Fancy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

I am so glad I stumbled upon this place on Yelp because it has got to be the cutest, most relaxing, and friendliest nail spa ever. On top of being super comfortable in my chair, being offered a free drink and being able to relax in such a nice and quiet place, the care and effort put into my mani & pedi was phenomenal. In the fact, they value your time and don't rush you or overbook. They don't care about the amount of clients but the quality of the services that they offer. Jenni was super nice and patient with what I wanted. Though she may have slipped on messing up the coffin shape I wanted for my natural nails, she made them an almond shape which I ended up liking even look a lot better. I told her I wanted a red and litter nail polishes being hard to build up, she magically mixed two different polishes and got the exact color I wanted. My nails look like they're gel or acrylic! Which is super cool because it doesn't have that uneven or weird look. read more

This place is nice and service is quick. Pleasant experience Not the best quality service though. Not good attention to detail and they wreck the nail. Had a couple if times here but had to stop and let my nails recover from their overuse of using emery boards to remover polish instead of polish remover. Nice place for a one time visit. Won't go back because quality if service and professionalism is more important than the pretty place read more

Jennifer is very sweet and accommodating! She does a new method to lengthen your nails called "dipping powder". It is a technique that is better for your nails and last longer than the gel application. She is very good at it too! Makes nails look very natural! read more

This is the first and last time I will ever go here. It was gross and dirty! I sat down at the table and there was still nail clippings from the last manicure. The UV heater was filthy inside and out. The ladies spoke very poor English so communicating with them was very difficult. Pretty sure they were all talking crap about the customers from their body language and laughing and dirty looks. I paid $25 for a gross experience. My nails look ok but she nicked my cuticles and made them bleed. read more

Helen is doing amazing designs here is one and I will keep you posted you can show her a picture and she will mimic it to a tee. She will do what ever you ask for. Some nails techs will only do what they like but not HELEN she is patient and will give you such a unique design. read more

Had the lady who did my pedicure snap her fingers at me for cash to pay and demanded her tip to be Cash only and I handed her 5$ for a tip, & had my card out and she just stared at me I said the cash is your tip my card is for the payment. Extremely rushed not relaxing at all. Very very rude. Have never experienced this ever the aggression & rudeness is unbelievable. My nails did come out decent, but 48$ plus an expected tip for a rushed uncomfortable pedi no thank you read more

Got a gel manicure here today. Even though the place was half empty and business was slow my manicurist seemed in an awful rush, and was very hard on my nails. She used a dremel tool to not only take the top coat of gel off, but kept going further down and taking all the gel off (and some of my nail, too). She was very impatient with soaking my nails, so when the gel wasn't ready to come off on its own she used a metal scraper and then a rough emery board to sand off the gel (and again the top of my nail). A few times during all this she ended up hitting my skin with the dremel or poking me with the scraper. Ouch! Also, I noticed (too late) that the emery board and buffer she used were not new, i.e. had been used before, which is a total violation of California health code since it can spread disease. Also the UVB curing lamp was so strong it made my nails hurt! I haven't ever had that experience before. I will say that my nails look nice now, but so much damage was done in the process I suspect they will be much the worse for wear when the gel comes off. NOT worth it. read more

On the most stressful day during the Holiday season, I found a short window to escape to Fancy Nails and found exactly what my soul needed - an amazing time spent with Cindy who did a great job assuaging my frantic mode with a relaxing and beautiful mani/pedi job. Cindy was calm, caring and posed what we come to a nail spa for most of all - QUIET and exuded a peaceful energy, as opposed to loud discussions with her peers, which is why I will return soon to enjoy another ZEN experience and amazing mani/pedi. Thank you Cindy! read more

Very aggressive women especially when it comes to tip. They upsell and are expensive.

my mani/pedi were great, but the whole experience was ruined by the owner's use of a power drill within 10 feet of me. REALLY annoying.

