Glow Nails & Spa - gel-x manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I found Glow Nails through Yelp (thanks, Yelpers!) and really loved it. It's a bit of a hidden gem, tucked away in an easy-to-miss parking lot off La Cumbre. The overall aesthetic is super cute and relaxing - you don't even feel like you're right off a busy road. The pedicure chairs were incredibly comfortable and relaxing. We did have to move to different stations for our manicures, which was a bit inconvenient, but not a huge issue. The staff was pretty quiet and not overly friendly, but they did a good job and everything turned out great. Overall, we enjoyed our time and I'd definitely come back. read more

My experience at Glow Nails & Spa was the best nail experience I've ever had!! I've been to many other salons, but Glow Nails & Spa has topped them all!

I called in for a last minute appointment. I was able to get a pedicure appointment right away. I got the deluxe pedi, nice technician, nice massage chairs, decent color selection. However, the nail trimming and nail polish job was terrible; my toe nails are uneven and not shaped the same way and my toe nails weren't painted properly. These pictures were taken as soon as I got to my hotel. 10 mins after leaving the salon. I wish I had noticed how bad they were, these are embarrassing, they don't look like I got my toes painted by a technician, I can do a better job than this. read more

Kudos for this nail salon being open on a Monday. Make sure to pull into the Hertz Car Rental driveway as the salon is at the far end of the lot. Reviews from Google were amazing. I had John work on my gel mani & pedi- and he was phenomenal. I always like to be a first walk in customer of the day- and Glow accommodated me. After my pedi was done, John began to work on my manicure. While he was removing my calluses- he simply said, "I'm sorry if I'm taking too long. I want it to be perfect." It took me by surprise. And I replied back w/ a lil laugh, "No need to apologize. I respect that you are taking your time because you want your work to reflect you." Although cash is preferred here- but, you will be charged a 3% fee of paying by card. Dang (the owner) politely points to a sign by the card reader. read more

I called at 10:10am wanting a gel pedicure. A man on the phone said come into at 10:30am. I arrive at 10:30am and there's 2 customers getting a pedicure. He looks at me confused and says I don't have an appointment for you. I told him I just got off the phone with (I assume him) and told him I had an appointment. He walks over with the book schedule and my appointment was not written in. He then asks if I could come in at 1pm. I told him no because I have an appointment to get my oil changed. Clearly I won't ever return here because he lied to me over the phone and wasted my time. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Mani-pedi with Richie. You will not be disappointed. His work is exceptional paying attention to detail and wanting you to relax!

Decided to give glow nails & spa a try after seeing lots of glowing reviews and looking for a place that was open on a Monday (which is fairly hard to come by!). I called earlier in the day and was able to get a same day appointment for 2 pedicures. The salon is pretty small with lots of plants decorated throughout. It's nothing super special but overall was a fine environment. My mom had a pretty good experience with her nail tech, he was fairly gentle, gave a good massage, and did a base coat, 2 coats of color, and a top coat. She was happy with her experience. My experience on the other hand was less than ideal. The tech seemed rushed as he went through the process. When he started the cuticle process it was painful! Multiple toes bled while he was "cleaning things up" and he never really skipped a beat and instead acted like nothing happened. When he got to painting my nails he rushed through it, a quick base coat and then 2 coats of color and then quickly moved on to go to another customer. Not long after someone came and put my shoes on and told me we were done. It wasn't until right after we left that I realized he completely skipped a top coat. Looking at my nails the paint is uneven, there are a few bubbles under some of the nails and it looks like I'll be putting my own top coat on. I'll be skipping the Monday nails and going back to my more tried and true salons. At $38 per pedicure this was a less than ideal experience. read more

I came in looking for Japanese gel, and they gave me a hard gel manicure because I wanted something that would last. My manicure has lasted 3 weeks and counting and it still looks great. No chips, and even though my nails are growing and I have cut them, my nail color is still on and chip free. I will definitely be returning. read more

I went to get my nails done Tuesday, thought they did a really good job even though they messed up my friends. It's now Friday the same week, one popped off when I went to pick up a package and 6 nails are catching in my hair and lifting and it's been less than a week. For 75 dollars and being a broke college student, I am very disappointed and upset. I will not be returning. There are many other places that charge the same price and have last over a month. Very disappointing. read more

I've got to say I'm usually scared to try new nail salons, but I couldn't be happier with my first experience with Glow nails today. Everyone there was so sweet, and my nail tech really made sure I got exactly what I wanted for my nails, she would mix colors to get the perfect shade, she kept making sure I was happy with the shape as well (usually I'm scared to ask for an alteration) but they were so responsive and sweet about absolutely everything. And the price is so low for such great results I was shocked. I told them it was my birthday and they brought out a candle and a snack with balloons which was unbelievable thoughtful. Overall just an amazing experience I highly recommend. read more
