I absolutely love this shop! The owners are a very nice couple who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the service they provide. My mother and I went in this past Monday (7/4) and enjoyed pedicures. We were the only ones... of course it was a holiday so I wasn't expecting there to be much foot traffic. It was a perfect "mother daughter day". Our pedicures included a mask, scrub, massage, and hot rocks! I have to say, this has been the best place I've gone to for a pedicure. The massage alone has me wanting to go back. Best massage at a nail shop by far. Definitely going back! read more

I called on a Sunday evening wondering if they were still taking clients. I was quickly told yes of course.. I walked in and yes it was busy. I ultimately wanted to get my pedicure AND nails done for a family photo shoot the following day. But considering they're closing soon I only asked for a Pedicure. I was greeted with a warm smile from this lady named Mary. Mary handed me a cold bottle of water and a warm heated neck pad(omg) I was immediately relaxed. Mary was very attentive, thorough, polite, gentle, and professional with her work. -I -admit I haven't had a pedicure for quite sometime I know. Halfway through my pedicure, it's past 7 and Mary noticed my nails were bare and untouched. -She politely asked would you like your nails done? Past closing time and almost 8pm and every nail technician is still working on their clients. With smiles! I got my nails and Mary had me set for my photo shoot. Crazy how things work without mentioning anything I'm definitely coming back and I highly recommend this place. SEE MARY! read more

So, today was my first time at Friendly Nails and they were absolutely amazing! Their service was impeccable. The way I wanted to design my nails were quite intricate, but the owner (didn't catch their names) did it perfectly, she definitely has skill. The lady I had was very sweet, although it was Christmas Eve and I last-minutedly called in to do a mani-pedi with my BFF, she did not rush me at all even though her "Honey" (Husband) was waiting for her. :P The owner tried to take over her and said in their native language, "Here, let me paint her nails. I'll do it faster, then we can all leave." Her: "No, it's alright. If you want to leave, then go. Leave the keys and I'll close the store tonight" and took her time doing my nails perfectly. Although, I got the basic mani-pedi w/ Gel Nails & Design ($57- All Nails designed) the massage was amazing. Felt awesome having them massage my arms & legs! Cons: They don't speak English, well. (I Speak and understand their language.) Their price is kind of expensive, lol. Everything definitely adds up! But depending on design (the price may be worth it!!) :p Their store was very cute! And, I will definitely be coming back again for my next mani-Pedi . I would absolutely recommend this place! Me and my BFF had a good time, experience, and satisfied with their skill. - I would give them all 5 stars if the owner didn't tease me (Constantly, my entire visit.) about my broken-Vietnamese (due to me pretending I didn't know how to speak, so they wouldn't ask me a bunch of questions.) Lol. & didn't rush the lady doing my nails. read more

First and last time I go here. I went bc i wanted a simple full set. (short square acrylic) and everything that could go wrong did. one lady refused to work on me which is fine. The second lady started doing my nails by filing with tools that were in a soiled container and didn't t bother changing the file she placed the tips and they were popping off bc the glue was dried she said that was normal she didnt bother filing the tips and it clearly shows that its not filed with the acrylic over lay and when she placed the acrylic she didnt even use monomer she used acetone which made the acrylic watery and took forever to dry she couldn't shape the nails properly and then instead of filing the cuticle area she stuck her nail into it and cut me read more

I'm very picky about my nails. Tina did a great job!! Very happy with the work and I will be back!

Undoubtedly the most unfriendly place I've been. Started off by letting the woman know I'd already shaped my nails and didn't want them filed further... so she files them anyways and changes the almond shape to a very short round, I told her I'd pay her but that I don't want her to continue my manicure, any ways the other two ladies keep along why I don't like it and if they can fix it. I politely decline but they continue to touch my hands and insist they fix them and again I say no I'm really not interested and they continue to insist which is just really upsetting read more

I love coming to friendly nails. I usually get my nails done with Annie. The other ladies are good too. All are super friendly and you know they don't try and get over on ya! Service is always nice. They make my husband feel welcomed every time he comes with me. They'll let him sit on the pedi chair and use the massage chair next to me. read more

I've been going here for a while now and all the ladies are nice and always do an awesome job. My fav is the owner Rita. :) read more

As I was driving to another nail spot to get my manicure and pedicure, I noticed this place in the borders complex. I quickly checked the review, it was 4.5 star. Hmm. I should have questioned myself whether 31 reviews were good enough to walk into the nail salon. To my dismay the AC was not working at this spot. And when I asked they said we are turning it ON. After sitting there for few minutes they gave me the fan since I was pregnant and feeling super hot.and they offered bottle water. They use clean bags for each customer. They did a great job on the pedicure but I was not quite impressed with the way my hands nail paint was done. They were in a rush to help out other customers since several people were waiting. The nails paint looks strange. Thick on certain sides. I would say, this place is fairly reasonable price and friendly customer service just like the name. read more

