[[HIGHLIGHT]]GV Nails is the best pedi I have had in our area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I get the $50 deluxe and pay $20 extra for the gel since it last so long. The deluxe pedicure last between 70-90 minutes. Hot stone, paraffin treatment, great massage.

Took my daughter, who is 6, for her 1st mani and pedi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was kind and made us feel welcomed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They even have kid prices, which I appreciate as a mom. I'm sure we'll be going back as my daughter loved the experience and our nails look great.

My latest attempt in my ongoing quest for a local nail technician brought me to Grass Valley Nails. I needed a pedicure (which turned out great btw), a noticed the nails of the woman in the chair next to me looked really good. Her recommendation brought me back to GV Nails for an appointment with Tammy. Tammy had her work cut out for her when I arrived, as my previous technician audition had not stood up well. I am--so far-- pleased with the results! The salon is reasonably clean and bright, centrally located and attached to a parking lot, which is convenient. They have reasonable prices and offer a pretty wide range of services. My one criticism is that Tammy was overbooked and I did have to wait about half an hour past my scheduled time, but she was very apologetic and offered another technician if I preferred not to wait. Fingers crossed, I won't have to continue to drive back to Sacramento every month for a manicure.

Kay does a great job with my acrylic nails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She's fast and friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They always look great and stay on long (I'm rough on my nails).

I have been here twice and both times it is amazing! My nails have turned out perfect both times, [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's good energy in the place and all of the workers seem happy to be there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back!

I don't often leave negative reviews, but my hands were brutalized yesterday at Grass Valley Nails. I went for a dip manicure and left with 8 of 10 fingers bleeding. I come here about every 4 to 6 weeks and service has been uneven at times, but this was the worst. The manicurist was someone who has done a great job in the past. I don't understand what happened. The photos are from this morning when I woke up and my left hand fingers were bleeding again. Also, the nails don't look very good -- they're filed at different angles and there are heavy ridges of polish at the base of some nails. I should have stopped her but I didn't realize how bad it was while it was happening. Near the end, when she was using a drill file, blood splattered in a circular pattern like in a miniature chain saw massacre -- there was bright red blood her hands and apron. I'm pretty sure she put those files etc back in the box without cleaning them. WTF. Also, general comment: The last three times I have set up appointments they either had no record of the appointment or the person the appointment was with said they hadn't been told about it.

$80 pedicure with choppy cuticles and the polish isn't even covering my little toes...

Beware... they will charge you more than what's on their menu pricing. I paid $80 for a pedicure ($60 on the menu) with gel polish ($10 extra charge) and my cuticles are inflamed today due to snipping healthy tissue, the tech didn't wear gloves and none of the equipment was sanitized. She just grabbed each tool out of a basket on a cart that likely wasn't even washed between customers. I'm only giving 2 stars because the tech was very nice and my pedicure was relaxing aside from the nipped cuticles.

The lady who did my nails just was fast, no quality! It wasn't until i was sitting to dry my. Toes and noticed

Absolute nightmare. Came in for a manicure and left wondering if I needed a tetanus shot. The clippers looked like they came from a murder scene, and the nail tech hacked away at my nails and cuticles like they had personally offended her. The tools were disgusting, one was held together with duct tape, and she grabbed a file from another customer's station and used it on me. The "massage" was basically a lotion accident she had to clean up afterward. I canceled the pedicure because I had already suffered enough. While I was waiting, another customer got her eyebrows done and walked out looking like she lost a fight with a weed whacker -- furious, in pain, and trying to figure out what the F*€k just happened. Dirty shop, terrible work, zero hygiene. If you're looking for a relaxing manicure, run. If you're looking for a story to tell your friends, this place delivers. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had an appointment scheduled for 11:00 a.m. and waited for 45 minutes without anyone acknowledging me or giving me an update.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No one apologized, explained that they were running behind, or let me know when I could expect to be seen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was completely ignored, which was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time. I understand that salons can run behind occasionally, but good customer service means communicating with your clients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A simple apology or update would have gone a long way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Instead, I was left sitting there wondering if anyone even knew I was waiting. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon to others. read more

Came in and got a pedicure, my second time here. The first time they did great with my pedicure however the second time she tried to remove an ingrown. I asked multiple times to stop. They were laughing at me because I kept saying ouch. Today I had to go get the ingrown removed ( in the worst pain ever) however after she cut the ingrown I could barely walk. $325 plus the $130 pedicure and manicure I will never come back here.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The women working here are calm, professional, and plain wonderful to spend an hour with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm pretty sure I have had a different nail tech each time I've gone, and each one has done lovely, careful work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They all check to make sure that you like the shape and length multiple times through out the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When they ask you to go wash your hands, they want you to take a moment to evaluate the current shape & length before they finish either painting with normal nail polish, or going forward with a gel finish (I've tried both, I have found that I prefer the durability of the gel/powder-dip/UV-finish result). [[HIGHLIGHT]]They usually have openings in the mornings, but I find that booking an appointment is hands down the best way to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sometimes you'll see potential clients waiting in the chairs by the door wistfully hoping for a no-show opening to happen. Their prices reflect the high volume of clients that they have coming through, which I think is really generous of them. When I start getting pedis there, I'll likely update my 5 stars to 5 stars.

