    I have been going here for a few months now and Nikki is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her.

    I love Gold Nail Salon! I always get compliments on my nails, and they last well over two weeks. The girls are super friendly, and the salon is always clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

    Clean venue!

    I admit it my feet are not the best. I know that and I am a person who actually attempts maintaining them. I went to one salon and the woman looked at me and said "You Have ugly feet!" It's true that I have feet that were made to perch on a tree branch rather than just walk but don''t shame me. I moved to Placerville in 2016 and I have been going to this salon since because the atmosphere is relaxed and the technicians are kind and polite. They also do an excellent job. I normally get the $45.00 pedicure and the end of the service comes with a hot stone massage. It is amazing and they are perfect when it comes to making sure that you are comfortable. The only reason why I have not given this establishment 5 stars is the parking can be brutal especially when the MacDonalds is busy. In the past 120 days I have almost been hit by impatient drivers that are racing to get into the Drive through and get their full dose artificial hamburgers and fries that will never decay but they will treat their organs like they have been dipped in Formaldehyde. Enough of that rant. This is a great place to get your pedicure.

    I love Golden Nails! The atmosphere is serene and all of the staff are lovely and I have always had excellent service. I take in a photo of what I want the design to be and they always do it so well! I go every 3 weeks for mani pedi and recommend this salon. Wonderful service and always a relaxing experience!

    I really don't understand all the negative reviews but I'll tell you first hand, I LOVE GOLDEN NAILS IN PLACERVILLE! I first came to Golden Nails back in July, while everything was shutdown during the second lockdown. I made an appointment and man they did NOT DISAPPOINT! I headed over on up to Placerville which is about 40 miles up North from Sacramento. Arrived early and was seated promptly. The owner of the salon whose name is Nikki, is so nice! Very nice and accommodating to her customers. She saw my nails and was very impressed by the work of my original nail girl back home in Sac, I explained to her that Sacramento was in lockdown and no nail salons are open at the time. She was very happy that I drove all the way up and took a chance with her. My first time there, I asked for coffin ombre and man Nikki killed it! She took her time, and made sure each nail was in shape, matched each other plus same length! She DOES NOT PLAY when it comes to her work, each nail was immaculate! She took her time and she spent almost an hour and half doing my nails. Most places, they're done with your nails within 34 to 45 minutes! Not Nikki! She makes and made sure my nails were all the same shape and length. I recently went back end of December 2020 for my second visit and she did NOT DISAPPOINT AGAIN! This time I did stilletto almond and she did such a nice job! I got that set done 12/29/20 and today as I write this review 02/15/21, I STILL have them on! Every single one! Even the first set I got done from her in the summer lasted well over a month and half! I also got my full face waxed, and it was done very nicely! To drive up 40 miles for this gem of a salon is worth it! Nice customer service and gorgeous nails, all so worth it! The salon was very clean, and the other girls working there were pleasant as well! I can't speak for the other nail techs that work there but Nikki is the ONE you wanna see!

    This place is incredible. I've been coming here for over three years and my girl Angie is an angel & Kylie too! Nikki and her employees are all amazing and always have a smile on their faces when I'm there. I truly love walking into this zen space and relaxing for the hour.

    Once again my nails are perfect. Thank you Nikki! Perfect length and beautiful color.

    Consistently beautiful work. So happy. Thank you everyone at Golden Nails. Especially Nikki!

    Love me some natural nails with a sharp point.

    Love me some natural nails with a sharp point. I'm always taken care of whether I walk on or call and schedule an appointment. Very talented nail artists! They work very quickly and effects with great gel shades.

    Amazing experience...first time here, looking forward already to my next visit…read more No appt on a Wednesday afternoon and was seated immediately and had an awesome pedicure by Tony! Highly recommended them, everyone working here was relaxed and friendly..just a good vibe unlike some other places I've been to recently.

    My daughter and I had our nails done yesterday at Apple Nails, and I want to start by saying that…read morethe finished results were absolutely beautiful. Both of our nails turned out fabulous! Unfortunately, though, my experience during the service was quite uncomfortable, and I'm paying for it today with extremely sore and painful fingertips. My nail technician was a man wearing glasses. When I sat down, I explained to him that I am a massage therapist and that I am also diabetic. I specifically asked him to please be gentle and careful around my fingers and cuticles because I wanted to avoid any cuts or potential infection. Unfortunately, I felt that my concerns were not taken into consideration. His technique was extremely aggressive, and at one point I had to stop him and tell him that he was being way too rough. I even asked him if he was a carpenter or worked in construction because of how forcefully he was handling my nails. He used a very rough Dremel-type file to prep my nails and repeatedly used the tip of his thumb to press firmly around my cuticles in an attempt to separate the nail glue from my skin. The pressure was quite uncomfortable, and today my fingertips are extremely sore. I want to emphasize that the final results are beautiful, and my daughter's nails look gorgeous as well. I am very happy with how they turned out. Unfortunately, however, I feel that I had to suffer quite a bit physically to get those results. I would have gladly given a 5-star review if my technician had been more attentive to my concerns and had used a much gentler touch. I'm sharing this respectfully because I think the service could have been a much more positive experience if my request for extra care had been taken seriously. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.