It started off well, they seated me and a lady started doing my pedi and then the guy - I didn't get his name - started doing my gel manicure and when he was cleaning my thumb he clipped my skin and now it's hurting and throbbing so bad. He didn't even apologize when it happened he acted like nothing happened. Then u showed him it was bleeding and he put alcohol on it. He didn't offer me a discount or any apology. I really wanted to like this place but the customer service is off. The bad review is mainly for the guy. read more

Jojo did an amazing job on my nails. I had her do dip nails with holographic on the tips. She was precise and paid special attention to detail. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Absolutely love getting my nails done here and have been coming to Friendly nails for about 3 years and never looked for another nail salon since. Their name is friendly nails because they truly are friendly! Always so nice and they gave good prices! I personally get gel set of acrylics, eyebrows and pedicures done by Jojo and definitely recommend her. She will take her time if you're not in a hurry and does her best every time. Jojo is so sweet and she's never let me go home disappointed. read more

Jojo and the staff are so friendly and professional. They are being so covid careful and value their customers. The shop is clean

They did nothing I asked for they are horrible and they hurt me and they cut me they did my nails all bumpy and they got paint everywhere and they stepped on my toe while it was still drying read more

Came here just for brow and lip waxing and finally! A place that doesn't break me out. all their stuff is clean and I didn't notice the woman helping me double dip the wood into the wax which probably why I didn't break out. Oh and my brows came out exactly how I like. Thanks friendly nails! read more

This place is awesome if you are looking for people who are kind and do not rush through your pedicure!! Lin is amazing :)

Service was friendly. Treatment was nice and with care. Prices with description of each treatment was clearly described.

The employees are super nice, and they give the BEST foot/leg massages with the pedicures! And only $20 for a spa pedicure that was amazing! Today is the first time I've been here, and I'm definitely coming back! read more

I visited Friendly Nails on July 26th. The experience was wonderful. My pedicure/manicure was done by 2 very experienced and friendly ladies. Both took their time and treated me with respect. Ask for JoJo or Linh to get a great experience. The salon is clean, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. I will return and invite family and friends. read more

This was my first visit to Friendly Nails and it was the worst experience. I don't like leaving negative reviews but felt I had to share my experience since I rely heavily on other reviews to decide if I will try a place or not. Many of the other reviews seemed okay and I really thought this would be a nice place to try after reading all the other reviews. So I arrived at 9a but I guess they actually don't open til 9:30a but no one showed up until 9:45am on a Wednesday morning. I went on August 16th. I went with a friend. JoJo did my friend's pedicure and I got Nina (if that's even her real name). I was not happy at all with Nina's service. She rushed through my pedi. I think I was done in less than 15 minutes. I got the Classic pedi it says $25 on the price list because I needed the exfoliation but I think I actually received just the Basic. The exfoliation was nothing and I barely got a few minutes of a massage. I was watching JoJo work on my friend's and thought she was doing a great job and took her time with my friends pedi. I felt like was being cheated since I was already done and just sitting there watching. If you want to try this place be sure you don't get Nina maybe ask for JoJo. There was another client waiting and I felt she rushed through my pedi just to get to the other client which really pisses me off since I'm a paying client as well and I came for a service. Maybe she felt since I was already sitting in a chair she was afraid the other client would leave she would rush through me before the other lady left? JoJo offered to only charge the Basic pedi which is $20. I think she may have been the owner even though I asked her but she denied she was. She apologized but I was already extremely disappointed with my experience here and definitely will not be coming back. read more

Me and my friend went into friendly nails. I have never had my nails hurt to much. Two of them are bleeding and my nails are all different lengths. My friend didn't even get her nails done because the lady filed her nails off when she said that she didn't want them filed because she had them just how she wanted them. read more

I went back today with 2 of my coworkers. I had a different nail technician from my first visit and he was equally fantastic!!! Both times I have been here the staff has been very friendly! I love that they take their time with their services, I really have not experienced that at any other nail salon. This salon is VERY clean and I really appreciate that. Unlike other places, I have never felt that they were talking about me while doing my nails and today they probably could have, totally forgot to have my legs shaved (sorry nail tech!!). They are very focused on their job. I really cannot say enough good about this place. I LOVE this nail salon!! Thank you Friendly Nails!!! read more

I would say this is a happy get away from the day to day grin. Very friend staff. Paid 80$ TOTAL for a medi pedi.

I've been here 3 times now and I have to say this is one of the cleanest nail salons I've been too! The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. I don't understand why they aren't busier! I will definitely be coming here from now on! read more

I received great service from Tina! Very nice and was not aggressive with my feet! This was my first time here! Luckily we had found this open compared to 5 others which were closed on July 4th, but overall great service! Also I realize that Tina remembers names, which is a big one up in this industry! read more

It was my first time here and the place was great. The chairs were all new and They were inviting. The best part about my whole manicure/pedicure experience was the hot pillow that they give you for the back of your neck while sitting in the massage chair. I got the reverse French manicure and at first the lady was taking her time, But as soon as more customers came she started to rush. She forgot to massage one hand, and some of the French tips were crooked. Also, right when I came in, I asked if They had matching Polish for their gel colors. They said They Did. After my manicure and pedicure I noticed that my toes were darker than my finger nails and that bugs me when my nails do not match. I'll probably go back and ask for a different lady and try it again for the second time. read more

