    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. She's fast and friendly! 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, there's good energy in the place and all of the workers seem happy to be there. I will definitely be back!

    More bloody fingers!

    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 best salon in Nevada County. I've been going here for years and I've never had a bad experience. Amazing and super kind staff. I love every single one of my manicures and pedicures. They are precise and truly care about their work. I get dip manicures and they always look perfect and last up to three weeks. I got one of my favorite manicures of all time today. If you're looking for a great mani/pedi this is the place to go.

    I just moved to grass valley and have tried many nail salons here but have been disappointed. Today I walked in to GV nails and left knowing I have found my nail place. They did an amazing job filling my dip and applying gel color exactly as I wanted. Updated Jan 2020 I have been 3 times now and I have been happy every time! I finally got to have a deluxe pedicure done and it was fantastic! They scrubbed, massaged and cleaned out all my nails and fixed all my almost ingrowns perfectly!

    My nails turned out so much better than I ever expected from a salon. And the pedicure was…read moreheavenly! Extremely happy with their work and definitely highly recommend checking them out.

    I came in yesterday for a gel fill and a pedicure. Simple ask. One job. Two services…read more The pedicure was actually lovely. Calm, relaxing, no notes. If this review were only about the pedicure, we'd be on much friendlier terms. Unfortunately, the nail service was a very different experience. From the start, the technician was extremely aggressive with the file and repeatedly nicked my skin. It hurt. I asked her to be more gentle. She continued with the same pressure and technique. Then things took a turn. She put foil on my nails to soak them off. I immediately told her I did not want my nails removed and that I only wanted a fill. She insisted she wasn't taking them off and said this was part of the fill process. I don't get my nails done often, so I trusted her. Spoiler alert: it was not a fill. After my pedicure, the foil came off and my nails literally fell off. I was really upset and reiterated that I never wanted my nails removed. She said it was fine and that she would "fix it," but I told her I did not want a full new set. She then went back in with the drill and once again kept nicking my skin, despite me repeatedly asking her to be more careful. At that point, I was done. My hands were sore, my patience was gone, and my nails were... gone too. I told her I would pay for the pedicure and leave. She then charged me for nail removal, a service I never asked for and explicitly said I did not want. So I left with: * No nails * Sore fingers * A bill for a service I didn't request * And a pedicure I actually liked, which feels ironic now I will not be returning. If you are someone who values clear communication, gentle technique, and keeping the nails you walked in with, this may not be the place for you.

    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.
