Love coming here, so fast and will do exactly what you ask for. Good quality, rarely if ever do I have any chipping or broken nails.

I got a mani pedi with gel. Total cost $80. People were nice enough. But the quality was not good.,nail polish on my skin. The white looks wonky and kinda a mess. I won't be back and I'd suggest looking other places for the price. I looks like it was there first day on the job. I wish I didn't get gel so I can fix it. This pictures are literally same day. Ughhh read more

I'm originally from Sonoma county so I had been looking for a salon for a while, this salon was great! The younger man with glasses I didn't get his name was so gentle on my toes and probably the best pedicure I have ever received. For the first time ever all my toes are actually shaped the same perfectly, and as for my acrylics they are a bit shorter than I expected but they still look soooo pretty and Kathy my girl gave me a free chrome since my nails were so short. 10 outta 10 and I will be coming back! This place also looked clean and they definitely focused on my nails not the tv. Over all for both sets that are gel based too I spent 135. Including a tip. Everyone was very kind. read more

my daughter is 13 and she went there to get her nails done, they were terrible the shape was awful and. the service wasn't that bad but they definitely could've been nicer. they tricked my daughter into tipping them more than they should've. they told them the total amount would be $100 and then he charged her 120! they try to leave them self a tip and didn't even give my daughter the choice to tip. of course she was going to but that is unacceptable that they make their own tip we will not be returning i do not recommend going here read more

literally the dirtiest place ever. horrible customers service and lady complained because I didn't like the two acrylic colors SHE picked for me. she got mad and started talking to another lady who was also mad. just dirty and dirty. go somewhere else. my nails with not the same size and just sloppy. read more

I normally don't write negative reviews, but I feel this experience needs to be shared. I came in for a pedicure because my regular salon didn't have availability, and the entire service lasted only 25 minutes -- including the removal of my previous gel polish. My feet were soaked briefly, polish removed, nails clipped (but not even filed), and a quick scrub on the bottoms of my feet. Someone else stepped in for the leg massage, which was so underwhelming it felt like my cat making biscuits did a better job. The polish was applied, and that was it. Unfortunately, I would rather travel out of town than return here again. Waste of money and I would say time but...... read more

They are a bit rough with your nails and the salon could use a cleaning but they do a good job on nails and this is the only place I've ever gone where the nails are strong and stay on no matter what. read more

I received the best manicure of my life the other day at First Nails Salon in Willits. The young gentleman that worked on my nails was so thorough and a true artist. I got the dip powder which looks so vibrant and smooth and it's been more than a week and still looks perfect! Thank you I will be back once a month and I highly recommend this nail salon to anyone wanting a true professional and lovely nail experience . read more

Do not go to US First Nails, their nail techs seem to pay more attention to the TV then they so the client. The nail quality it very poor my nails are bumpy and not filled all the way. I asked for French tips and was not asked how I wanted the white, they are alot chunkier then I would have liked! read more

Amazing new chairs! Great service! I had an amazing experience! I would recommend. Vibe was right read more

Awful service. I got a mani and pedi with gel polish on my fingers and the gel chipped within 24 hours. I call and ask politely for a polish redo and I spent almost $200 on myself and my mom and they told me NO! unbelievable. We will not be back. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. read more

Walk in only is so convenient! I always get prompt service at a good price. Yelp requires 85 characters for a review to post, so blah, blah, blah. read more

Place said walk in but they sent me out to come back later. This was the WORST mess ever. The older (retired ) man who did my nails was careless banging my fingers in dryer. The polish was just slapped on very sloppily and he sent me out the door without cleaning off the cuticles. when I went home and saw the mess, I returned and had a lady in there, clean it up. Four days later all the sides of the gel were bubbled and popped off. I wouldn't recommend anybody ever go to this place besides that it was dirty. read more