The people at Friendly Nails are truly friendly. I've only been in there four times now, but they recognize me and make me feel like an old friend. They are thorough but gentle, and I am always pleased with the result. An added bonus-they speak fairly good English :-) I feel like I am able to communicate with them quite easily.I have tried many nail salons in the area but this is by far the best. read more

I am not one to get my nails done on the regs. I'm that person who is bored and swings by to get their nails because why not? I'm hella overweight with questionable nail health. This place rocks. I didn't feel judged; I felt appreciated, in all honesty, as I didn't make a fuss about an accidental smudge or waiting for a few minutes. I wanted to chill and be a bit pampered and this place delivered. Note: (And this goes for any business) Remember that these people are cleaning your nails for a living. Don't be a dick. Seriously. Some of the shit I've witnessed this team put up with is unbelievable. They are not babysitters or verbal punching bags. Sit back. Relax. And chill, breh. If your self-esteem revolves around your nail art don't blame the artist when you don't like what you see. That's you, boo. read more

I was a little nervous coming in for the first time, because with nail salons you don't know what to expect. I walked in and immediately had such a relaxing vibe, which is exactly what I want when I get my nails done. It should not be like the dentist. They told me they would be with me as soon as they finished another lady. This one super nice and friendly lady started the massage chair for me while I waited. It felt SOOOO good, and they did my nails so perfect. I was comfortable and they were super friendly like the company name. I loved the way my nails turned out and really couldn't ask for much more. They knew what they were doing I could tell. They fixed my nails that someone messed up on from the day before. OMG I will be coming back for sure and I want to show my friend this place. I have wanted to find a nail place in the Sacramento area where I like spending my money. I think I found it. I LOVE MY NAILS! Thank you so much! A+ I will be back! read more

Friendly Nails - With gel glitter. I love them! Thank you! - Nail Salons Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Love everything about this place: great customer service, clean, on time when I have an appointment, great service, super terrific gel pedicures, gel and or pink and white manicures/fills always look fresh and just done plus they last 2-3 weeks. I love Tina, the gal who has been doing my nails since early 2016. She is an absolute joy, used to be the shop owner and now is an independent nail tech. She texts me appointment reminders, gives me advance warning if she has to change my time or is running early or late, giving me ample time to get there. She's creative and always adds a little "sparkle" or design to make my nails look different, I like this. Pricing is moderate and worth it. I text her with my time frames and availability for my next appointment, and she responds back. I also like that when she's doing my nails, she's focused on that rather than talking on the phone, chatting to the other gals. It's not that I mind but she's there for me. The salon is conveniently located with ample parking, set access. The salon is fairly quiet except for music. Some places are LOUD, this one is not. I'm 100% satisfied with Tina. If she were to leave, I'd follow her to wherever she went to work. read more

Absolutely love this nail salon!! Went every two weeks for close to three years. Very friendly, professional place and EVERYONE working there takes their time and does an amazing job!! If I had moved cross country I would still be going every two weeks. read more

My first time here and loved the experience. I came in close to closing but they were willing to stay late and do both a mani and pedi! Tina and Jojo were nice to speak with and very funny. After a rough work week it was exactly what I needed! read more

This was my first time here. Came in for pedicure. Got seated right away. The staff were friendly. But the person who did my pedicure is amazing. She did such an amazing job. She has so much patience and she is passionate about her job. She took her time to do my pedicure. See Ela or bea. They're really good. read more

After raving about this place to a girlfriend, we decided to meet there and get mani pedis. I have had nothing but great service, until this visit. My friend asked for a zebra design and when she tried to show the lady, she insisted she knew what to do....she ended up with leopard. I never had the chance to ask for any design, and was told I was done even though there was polish on my skin. Very sloppy job and not worth the money. By the time our pedicures were done (2 hours) we didn't have time for our manicures. When we told them we had to go to pick up our kiddos, they got this disgusted look on their face and rushed us out. Not sure if either one of us will be coming back....even though I love the owner Rita and her work, she is always busy when I go in... read more

Ugh! It was so expensive! Just to get my nails done. Not even the worst part, the lady who did my nails screwed up on color THREE TIMES!! She tried to give me a hideous puce and straight to my face TOLD ME I LIED!!! Are you kidding me?? She was so insulting! And when I told the owner, she said her employee said something in Vietnamese! She looked flustered when she said it like SHE WAS THE ONE LYING!! read more

I went to some lady don't remember her name but my nails broke off two days after I got them. I went back and Rita fixed them for me and now four days after that they broke again. I have never had this happen to me and have been getting my nails done for years. She said she would fix them but this is a big inconvenience. I will not be coming back here! read more

Rita did my fill and pedi. I must say I was extremely satisfied with her work! I've waited a few days to see how they held up before I reviewed and they are still just as lovely. Glad I found this place, I will be returning! read more
