I really just am at a loss for words at this point. Its 50/50 everytime I come in. But this time, she deliberately gave me the wrong color saying silver was a better choice because i'm "so white" Rushed through the process, and left it splotchy and unevenly coated. No cuticle or skin trim... I just can't with this place anymore. read more

Tami always does such a wonderful job on my pedicure, she pays attention to details and is very friendly and very professional

I would recommend never getting your nails done here I just got mine done about three weeks ago, I just had them removed by another nail salon in fort bragg and they realized I had a fungus infection starting, I've always had healthy nails and never have had a fungal infection on my finger nails or toes so please do not go here they are obviously dirty as fuck. read more

Would not recommend First nails, overall does not feel clean. Tools left out on the counter and reused. On top of that while receiving services when you ask questions responses are snarky and rude. If you must go in there I do not recommend Jennie for any service. read more

Horrific experience at first nails! Jennie is rude and makes false claims against clients. She refuses services that are requested by clients and does what she pleases. Left nails with indentions and not filed correctly, when asked to fix she was extremely rude. Never again will I return to first nails after her behavior was condoned. read more

Service is good, the quality of the nails are good too but a couple of my nails are extremely crooked and very noticeably. read more

Finally speaking up about the older woman that was so mad at me. She gave me the worse job on purpose, spoke her language the whole time to all others watching. She made it a point to show she was not happy at me, like she had personal issue? I sat there in disbelief trying not to cause scene. I paid her even tho she did horrible job. I left and cried in the car then came back in after crying. I showed Kevin and he made her fix it. I told him I'd never come back and that I would tell everyone eventually. They don't deserve ONE star. read more

It was my first time coming here, I had asked for short square nails and the guy that was doing it left them crooked. Extremely rude staff

Tina did my pedicure and it was fantastic. I loved how clean and shiny it looked. She left my feet feeling so soft. She was very friendly and made small talk. I overall rate her a 10/10 and would definitely come back to have her service. read more

Worst pedicure ever. Toenails are cut crooked and weren't filed, nail paint job is awful. The guy was rushing to leave and his girlfriend was trying to rush me out well before my nails dried and she was SO rude about it. Ukiah is so TRASHY. This place had the dumbest stuff on the walls and such sad dingy vibe. I would HATE working there as much as I hated being a customer read more

This place is huge with a lot of people hanging around, not sure who is working or not. Asked for a mani pedi and a young girl sat me down right away. While my feet were soaking she started on my manicure. I have never had someone be so rough and in such a hurry to finish. She cut my finger while trimming my cuticles. The massage was basically slathering lotion on and slapping my arms. She went on to the pedicure which was basically the same experience. I had asked for the extra sugar scrub ($5) which felt great but was about a sixty second experience. Whole thing, manicure and pedicure took about thirty minutes. $45, which isn't bad but I'd never go again. One other thing to mention is it's not very clean. Chairs and floors were dirty but the scary thing was I'm not even sure that the tools she used were sterilized. I should have walked out but live and learn. read more

I just paid 88 dollars for a shit/rushed mani-pedi... She Talked shit about 50% of the time, didn't do what I asked while doing my pedi... kept trying to get me to get more done after numerous times of saying no thank you...then she did a shit job on my mani, bubbles on all my fingers, some she didn't even get the nail polish on both sides fully, half are round square like I asked for all my nails to be... I was trying to pamper myself but at almost $100 bucks.. I would have just went and go myself some booze and some new cute nail polish n only spent maybe $50-$60 like it should have been... Very disappointed with kevin and his ukiah shop and staff. read more

I love the way they organize their nail shop. It's beautiful and clean. Their customer service is awesome. I chose dipping powder and Ellie did a good job on my nails. It's the best nail shop in Ukiah and the price is also reasonable. I strongly recommend this nail shop. read more

I've been on the lookout ever since moving to the area a few months ago, looking for an admirable chop shop similar to the one I frequented in San Diego. This is definitely not the like. I have to say the polishing is done well, but everything else was lacking. I sat down in a chair with a broken massage device, and when I tried to tell the nail tech she pretended not to speak English! I decided to add the callus remover to my experience and the lady left a huge gross skin flap attached to my foot. If your going to peel my skin off you should actually take it off. I was sincerely looking forward to a foot massage, but the tech painted my toes before massaging my foot and didn't even touch my foot after. This experience was a huge disappointment to say the least. When the time came to pay I was severely sticker shocked, $30 for the worst pedi I have had in a long time. Thanks for highway robbery, and that's about it. read more

I get acrylic nails done by Emily and every time they last for 3-4 weeks without my nails breaking or feeling weak. You can feel the family vibe here and I enjoy that too. Also, they're super efficient. Emily gets my nails done, beautifully, in 30 min! Incredible! I recommend coming here, I'm going tomorrow :) read more

Ugh. I should've read the reviews before coming here. The girl who did my mani/pedi was the worst I've had..She asked if I wanted the massage. Really?! Of course! She only scrubbed my heels for like five seconds.. Overall, I was not happy. Oh wells.. read more

20+ year client. I get my pedicures and my lashes done here and have never had a bad experience. Lisa does my pedicures and she's the absolute best. read more