Awful!!!!! I've never had such a terrible experience at a nail salon or encountered such rude technicians. First, I called to make an appt and they said they don't accept appointments and then hung up on me. Against my better judgement, I went ahead and drove over to do a walk in for my two daughters to get full sets. When we got there it was empty, just the 2 employees inside. They each took my girls and one started right away, the other said she would be right back. As she was coming out from the back room, three women walked in and she asked if she could help them. One wanted a wax and one wanted her nails done. She told the lady wanting her nails done to sit down and took the wax to the back and waxed her. When she came out she sat down with the other lady and started doing her nails...while my daughter sat there still waiting. I stood up and said excuse me, but my daughter was next. She told me that she would be quick with that lady and we can wait. I told her we were there first and already waited for the wax that came in AFTER us, but we would absolutely not be waiting for her to do nails too. Again, she told me to wait and she will do my daughters after she was done. I told the woman who was doing my other daughter's nails that we were there first and this was unacceptable so we were going elsewhere, then I told my daughter to get up because we were leaving. She grabbed my daughter's arm and yanked her back down and tried cutting off the tips that she just glued on. I then grabbed my daughter's arm and told the lady not to touch her and that we would never be back to this salon again and we left. When we got into the car my daughter showed me her finger that she pulled and she had cut her when she tried removing her nail! This salon should not even be in business!!! Do NOT go there!! read more

I will be reporting this establishment to the health dept because it is so filthy dirty. One area of great concern to me is the bathroom. There was no soap, toilet seat cover or paper towels. When I told a staff member I was directed to a bowl in the salon area where I could wash my hands. My manicure was ok but I had to ask to have my cuticles treated. The hand and arm massage lasted about 1 minute. Also I said I didn't want gel polish but the technician then asked asked me 3 more times why I didn't want the gel?? read more

thank you so much first nails! for coming in clutch the set was 100$! included a tip because i was impressed with her hard work!! 5 stars!!!! read more

See all

I wish I could give zero stars! Treated myself to a pedicure and it was horrible! Water was cold, wouldn't change it. Reused hot rocks from my partner's massage. Didn't say one word to me. Asked for a French pedicure said it was too difficult. Ended up with this shit! read more

Went in with my friend and her mom. They did Gel on my friend and a pedi in her mom. I didn't get anything done, but a little TV watching. I did ask if they would change the polish on my nails but didn't seem to find my hands appealing enough to help. (See pic) read more

I've given this place SO many chances in the last 3-4 years. No more. I'm done. The gentleman who seems to be in charge of everyone is rude - particularly to his own staff - rushes the customers through to accommodate every walk-in no matter how much it inconveniences the current customers. They were so busy the day I went in they actually waxed a woman's face in a chair smooshed in between customers having their nails done because the private wax room was occupied. That is just utterly unprofessional and unhygienic. As one of the other posters has mentioned, the lack of clear language skills creates an invisible barrier and the manager's tone when speaking in a foreign language to the technicians is hostile and rude. I asked to have my fingernails shortened but they are SO short now it's painful even to type. The nail polish was applied far too thickly and the overall job is just sloppy. Sorry. Won't be giving them any more of my business. Suggest that you don't either. read more

I have been going there for a couple years, once a month, the people are nice the girl who does my nails Kim, does a wonderful job, I get in and I get out. The place is clean. I see from previous remarks city people especially San Fransiscans always have something rude to say could be why their experience wasnt the best maybe? Do Lake County a favor and stay in the bay area hmm? Great place reasonable prices. Take it from a local not some cement jungle dweller. read more