Filthy salon. I came in and sat down next to somebody else's dirty clipped fingernail. I have strong natural nails and they drilled them down so far that I have a big dent down to my nail bed (on all of my nails). They clearly do not clean their stations. Doesn't seem they sweep or mop. That should be done daily in a place of business where they are clipping nails and leaving them on the floor. They also do not clean their station in between customers. And the gel nail polish dryers look like they've never been cleaned. They have caked on dry lotion and smudges from prior guests. They are disgusting and I cannot believe they expect people to put their hands in them. read more

I'm visiting the area from out of town. I typically have dip on my nails and they're my natural nails. Well, I snapped 2 off and needed tips, so I stopped in 9/5/25. First of all, my cuticles are all cut up from the first technician. I have small scabs on 5 of my fingers. On top of that, my right hand nails (who were worked on by a second technician) are completely slanted. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I mentioned it a few times and the technician would then remove my tips to start over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She then told me the reason they're shaped differently is because it's hard to match the style of a real nail compared to a tip. I've never had that issue before. My nails are always the same shape when I leave a salon. The nails with tips are also not flat. They have grooves all throughout, even my real nails do now too. The nail technician could tell I was disappointed, so she offered me $5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She then proceeded to argue with me why my nail shape was slanted again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Again, I'm not from the area, but I get my nails done at least twice a month every month and have been for years. I've *never* had an issue where my nails were so noticeably crooked. I visit Grass Valley 2-3 times a year. I usually don't need my nails done during my trip, but if I ever do in the future, I will never come back here. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had. Please look elsewhere for your nail needs. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I specifically said 'NO THANKS! I have the time to wait for the polish to dry. I want the $50 pedicure" and pointed to it on the menu"[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She went ahead and did so anyway and they charged me $70. [[HIGHLIGHT]]WOW, I would have given Kay 5 stars and a $10 tip had she just HONORED the pedicure I reserved and listened to my communications[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. read more

Jenny is absolutely fantastic. While I'm sad she's only in the shop on Wednesdays now that she's gone back to college, she's definitely worth rearranging my schedule so that I can schedule with her. From the first appointment with Jenny I was very happy to have found her. After several "failures" at various salons around town, I booked with Jenny. I showed her what I wanted for my nail design, she did it perfectly. No matter what design I've brought to her, she'd done it. She is an accomplished free-hand nail artist. I would highly recommend her! read more

I finally had a chance to treat myself (I usually do my own nails but didn't want to spend the time doing them myself) so anyway I went here because it is close to my work. The photos will tell my story. I am very disappointed. They look horrible. I want to soak them off and do my own. I should have. What's the point of paying for a service and not getting results even close to what I could've done. This is probably the worst I've ever had. Not worth the time or money. read more

Everyone is so accommodating, and they want to be sure your comfortable in their high end massage chairs, and they go above and beyond making sure your comfortable, offering water and pillows for your added comfort, along with great magazines for all types, large screen tv on both sides, nice music, very clean and the owner is beautiful inside and out .

Worst $35 pedicure ever, the technician only spent 23 minutes on me from start to finish, she didn't even file my toenails or clean them out. The paint job is extremely sloppy, some on my skin and paint not down to the cuticle on almost every toenail. All toenails uneven with both polish and edge of nail.

They we're obviously taking in costumers they didn't have time for and took way longer than it should've.

She is…read moresuper knowledgeable when it comes to products and is enthusiastic about explaining ingredients and the latest research on all things nails. For the booked and busy working girlies though, head up that she's not the type to confirm when your appointment is approaching like we're used to with beauty services, and she doesn't use any kind of automatic appointment system. This cost me $55 for a missed appointment because I'm so used to providers who either use auto systems or send manual reminders. On me, so I paid it without issues. Regardless, she's super sweet, fun to talk to, and again, the best massage I've ever had during a pedi. Also, she's a major foodie, so be sure to ask her for restaurant recommendations because she sent me to a couple amazing spots. Highly recommend Celeste, but be aware that remembering your appointment is on you.