Yesterday 5 of us had an appt here. We allowed for 1.5 hours to get pedicures and scheduled the appt weeks in advance. Two of us waited 15 minutes before our pedicure began the next two waited a half hour and I myself had to wait over 45 minutes for the pedicure to begin. Since we had to leave for a lunch reservation I had to cut mine short and only get the basics. This is not the first time I've had a problem with making a so-called appointment and waiting. That was not the worst part though. At the end after paying the bill for the five of us which was $240, one of the manicurists who I believe maybe the owner was unhappy with our $60 tip and this after all of the waiting and rushed pedicures. I'm not even sure why we tip so much except that we felt bad for the manicurists as they're not the ones running the business. But then to be harassed about it is completely unacceptable when in reality we probably should've been given a discount for the waiting. This will be my last visit. read more

Fancy Nails - Pink and white tips look amazing! Done by Jennifer!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Scotts Valley, California

I do like Fancy Nails and love the SNS dipping, though I wish it included an actual manicure and massage. I have been getting a senior discount, given on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but originally they told me it was 55, then a few months ago I heard them tell someone else it was 62, but I was still asking for and getting the senior discount (but i am between 55 and 62). Yesterday I had my nails done and when I checked out I asked for the senior discount and she snapped no, only for 65. I made a point of going on their slower day figuring it was good for them and me, and I try to pay cash because I know that helps them. I guess I won't try to help by going on their slower days or paying cash anymore. I have been going here since they opened so just disappointed they don't seem to care about loyal customers. read more

the woman that sat me down to do my acrylics ended up getting up while i was picking out my color, sitting down next to me, took her shoes off, and put her bare feet on the desk in front of her to relax while she sat on her phone. is this a health code violation? another woman ended up doing my nails but was super rough and a lot of my nails started bleeding. you're better off driving into santa cruz or san jose for an acrylic set with better customer service and higher quality nails. read more

My favorite nail salon in town. I get acrylic with gel polish. Jennifer is my favorite tech she takes her time and makes you feel like she genuinely enjoys doing nails. Other places you feel like you're being rushed in and out. If you want to get your nails done make an appointment with Jennifer! read more

This was my first time here and I unfortunately will not be going back. My mom and I came in for gel manicures and regular pedicures. They did both pedicure and manicure at the same time, which would be fine, but it felt rushed and was a little awkward. I couldn't see my pedicure because they were doing my hands, so I didn't realize how bad it was until after. The edges were super sloppy, they weren't clean at all. Some toes the nail polish was on my toe itself and some it didn't cover my entire nail bed. As for the gel manicure, again it was all rushed, and I noticed she wasn't cleaning up the edges. The coats were uneven and there was bubbling. So after my nails were "done" I asked her to fix some of the edges that were hanging over my nail bed onto my fingers. She tried to cut them off and ended up cutting me on two fingers and making me bleed. I finally told her it was fine and left the rest alone. My mom's toes looked about the same as mine, fingers looked slightly better, but a couple of nails had severe bubbling and lint that had been dried on them. We got the "massage" which they did with a glitter lotion, and they got it all over my mom's shirt. She had chunks of lotion on her which we didn't see until it dried. We ended up taking the polish off of our toes and I went to another salon to get my fingers redone. read more

A lesson for me....and I won't go back. They ruined my shirt. I spoke with the owner and she said I could call her back at the store but when I did, she didn't return my phone call. read more

Well, where do I begin? This is my first review and I really wish it could be a five star review because I so desperately wanted to have a nice, positive experience...that, unfortunately did not happen on any level. I should have realized what I was in for the moment I walked through the door and no one greeted or acknowledged my existence. I did not have an appointment, but was willing to wait-I arrived more than two hours before closing and wanted gel nails with tips. After about ten minutes (no clue why I waited so long), another customer arrived. They must have known this person because she was greeted warmly. I was motioned to a chair as sort of an afterthought. When I told the technician what I wanted, she seemed to not understand. When I say she did not understand, I mean she did not understand simple English. Another woman was called over to translate-apparently it was assumed that all I wanted was a simple manicure. When I was able to communicate what I was there for through a combination of pantomime and pointing at the appropriate tools to be used, I was led to a different station and taken over by a different technician. I had never gotten gel nails done before, so I should have done my research beforehand. I ended up with a sloppy, rushed and thick set of unevenly painted acrylic nails with a gel coat on top. My cuticles were completely ignored. The light that was used to cure the gel kept turning off/and/or was not even turned on at all each time I was instructed (through hand signals no less) to put my hands under the light. When I would alert the technician to this fact she would act genuinely put out and annoyed. The entire time she was speeding through my set, she did not utter a single word to me, not even *how are you?* Instead she chose to talk to her coworkers in Vietnamese. Now I have been exposed to many cultures and customs, as well as having had my nails done at other salons where all the technicians similarly spoke Vietnamese, so it wasn't some sort of misunderstanding. I have never experienced such rude and careless service at a nail salon before. Even having language barriers in the past, I was made to feel welcome. I gave up on thinking I was going to get friendly service about half way through and hoped to at least recieve a nice set of nails. Nope. Thick, uneven, horrific paint job, looking like they would be ready for a fill in two days rather than two weeks... I think I also mentioned at the beginning of the review that I wanted GEL nails with tips...not acrylics with a gel finish, but I guess that was more my fault for failing to do my research. I ended up spending about three hours at home with a nail kit sanding down my nails so they actually looked presentable. I would have been seriously embarrassed if I was a nail technician and had done such a hideously poor job...guess I had to learn ny lessin the hard way... ... ... read more