I tried to make an apt for a pedicure but they said just to come in. When i arrived i had to wait about 10 min even though i said i called. I picked a color and they dont use any name brand nail polish so it looked like some cheap and old stuff. They do line their pedicure trays with plastic but the massage chairs are old and they dont want you to operate yourself. The guy actually took the remote from me when i teied to change the settings. I was next to a.brokem chaur where they kept all their phones and purses behind and all i could see was the dirt and dust everywhere..it made me a little sick Then i noticed they dont use fresh tools like most places who take them out of a nag or keep them in sanitizing liquid...she literally scrubbed my feet and washed the calus s rubber with my dirty feet water then put it back in her caddy. Same with the nail trimmer she was using. Then they wouldnt "remove my caluses" cuz they said i didnt have any but they still charged me the extra 5 dollars. Honestly if i wasn't so exhausted and my feet weren't so gross i would have walked out. I still tipped 5$ so $35 total but i wont be back and am actually considering calling the health board due to what i saw with the pedicure "tools" read more

I have been going here for a while and everytime im always happy with everything and the service was great and i got a full set and it was done fast and it was the best nail appointment ive had in a while i recommend going here for a relaxing day i will definatly go here again read more

First Nails - My amazing nails that im so happy with - Nail Salons Near Me - Lakeport, California

I went into the salon yesterday following six other women seeking pedicures. Immediately, my very favorite girl, Kathy, took me under her wing and gave me a fill and the best pedicure I have ever had! Kathy, you truly rock! I couldn't believe how quickly the manicurists worked through the other six ladies to their delight. No appointment necessary and always obliging. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Rude and uninviting from the moment I walked in. I said I need a pedicure and no one replied with a wait time or "just a moment" or "pick a color." I just get to stand there like an idiot wondering what's happening. I finally get seated in a chair with no water so I'm awkwardly and uncomfortably sitting there looking for the massage control so I have something to do. The nail tech next to me sees me looking for the remote for the chair and she says "just wait a minute the chair is broken." I almost left right then and there. The pedicure was terrible, they basically painted my bails. There was no nail cleaning, cuticle work done and minimal filing. Such a shitty pedicure and waste of money and time. read more

I've been going here for over 6 months now, but almost every-time I go here, I leave unsatisfied with my nails. I truly believe that the quality of their work is not worth the amount of money you end up paying for. If you want precise and elegant acrylic nails, please do not go here. I finally got it through my head today after spending $50 on acrylics, and walked out super unhappy with wide duck nails after asking for square instead of my usual coffin, and my nails looking absolutely nothing like the picture I hoped for. Save your money and go to someone who is really dedicated in their work of nails and making sure they are what you wanted. very nice people though, just not the place for me read more

Just left the salon from getting my eyebrows waxed, it was rushed, she only put me in a chair they used to sit on, didn't even have lay down or put me in some that reclines. The lady did even ask what I wanted, just started waxing. She didn't use a cooling balm after or offer me a mirror to check when she was done. One eyebrow is longer than the other. I was so livid I couldn't even go back in. Never ever would I recommend this place, I am going back for a refund. read more

Major health concerns with this place 1. Unsanitary conditions 2. Unlicensed staff with no knowledge of health or safety 3. Unlawful performance of duties for which they are not licensed such as waxing. 4. These people are opening a facility that should be shut down by the Dept of Health BEWARE!!! This is a problem waiting to explode read more

This nail shop is the worst I've ever visited! 1. They are not friendly. 2. They do poor job to your nails. 3. They are cheap and charge high prices but will apply one coat of nail polish...really! How cheap can you stoop? They see the white customer before the Latino or black regardless to whom comes in first. They are truly and genuinely wicked! Don't patronize this business! Please! read more

It was decent probably for the area but sub par to anything you could get in SF. Very good leg massage and relatively clean and hygienic. Their actual nail service was basic- nothing great as they left too much cuticle for my taste. The polish was applied too thickly. Staff speaks very little English which puts an undue burden on the customer trying to explain issues. As someone who speaks another language when I live in another country, this never ceases to amaze me. Also I paid for a $5 callus treatment of 3-5 minutes, yet they only left the solution on less than 1 minute. So, I don't think it was advertised accurately and not worth the additional amount. read more

They're so rude, very unprofessional and nails are trash I asked them to do I simple white coffin shaped nails and they said they couldn't do it read more

