I came to Gorgeous Nails today for the first time and had the BEST experience! The woman who did my pedicure did such a perfect job; she didn't hurt me, didn't make my nails crooked, and was so sweet. The woman who did my fill took her time, cut away my cuticles (which most salons don't do for a fill), and gave me a great shape to my nail. What made this place stand out was it was CLEAN, the staff was kind and not grumpy, and they took their time to make sure my nails looked good. They also play very relaxing music- it was pleasant. I will warn you, both my pedicure and fill together took about 2 hours. But I don't mind. I'll for sure be back. Thank you Gorgeous Nails! read more

I love Gorgeous Nails. I've been getting my nails done there for many years now and I would never switch to another salon. They always do a wonderful job. Ami, Demi & Helen have all provided excellent service & are very skilled, kind & conscientious women. I highly recommend Gorgeous Nails! read more

3.5/5 stars. Got a gel French manicure. The French tip was thin as requested and looked nice overall. I'm subtracting 1/2 star due to it not lasting as long as usual. A gel manicure usually lasts me at least 2 weeks, but after I got it done here it started chipping at day 8. Service was a bit slow, but that's to be expected at most nail salons. I came on a Saturday at 9:03am (they open at 9). Didn't get out the door till 10:30 am. I had an okay experience here, but probably will try another salon next time. read more

My daughter needed her eyebrows waxed and Gorgeous Nails is next to my house so I called. Lady was nice who answered the phone. Luckily she was able to get us in that day. When we arrived we didn't have to wait long for us to go back to the waxing room. The girl who did my daughter's eyebrows was super friendly!! Unfortunately I forgot to get her name , next time. She did such an amazing job! Like perfect! My daughter loves her eyebrows , it put a huge smile on her face. Which makes me very happy :) Business was clean and prices were reasonable. I would love to come back and get a mani pedi. I'm definitely only coming here for waxing. read more

Update as of 10/27/21: It has been a minute since I made a review for this nail salon so I figured now was a great time to update due to my most recent visit today. My experiences here have always been amazing and it is great to work with all the staff here. My girlfriend was looking to get a wax done for underarms and I recommended her to come here. We called ahead of time and got in touch with the owner Diemmy. She was so kind and accommodating with our schedule that she managed to squeeze us in 10 minutes from our phonecall. 10 MINUTES!!! At first I thought it was because maybe their shop was slow on a Wednesday evening, but upon walking in I see that every staff technician has a customer. Diemmy immediately got us set up in the back room waxing station. I got kicked out of the room for privacy reasons, but my girlfriend said the whole experience was fantastic. As someone who has never done a wax before she felt very safe, informed, and satisfied of the whole process. She said Diemmy was very professional and made sure she was comfortable enough during the course. The wax wasn't too hot and aftermath was bearable. The price was inexpensive and super affordable. Overall, great experience and she says she will come back for all her future waxing services! read more

Customer service was subpar. While saying no to me (for a 5 minute task) they looked right behind me and asked the person behind me if they could help her. Needless to say, it made me feel that my business did not belong there. read more

I've been going there over 10 years. This is my first Review! The management is professional & very friendly. But, my girl is Helen! Helen does my nails & pedicures. She makes sure every thing is clean! I've had nail tips, gel and regular manicures. I like it when Helen remembers my name "Denise" as well as remembering my touchy spots on my feet too, eh? Lol. She gives a very good hand massage & her #3 pedicure is Absolutely WONDERFUL! Her foot massage lasts longer than most which makes all the difference! It's like truly a Spa experience. To me Helen gives excellent service & I've observed the other friendly staff is worth the visit to their clients as well. The cost is reasonable. Be sure to tip for good service! read more

I have been going here for several years and they have been fine, but my recent visit was very disappointing. I went with my daughter who is an adult. We had an appointment. They didn't put water in my daughter's basin for the pedicure, she waited for over a half hour as 4 other people that walked in after were taken care of. We mentioned this, and they didn't care. The lady helping me proceeded to do a rush job on me that was very sloppy. There was not a friendly vibe, and I will be looking for a new nail salon. read more