Horrible experience. Made a finger bleed did not do what I asked for even after pointing to a poster on the wall & saying I wanted that look w/ a thin white line & the same shape. Charged $32 when they told me it would be $22. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! read more

Once again I try'd this place out. Oh was I so disappointed! Paused $30 for a pedicure with shellac and it was absolutely horrible! She didn't even give my feet the full cleaning. And the shellac was thin I had to tell her to put more coats on. Then my toes start sticking together because she doesn't even use the toe dividing things. I had to tell her she should probably use it. I will not be back! If it wasn't for my favorite place queen nails being booked I never would of came here again. What a waste of money. read more

Love this place! Customer service is standard at first but better the more regular you come! Most of the girls here are great! Have had a few texting while getting my manicure and didn't love that. Reason for only 4 stars. But if you know who you like to do your manicure then you should be good! They have a rewards card and are willing to do designs that are intricate! And also will repair a nail for free within a reasonable amount of time of course! For those saying this place is pricey: you should invest in your own nail polish and use your own 2 hands. This place is VERY affordable! read more

Yesterday 2/16/2016 I stopped at fancy nails in Scotts Valley Ca.. I'm visiting and needed a fill and pedicure and waxing.. It looked okay.. But they did everything really fast... My nails look thick and bumpy.. I explained to them that I brought my decals And if they knew how to put them on my nails and they said yes.. Nope they did not...

Ok, I tried this place TWICE and I'm not stoked. The first time I went the gal cut my finger and made me bleed. The second time my pedi looked like my 10 year old did it, and the gal that did my nails was rude, bossy amd hurt my nails. She acted like I had never done gels before, even tho I came in with it. I won't be going back here ever again. read more

Great service! Large selection of services. The perifan wax was sublime. Massage chairs worked well. Relaxing space!

God I hate this place. I have to go here when Felton Nails is too busy and I need something done that day, today all I needed was some already half grown out gel nails taken off. They said it would be five, charged 10, because I guess she filed the nails, without asking me or telling me it was now a "manicure". The nail techs are extremely rough, push you around, cut your cuticles, and don't really talk at all. She cut my cuticle today. GO TO FELTON NAILS. read more

2nd time here. First time was great. Today, not good. One lady packed up and left at 5:15 before her manicure. She'd had pedi but her appt was at 4. I Paid extra for more than basic pedi (#3) but it was a basic. Music and CNN going at the same time. Chatter between manicurists the whole time. I heard maybe 5% English. Tee kicked my foot after pedicure while doing my manicure. I left without asking them it fix the polish she honked up. They don't say hello: they don't say thank you. I might as well have been cattle. Go to Millie's. read more

Unfortunately, they lost my business for good. They switched to cash only. And they have signs posted all over now saying that tips must be in cash. The expectation of a tip is off putting. They have an ATM but it was out of money. I offered to go to Wells Fargo but they seemed afraid I would not come back. I've been going here for years! Then the receptionist said I wasn't operating the ATM correctly. She had me try two more times. I kept telling her the error message said it was empty. She was clearly frustrated with me. The owner came over and refilled the machine but was $20 short of what I needed, therefore only covering the services I received. Then the other gal said "What about the tip?" Really? I told her I couldn't if the ATM didn't have enough cash. She was speaking loudly and several customers were watching. Very embarrassing. I'm going to Queen Nails now, down the street. Much better service. read more
