    This took 2 hours.

    I wanted to like this place so much. Will not be returning. The lady doing my pedicure is so sweet however I have polish everywhere it took 2 hours and to top it off Lee has messed up my nails twice now. Just go to Terrys across the street

    Gel-X classic french nails

    I've been going to Garnet Nails for two years now. I went to so many different nail salons, until I found this one. I absolutely recommend it!! Mindy is my go to girl, however, everyone that works there is super talented.

    nails!

    super quick and affordable mani pedi!! $55 for both with regular polish! super nice and friendly people :)

    Poorly done manicure

    Very bad manicure, got outside the nail with lots of nail polish on my skin :( when I showed them I was unhappy they attempted to fix it but it's not much better :( cut up my cuticles pretty bad too :( very sad I could have done better myself.

    Stopped by Garnet Nails Lounge for a dipped mani and Gel Pedi and was delighted by the results! Jennie worked magic on my feet and fingers. She was definitely an expert and didn't cut too deep into the cuticles like I've had happen before. The whole process was fast when it needed to be but didn't feel rushed. I was also offered complimentary coffee that helped me stay awake in the nice massage chair Would definitely recommend!

    Full set acrylic almond shape french manicure with red shimmer tip on my nails

    I really like this nail salon! The ladies are always very sweet and ask while doing my nails to make sure I like how they are looking, and they've happily changed the color or redone nails for me when I've asked before. For manicures they use the warm towel and lotion at the end, which I also like. The ambiance of the salon is nice too as there are always cute music videos playing and they offer you free drinks, so you can tell they're doing their best to make it a good experience. They also always fit me in when I "walk in," for a manicure or pedicure which is nice too. Also, as an FYI -- they have their own atm inside if you want to give a cash tip. Honestly, I would say the manicure quality is probably really 4/5 stars, but overall I really like this nail salon for all the reasons listed above, and I always have a good experience there, so in total so I'm giving it 5/5 stars! Attached are pictures of the nails I most recently got here for the holidays -- a full set almond shape acrylic gel manicure with red glitter french tip. You can see that a few flakes of the red glitter got left in the nude part of the nail, but I know glitter always gets everywhere and is hard to control & I don't think anyone else would notice that small imperfection so overall I think they look super cute for Christmas!

    Manicure

    This is one of the worst gel manicures I've ever gotten. The polish is thin and almost all of my cuticles are flooded. Unfortunate because I've been going here for a while and have never had this experience. Won't be returning :(

    Cute and short dip - Mindy is the bomb

    Mindy is AMAZING. I have been going to Mindy for years and follow her wherever she goes. This spot is clean and there is friendly service by everyone will 100% be back to her every single time

    First time I got my nails done here with my friend!

    Love love love this place! I've tried a few others in PB, but this is my favorite! The staff is so sweet and they always do an amazing job. I highly recommend them!

    Not any more.. Sandy is gone.. the girls spend time chatting on their phones, not making eye contact and developing relationships with their patrons..I also don't think religion should be brought into the work place.. there is an alter set up with food offerings that the workers frequently kneel in front of.. if they'd pay attention to the patrons they wouldn't need to pray for business.. I won't return!

    My toesies

    My gel toes and regular manicure was amazing! The price is also incredible. Super happy with this place I will be back!

    My girlfriend got her nails done and she loved em so much

Today I walked in without an appointment and was told they were fully booked and to come back in 45 minutes. No problem. I spent the next 40 minutes walking around with my dog nearby and returned exactly as instructed. When I walked back in, they acted like they had no idea who I was and asked how they could help me. After explaining the situation, they told me they "didn't think I was coming back" so they gave my spot away to other walk-ins. That is unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. If you tell a customer to come back in 45 minutes, common sense would say you hold the spot you told them to return for -- especially for someone who has been loyal, tips generously, and actively sends business your way. The complete lack of recognition, accountability, and customer appreciation was honestly insulting. I left immediately and took my business elsewhere. After today, I will never return, and I definitely won't be recommending this place anymore.