Went to this place for the first time the other day. Decided to check it out based on all of the amazing reviews, and sadly my experience was nothing like anyone else's who comes here. The second I walked in the door I felt very unwelcome. EVERYONE stared at me and made me feel so uncomfortable. Then, I had to wait while other walkins came and got seen before me because those clients were known on a first name basis. Now for my manicure, great color, but one of my nails on my right hand is already chipped and it's only been like 4 days or so since they've been done. Very disappointed in this place and definitely will NOT be returning. $80 for this?? I would want a refund! read more

I was in Modesto to get my car worked on and needed something to do while I waited. This was the best gel manicure I've had in a long time! Lasted 3 weeks! Also had a pedicure that was luxurious! read more

Amy is the best! She treated my elderly mother with the utmost respect and dumid a beautiful job on her nails.

Visited this place for the second time this past week and I have definitely found my regular nail place! First time I had a shellac manicure, a deluxe pedicure and full face wax. I was very impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. I have been getting pedicures and my nails done for 25 years now, and this place is top notch. Everything was well maintained and clean. Went back for a shellac manicure this past week and again received excellent service. read more

Gorgeous Nails - Beautiful job on my shellac manicure! Love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Modesto, California

This place is by far the best in manicure and pedicure! I have been coming here for years, there was a different owner back then and it was cash only, some of the ladies here back then did an amazing work, others not so great... BUT with the new owner they kept the really good ones and brought some good quality nail ladies too! I tried many different salons because this one is a little far from home and i Cant find one that comes close to this one. Not kidding here! So i drive 40 minutes to this little awesome place. Nails last over 3 weeks or more if you want to keep them longer, they dont break, chip, scratch, they stay intact!!!! The ladies here do an exceptional job, they make sure the whole nail is color, they don't miss a spot or put too much. Just perfect! All the ladies here do an excellent job, there is no need to find the one because all are awesome! I have tried them all and my bails always last forever! Fiy: for tips bring cash. read more

I started coming here faithfully for the last 11 years. I started coming on a regular basis for the last 10 years with my daughter.... she was months old at the time... and now 10! We love spending time together and enjoy the quality pedicures here. I started opting for GEL coatings and boy does it last!!! Foot Massages are great and include hot stones...quick but nice. Pedicure is about $20 or $25 I can't remember..... Cash for tips. They do get busy on the weekends... I try to go right when they open. read more

hi this salon very rude.you make appointment they make you wait 30 with appointment already.not very professional. I don't recommend i give 2 stars read more

Not pleased with my pedicure, the lady didn't cut them short like I asked TWICE. And my polish came out so uneven, I was so irritated because the water was also cold and I asked if she could make it hotter and she turned it on for like 10 seconds, didn't even make a difference. NOT HAPPY, wanted to ask for a discount because my experience was not pleasant. Don't bother going here read more

I had an appointment for a pedicure and arrived on time. I was seated at a station. Four women arrived after me and receive pedicures before me. These women did not have an appointment. I let the people know I had an appointment, and I arrived before the other four women, they did nothing about it. I would not recommend this salon. They were not considerate of their customers and their time. read more

Not bad. The staff can be really sweet. My acrylics didn't turn out great though. Certainly not 50 dollar quality. Closer to 30. Part of them already broke off. The color went under the nails. And they chipped the next morning. read more