A Artistic Nail Salon

In my 11 years on Yelp, this is my first time reviewing a business I didn't even try yet but this…read moreneeds to be said: Extremely poor customer service. I attempted to find this location while on a break from the hospital, but my GPS was lagging. When I called for help with directions, the person on the phone (maybe the owner idk) was incredibly dismissive. Despite their hours saying 'Open,' she told me she was on a 1.5-hour lunch break. When I tried to clarify the location, she told me she 'never had anyone have this issue' and asked if I was even from here. She eventually hung up on me. In a small town, you'd expect basic kindness, but I was treated like an inconvenience. I decided to take my business elsewhere.

STEER CLEAR OF LINDA YOU'VE BEEN WARNED…read more I wish I could leave zero or negative stars. 1 star is way too high for this "salon". Linda is crazy, rude, unprofessional, and downright senile! I called her on 12/28 asking if she did dip or hard gel. She said she doesn't do dip because it's bad for your nails but she does do hard gel. I asked her how much and she said $35-40. The only reason I went to her is because of the price she offered me. I wrote it down in my notes and told her great I'd like to book an appointment for the next day. She was very talkative on the phone but I thought she was just overly friendly. I should have known better. She told me to call her when I got to the parking lot. I get to the parking lot and call her and she doesn't answer so I find my way up. I get to her suite and she immediately starts talking down to me about how nobody listens anymore do they. I said that I did call you when I got here. She checked her phone and it was on do not disturb. I felt odd about her speaking to me like that but at this point I had a babysitter at home, was already there and she had offered me a good price so I just went along with the appointment. She took about 20 minutes to start my appointment talking in circles about her goodwill finds, drawing me a diagram about hair follicle growth (like how is this even relevant to nails?) and saying that my nails made her stomach sick. She finally started the appointment and would stop and go on tangents every 5 minutes. She was extremely irritating to be around let alone have a service done by when you're on a time crunch and 37 weeks pregnant with two toddlers at home. She made many racist remarks against Vietnamese nail salon workers and comparing curly hair to "hair of people of color" (direct quote). It finally comes time to pay and I confirmed if it was going to be $35 or $40 and she started losing it on me, berating me, calling me a jumper and telling me to get out of there if I didn't pay her pricing. I told her that we spoke the day before and she had quoted me $35-40 for hard gel so why was she changing it now? She denied ever saying that and said she even added extra services (which she didn't) and the price was $60. She told me to either not pay and leave and don't leave her a bad review and never go back to her again or pay her pricing. I wasn't going to leave there without paying while she was legitimately having a mental breakdown or something so I paid the $60, did NOT add any tip and left. Again, being 37 weeks pregnant and having active contractions I just wanted to go somewhere and have a relaxing time while getting my nails done but instead got hustled, berated, talked down to, criticized and insulted. I even left my really nice brumate water jug there and don't even want to deal with this psycho lady to go back and get it. The manicure itself was pretty bad. The hard gel she cured is uneven and lumpy in many spots and she had no pink nude colors to put on top so it doesn't even look like I got my nails done. This was just the worst nail salon experience of my life and I am definitely taking this up with American Express because to pay $60 to be mistreated in such a way with a shitty manicure will never sit right with me. I'm attaching photos of my nails the very next day, the hard gel is already lifting in certain places and the shaping and paint job look like my 3 year old son did it. Another poor girl called her in the middle of my appointment to book a same day full set with her and linda was so rude to her too. I hope she didn't book. I have no idea who this lady thinks she is but she belongs in a mental institution, not running a business. I have no idea how she thinks she can talk to and treat people like this. I am definitely going to try to call the cosmetology board and have this lady reported and looked into. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ABSOLUTE TORTURE THIS LADY IS. Also, her "salon" is a small cramped room in a weird building, not comfortable or relaxing to be in at all. Just DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE.

This was, without question, one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, coupled with unacceptable quality of work. I originally booked with my regular technician, but since he was unavailable, the owner himself performed my service instead. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. Throughout the appointment, the owner was ARROGANT, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for obvious mistakes. Every concern I raised was met with an excuse. When I pointed out that my nails were not filed straight, I was told it was because my nails do not grow straight. When the polish was applied unevenly, I was told it was due to my nail texture. When I mentioned that the polish appeared old and sticky, he became defensive, even though he had just ADDED THINNER to the bottle in front of me, and ultimately transferred me to another technician rather than addressing the issue professionally. The photos clearly show bubbles and an uneven finish. These are application issues, not the result of my nail texture. As a paying customer, I should not have to argue over obvious quality concerns or be blamed for substandard work. After this experience, the other negative reviews make perfect sense. If this is how the owner treats long-time customers and handles legitimate feedback, I cannot recommend this salon. There are far better places that value their customers and stand behind the quality of their work.
