: I was a walk-in. There were two people already in and it took an hour before they started on me. While she was trimming my nails to begin the acrylic one flew and hit me I'm the face, another into my lab. The others... who knows lol they also didn't talk terribly much. I was quoted $45 for my nails, my usual place charges $35. I feel $45 was a bit much. The shop was clean and didn't smell. The walls didn't look perfect behind the register but I also don't feel the walls determines their ability to do my nails. Why mention it then? Visuals matter to some people. I really do appreciate that as more poodle walked in age didn't rush my nails to het to the next person. I would have given 5 stars for a better price. My nails need a fill badly but check out that detail! read more

Called ahead for a party of 5 and was able to get in right away when we arrived. Polish pedi and gel mani was great she did the best she could with my old shaped nails. The younger nail tech worked on both and paid attention to detail! Also did a panda on my sisters nails (it was her birthday)!! read more

The lady who did my pedicure was awesome. Did a lovely job. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars was because I got a manicure and the nails dried with waves because the polish was put in to thick. Other then that I would go back to this place but I don't live around here. read more

I use to love this place, but sadly recently the outcome of my nails have not been great. I got them done Tuesday and now it's Thursday and my gels are lifting and pulling up in multiple areas. They weren't overly busy (nobody else waiting) and still rushed through my nails and barely spoke to me. read more

Been going to them for over a year! In the beginning they were great, so I great I even recommended them to all of my friends. But lately Hollys work has been very disappointing. I'd request for Tony and he'd start on me but pond me off to Holly. My nails use to last me weeks, and now they constantly break. I keep going back thinking the next time will be better but I keep getting disappointed. After today I'll be looking for a new place. read more

I've been going to fancy nails for the past year and their work is always amazing! I constantly get compliments on my nails. Their prices are also very affordable and the staff is super nice. I recently started having Tony do my nails and his work is insane. He can do whatever custom work you want and comes up with really cool ideas too. (Check their insta and you'll see what I mean.) My only regret is that I took videos instead of pictures of my previous nails so I can't post them but here's the latest set I had done but I've had some really crazy nails before and they've always turned out super cute. (Ignore my crooked fingers pls) I tried to take screenshots of my nails in some of the videos so you can kinda see the great work they do. I'll start posting more photos for reference in the future but I definitely recommend Fancy Nails if you're looking for a good nail place. They also have candy to munch on which is an added bonus. read more

How much is a full set of shorter coffin acrylics with gel polish on top?
Mine was around $50 with decor so I'm sure your's will be cheaper :)