I have reviewed this location before and would like to add more information. The owners added new fixtures, which are nice. However, they need to review these recommendations: *Don't answer phone when with a customer *Floors and baseboards are dirty (get Bissell Crosswave to Scrub Floors) *No Vietnamese in shop, unless worker only speaks Vietnamese *All wall postings to be uniform *Chairs dirty, particularly the bases *Stations and shop are reverting to being cluttered *Plastic shields dirty and not part of regular cleaning *Seems like too many color choices and colors are not fresh *Sign to put all phones on silent and enforce this rule *Regular person to answer phones and schedule appts. *All customers should be groomed to schedule next appt. *Phone etiquette for speaking to customers, which includes no speaker phone when talking to customers *Don't get hot stones for another person, the rocks cool too quickly I like coming here and hope they continually improve. read more

I had initially left this review while I was still in the salon getting my nails done, Clean place and the ladies are very nice! Pay attention to details and let you take your time in picking a color." While I was getting my pedicure done I had noticed the salon owner was walking around and showing something on her phone to her employees who were helping other customers. They were speaking in their own language and as the owner got closer I noticed she had my Yelp profile picture zoomed in on her screen and what she was reading was my initial review I had posted while still there. She did not realize that was me until I said something and she was clearly embarrassed. She then had the nerve to ask me to change how many stars I left because four or five stars looks better for business. Needless to say I thought I had found my new nail place because the lady who did help me was very sweet and did a good job but thanks to their owner and her lack of professionalism and common sense I will be going somewhere else. read more

Had been going here for over 7 years now and sadly this past year the service has not been great. They currently have a woman working there who does not seem like she is certified to be doing the work and she has no idea what she is doing. She does the sloppiest work and all the other employees are constantly having to hover over her to see what she is doing and or translating for her. Sad to say won't be returning after so many years. Waste of time and money. read more

This is my go to salon for pedicures. The staff is professional and accommodating. Because of the popularity of this salon, I always try to make an appointment and go during less busy days and times. Last week, I forgot to take my personal bottle of nail polish with me after my pedicure. I went back the following day thinking it might have just gotten placed on the shelves, but it hadn't. The nail tech had written my name on it, set it aside, and knew when I walked in the next day why I had returned. That's pretty amazing! I highly recommended this salon. read more

The nail techs do a great job here. I get gel manicures and regular pedicures, so I can't speak for the other services, but I'm always happy with the quality of the nail services that I receive. Staff is friendly and it's best to make an appointment. read more

Came in here at 12:06pm to see if I could get a fill, lady there tells me there to busy and I can't be seen till 5pm How are these people so busy when there were are only 2 people getting work done, plus one of the women where pretty much close to getting done . This was my first time in this shop and IT Will FORSURE BE MY LAST TIME!!! Would give this 0 stars if I could If your looking for a professional nails shop go to vanessa's nail spa....should of just went there in the first place read more

Staff are Very accommodating but very careless. I have had my nails done three times. Twice for acrylic fills and one time for acrylic removal and polish. Last two times all my fingers had cuts on them from the emery board. I don't think a manicure and polish should be painful for a week after. I will not go back. read more

Such an amazing salon, I love coming with my mum & sister for some quality girl time. Everyone is always so very kind & welcoming not to mention my my gel manicure is going 3 weeks strong with no breaking or cracking of my gel polish. I also love the fact they don't sand my natural nails down to nothing-ness in order to put on the gel polish. *Fun fact - The prices are super reasonable, only $25. Bucks for a gel manicure. Like you totally can't beat that! read more

It's that time of the month again. No, I don't mean a visit from Aunt Flo. It's pedi time! Yay! I love pedicures like most girlie girls do. They are a must especially during open toe season, which for me is all year round. I practice yoga and the feet are always on display. I can't stand it when my pedi starts looking a little tired. Ick. I headed over to Gorgeous Nails after work today to freshen up the ol' tootsies a bit. I noticed some major signage in the form of a banner out front of the store. "Manicure & Pedicure Special $26". I practically ran in the store (not an easy feat when wearing Havaianas) almost knocking down a few kiddies heading to their ka-rah-tay lessons. I had a wonderful mani/pedi experience today. Sooo relaxing. Love pretty feet and hands. The nail techs are so sweet and friendly. They always recognize me which makes me feel good. It's like Cheers where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came (minus the cocktails of course). ;) read more