So here is my story. I went in to get a set of nails a little over a month ago. I asked the guy to please put the acrylic on thin instead of glob it on there like The Glob from the horror show. Well, it wasn't thin but it was better than most so....I had them on for just about a month and so I was really ready to get them off. Did you know that they charge you $40 to take them off??!! Unbelievable. So I get sat at this lady's station who is so distracted I am wondering if I should request her license. Anyway, without soaking the nails or softening them up first, she just starts ripping them off and it was hurting pretty bad but she would just say "oh did that hurt I sorry". Well when she was done with that I only had a very thin layer of my nails, all of them, left. I told her I wanted rounded nails and she started to do them squared off. I have had nails done off and on for 45 years and I have never been treated so badly before. Never will I go there again. She kept trying to get me to just get a fill. She didn't want to take them off. She had to put the gel polish on because the nail bed was so damaged. That cost $15 by its self. Good luck to you if you go there. LTaylor read more

DONT GO HERE! Save yourself the hassle. The one star is purely for their friendliness. Unfortunately friendliness doesn't do a good pedicure. And unfortunately friendliness doesn't clean their place! I feel like they powered through our pedicures as if it were a competition. The woman whom did my mothers pedi would not stop trying to up sell her. She said "basic regular pedicure" 5 times. They slathered me up with oil so much so that my jeans have oil stains in zebra like lines since they were rolled up. So now I'm out a new pair of jeans. My feet probably only sat inside water for a combined total of 3 whole minutes. The chairs and everything was so dirty when I was looking at it I regretted being there. I never know what to do in these situations. Leave and stop the whole thing? Cuz I wanted to. When we went to pay I seriously thought it would be like $14-20 for what we got and they said $27. I was shocked but paid it and even tipped $3 each even tho I really really did not want to. I'm just nice. My toe had been sore since getting in the car and I hope nothing comes of it. read more

I love this place. I always receive the best treatment and love the staff here. Everyone is so knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and expert at what they do. Emily and Kevin are the owners and they are superb.thanks to Emily- I highly recommend a mani & pedi here!!

I had a deluxe pedicure and manicure there. Pedicure was nice except she used old polish which did not dry. My toenails got smudged one hour later. The manicure was very bad and cost $25.00. I will never go back. read more

So totally my bad- I left AirPods here. Totally forgot I had them. But after being moved 3 different times because apparently they can only do simple nail design... I left Them at one of the stations - I call Kevin the next morning as I left the salon at 2 and didn't realize I had even left them until about 9pm. He says he doesn't see them, so I decide to come down and leave my phone number just Incase someone turns them in (wishful thinking) he makes it seem like an inconvenient situation that I wanted to leave my phone number. Sooo let's get To the nail review I ask for a not very complicated nail design I included pictures just a shitty situation and will Not be giving these guys any more business- so if you know of a salon or nail tech that can actually do nail design, ombré and keep up with fashion and that won't treat you like crap after you spent $50 for garbage nails that your 8 year old could have done- please let me know read more

I went there yesterday 10/16/16 and at first I sat down with a really nice girl, but then some lady walked in and she said her brother had to work on them. Well right off the bat he said I had fat hands, then I showed him a picture of the nails I wanted and they look NOTHING like it, his sister got the colors and glitter and he refused to do it as in the picture. Then he kept complaining about late customers and coming in late. I told him my nails were not even and he disregarded it completely. Not coming here again. $45.00 down the drain. read more

I came into Lakeport Store and was treated very good she quoted me at $50- there advertisement was "Pedi and Mani" $35- However, I wanted gel only on my nails. When we were finished I tipped her $10. Making my entire experience $60. At that very instant her service changed to almost disgust as if I had done something wrong... I mention, I had only brought $60..she suggested that I go to my bank.. I was shocked. @18% its $5.00 tip. I gave her $10 In my opinion, how rude (we're all working class women deserving to be feel fresh and pampered.) I then mentioned would get her next time.. She said, there would not be a next time. I said, you got that right lady! Bummer.. I left not feeling happy. read more

Dirty, Dirty, DIRTY!!!!! I went for apedicure, The tech reached in a draw while giving my pedi. Took an instrument out, scraped under my toe nail & returned the instrument back to the drawer. Employees seating around looking at their cell phone instead of cleaning stations, floors cieling fans. It's disgusting. read more

I got the manicure and pedicure special. The guy who did both was not careful at all. He didn't pay attention on the manicure, he just wanted to finish it and didn't even apply the enamel to the whole nail. His attitude was not very kind either. Maybe he was not having a good day but if I pay to have a service done I expect at least a good job. read more

Eww! Dirty, absolutely filthy i wouldnt be surprised if someone if not multiple people have contracted some sort of disease or fungus from this disgusting place. I dont even know if the people working there are legal and certified. The place is absolutely by far the dirtiest place i have been in. Health department needs a call! For your safety just go somewhere else. There were no certifications anywhere, there was old moldy food on the floor. I watched them go from doing one pedicure to doing someone's manicure without washing their hands! Eww! Dust and dirt grime and food and nail clippings everywhere; even on the seats. I was in shock! read more