    Highly Recommend Sky Nails!…read more I've been coming to Sky Nails for about six months now, and they truly do an amazing job every single time. The entire team pays close attention to detail and never rushes their work--you can really tell they care about their clients and their craft. I get my manicures from Thao and Shelly, and my pedicures from Chi, and I couldn't be happier. Shelly is incredibly artistic and talented. If you're looking for small flowers or detailed nail designs, she is your person! She's also super sweet, friendly, and always makes the experience enjoyable. Chi gives the best pedicures. She has strong hands and gives a deep, relaxing leg and foot massage. I always choose the signature pedicure because it includes a 10-minute massage and paraffin wax for your feet--so worth it! Sky Nails has been open for about a year now, and they are always busy, which says a lot about their quality and service. I definitely recommend making an appointment ahead of time. They have nice massage chairs when you get a pedicure and have 12 of them on both sides with another 10 manicure stations. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and professional nail salon with talented technicians, this is the place to go. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

First off, it's beautifully decorated-- very spacious, bright, and luxurious. They offer you a beverage of your choice which is a really nice touch. It is also super convenient that you can book appointments via their website, I've never had to wait when I booked in advance and they usually have many slots open for same-day appointments. Most importantly the quality of work here is excellent!! I have gotten multiple Gel X sets with designs + pedicures, and they always exceed my expectations and I'm in love with my nails afterwards. All of the staff I've met are super friendly and really take their time + pay attention to detail which I appreciate. (Special shoutout to Shelly and Mimi - they are the sweetest nail techs ever and they made me feel right at home!!) I've always had such a great experience here and can't wait to come back and see them next time I need a new set. Trust me when I say Sky nails is the best in PB and you should absolutely go. I would give it 6 stars if I could! you can thank me later! :)

This is a no-frills nail salon, but Jessica, Tammy, Amy, and Hong will always do you right! I started with the basic mani/pedi ($39) b/c my nails grow so fast and I wasn't really wanting to pay more. Over the last several months, I've transitioned to a gel manicure ($35)/regular pedicure ($25) which is $60 total. A gel pedicure is $38 so total for gel mani/pedi is $73. I don't do the gel pedi b/c I don't have chipping and it lasts, so I still do the regular. When I chat with other girls about how much they spend on their nails, it's mind-blowing to me and half the time, they say their nails aren't what they wanted. I am sure that you will get the best pricing here and have the same quality if not better, and your nails will always last! They always get new colors too to stay with the season and on trend. The quality and pricing is so good that I use it as a monthly "spa" treatment. They don't have all the expensive massage chairs, but these girls give fabulous massages that's just as good, if not better! I always chat with girls while I'm here and a majority of them have also been coming to Essential Nails for years! If you're looking for top level quality, service at unbeatable prices for nails that will last and always look fresh, these girls at Essential Nails will do you right!

The technicians did a nice job overall. The only thing that bothered me was getting rushed to my seat before I picked my colors out. Why does this bother me?

Let me come in, relax, pick out my colors in my own time (like give me 5 minutes if I need to) and then let me sit. I'm paying good money for your services & want to relax from start to finish.

Like it's a nail place - how hard is it to clean it?? I get that she came in just for nail polish, but the other lady that did my other daughter took her time, filed, and did a base coat and was much sweeter to her. The loud one was complaining about dirty nails before she even said HELLO to my daughter. WTH? Then she went to on to comment about my daughters more, and how one has a "brighter" face than the other, etc. Afterwards, they switched out and she painted nails l, but not before commenting about how the nail polish I chose is better for kids than for an adult. My daughters wanted to match with me, so I went with a red glittery nail polish for Val day! Anyways - This is why I don't tell them I'm Viet - I wanna know their professionalism prior to being a regular customer. Unfortunately they didn't pass the test as a group. Holly ruined it. Kim engaged a bit and the younger one didn't say anything. Overall, not recommended.