i would like to first say i don't usually write a review but this experience pushed me to let you guys know ITS NOT WORTH COMING HERE i called earlier in the day to see if they are free for a party of 6 which they said they were it was for 5 pedis and 1 acrylics set but when we came in we were rushed and didn't get the full professional experience the lady who did our pedi is named tina (which i think she gave me a fake name knowing that we weren't happy at the end of the experience) she over cut all our toes and did a messy sloppy painting job and some of us didn't even get scrubbed or hot towels they were just rushing us to get quick money but as a paying customer we were not satisfied and when asked to redo or fix something we were given attitude or we got laughed in the face honesty would recommend going to a different place for a professional experience we were left with ugly sloppy uneven cut nails and $30 short can easily find another place who are worth spending me time in read more

I've been coming here since I was in high school because one of my peer's parents were the owners. I always care back because I was meet with kindness, smiles, and good customer service. I would always recommend this place to all my friends and family. I was never disappointed with my service. I'm honestly really sad that this place is under new ownership. I usually never have a problem with my service but today was different. The manicurist I had didn't greet me with a smile or asked me how I was. I felt like my hands were getting man-handled and as if she didn't care if she did good job or not. It was actually painful on my fingers and the massage was not relaxing at all. She was squeezing the life out of my arms. I love ladies at this nail place: they pretty much know my mom and I always come together. Maybe it was just this one time that I had not-as-good service. I still recommend people to go here but ask for someone who's been here the longest and you will not regret coming here! read more

I've been coming to this salon for a while now and worked with a lot of the nail techs and honestly they are all amazing! I love how clean the salon is and how friendly the staff is. One of the few salons I trust in Modesto! read more

Miy does a great job. This is a all service location that takes walk in so at times you have to wait past your appointment time

Love the service, always prompt and clean. Mai is my lady, I've gone to her for months. Selection of colors is nice. Call for appointment and you hardly wait, even then it's 20min wait at most. All the ladies are friendly do a great job. read more

I love this place. Have been coming here for years. The ladies here are very kind and do a great job. They are very good people! Unfortunately, the new owner does not meet the accustomed expectations. I have been here and seen her fall asleep at her table. Her demeanor is not as classy and genuine as the other ladies. Like I said, I have been coming here for years and know they only take cash tips. So I always bring cash. When I pull out my card she is very hesitant to take it and tries to explain to me in a childish/embarrassed way (which is more annoying than anything) that I can't leave a tip. Like I said, I always bring cash and tip well ($5-$10). It's just annoying! Otherwise, the staff here are awesome! I would give them 10 stars if possible. read more

I always get wonderful service from Helen , she is very sweet and does a wonderful pedicure every time for several years now. Everyone at Gorgeous Nails on Pelandale have been very welcoming. It's under new management , but nothing has changed except now open 7 days a week. Oh, and the new spa chairs are wonderful ... love my massage as my toes are being spoiled. Faithfully yours, Linda read more

The worst service ever had shellac over my own nails which had several bumps after having my nails done. I asked Loan (employee) to correct it and she consistently told me my nail was ok however after I put up a fight since I always pay her 10.00 tip each time which I Had to remind her she finally fixed it which it only took 3 min. Demi the owner did my pedicure and complained because I did not want my legs massaged and started talking about me in their Vietnamese language. I will not waste my money with that company ever. RUDE SERVICE read more

Absolutely love this place. My pedicures last and every person that works here really does take their time with you. Will definitely be back. read more

I've been coming here for manicures for the past 5 years. Every once in a while I'll try out a different nail salon and I'm always left wishing I just went to Gorgeous Nails instead. They always take their time with and the greatest care in maintaining your nail health. I usually get a gel manicure and costs around $25 (before tip). They can take walk ins but they've been getting popular so making an appointment is usually the best option. read more