Visiting from out of town and needed mani pedi. One thing is small town prices but can't avoid that. Special mani pedi with rock massage $35, good special . Busy by 10 am on Saturday. Gentleman said hello and came to us to ask what we needed. He did my Moms mani with gel and seemed good at it. They're midnight pedi with gel is $50. At home mine is $40 so a bit higher but going rate. Didn't have a color chart which I prefer to look at. The colors are on the nail polish jar. Getting a manicure so I'll see how it goes, So there is 7 ladies and 2 guys. 1 guy is the owner guy but does nails, I had other guy. He was good with massage and painting. Not detailed with cleaning on toenails or bottom of feet. I would say he did half way but since I get pedicure faithfully I was OK. I'd come beck but ask for a girl. The owner guy ended up doing my Moms cuz they were keeping the flow going. He seemed to be detailed as he went back and cleaned her cuticles a bit, overall happy and would come back when visiting her again. read more

I am shocked the health department has not closed this filthy salon. Absolutely an unethical practice. What irritated me most is how rude the man in charge is and how they talk Vietnamese to one another and you can tell they are discussing their clients. They are ask for cash when you pay, are they paying their taxes and claiming all that CASH? read more

I've been going to First Nails for many years. Kim does my nails excellently each time. I travel and have gotten my nails filled other places and they never are as well done. They don't last as long or hold up as well. I've heard it said that they aren't professional but I think they do s great job communicating. Jeannieo read more

Great pedicure! Very relaxing, got the deluxe package add ons with salt scrub, callous remover, mud mask, and hot stones! All for only $40, money well spent read more

I've been going to First Nails a while now for manicures and pedicures; staff is very kind, services affordable, and facilities cleanly.

The worst! Not sure these providers have ever experienced what a manicure/pedicure actually are. They have one speed...fast....no interest in doing a good job...just hurry to get the next person in the chair. Filed my nails badly, even my toes. I feel sorry for the people of Lake County if they think the culture in this salon bears any resemblance to a real mani/pedi. They think that as long as the polish is on,the job is done. Horrible salon! read more

I used to go awhile ago and they were much better at customer service, I would always get gel nails and pedi, the nails were ok not the best but the customer service was good, has since gone way down hill, had a different tech this last time so rude, I almost walked out in the middle and wish I had the nails are horrible I mean the worst I ever had thick and ugly I need to find a new place to go, and I wish I had gotten this woman's name so I could personally point her out, she was foul. read more

My friend and I have had nothing but good experiences here. I'm extremely fussy about the quality of work and have been getting mani/pedi's most of my adult life. I will drive miles out of my way to get it right. Although I live in Windsor CA, I visit friends up here and try to stop off at First Nails before going home. read more

Only ever get your eyebrows done there. I had a pedicure done there, and ended up getting a toe fungus infection. Never ever again. And if you don't in detail explain to them what you want, you'll just get something random. read more

I recently retired and moved into this area from the Los Angeles area. I was pleased with my experience with a new set on my first experience here. They don't take appts which was great the first time I walked in but very annoying when it's busy and you have to wait about 40 min. The second time I walked into the busy salon and asked for a fill and literally had several women mumble something under their breath in their native language which I felt was rather rude. I felt like I was bothering them or disturbing them. I stuck it out and had decent nails. However, the last time was the final straw for me. It wasn't busy and I came in with all nails intact, however, well past when I should have come in for a fill. She was so rude to me throughout the time she worked on my nails. She insulted me and basically berated me saying I'm retired and have nothing to do so I should have come in sooner. I explained to her that although I may be retired - I have plenty to do! I was furious and really should have left at that point. I won't be going back. When I go into a salon for nails and pedicure - I refer to it as 'me' time.....and expect a pleasant experience of relaxation and enjoyment. Stay away from here unless you want to feel belittled and irritated. Agh. read more
