When I phoned in advance I wasn't sure I would be able to…read morecommunicate adequately with the women who work here, and I was a little worried because I could not make a precise appointment in advance, and had to wait when I arrived. But was it worth the wait! I had an organic mani-pedi that cost only a little more than my usual pedicure in my home town. It was expert and thorough! Not only that, but the service included a lovely massage of legs and feet, arms and hands, and even much of my back. There was no smell of chemicals, only of nice products--moisturizers, exfoliants, and paraffin. I never expected on top of all that attention to my nails and cuticles to receive a hot stone massage of my extremities. Best of all, my dried-out cuticles and callused feet look as good as new again. The owner is warm and attentive iand gave me good advice about nail health. Both she and one of her employees worked assiduously for--oh, maybe close to two hours? I recommend enthusiastically--and make sure you plan to spend some time.

Second time, the polish although what should have been dry over 2 hours- was still wet- which tells me they may have used gel instead of laquer. Really frustrating to have to go back again for a fix.

I felt so comfortable when I walked in. I met my masseuse Lam, who brought me to my room. Another beautiful space! The spa music, electric fireplace, and pre-warmed table are so wonderful. The best part of this visit was Lam. I've had so much back pain lately, and she found each knot and ache and worked them over. I would say this massage is one of the best I have ever had. I floated out of the room! Lam is so friendly and professional. This will be the only place I go to whenever I come to Capitola. Thank you!

I booked my appointment in advance online and was seen at my scheduled time. The pedicure I received the other day was one of the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot! It's all the little details like the temperature of the water, the paraffin application, gentleness of the filing and the magical leg/foot massage that give a 5 star rating. What you'll find here are high end polishes to choose from, expert application of polish, as little or as much chatting as you like and feel like a valued patron not being rushed.

I waited for so long to get in with Gabby...literally stalked her Instagram for over a year I think... when I saw she finally had room for a new client I pounced---and now that I've been seeing her for months I understand why she's in such high demand. Don't sleep on it when she says she has an opening! First of all she has been so kind and accommodating from the jump. Second, her work is impeccable EVERY SINGLE TIME. She uses top tier materials and aims for perfection without fail. I'm so glad I waited for her and got into a regular spot in her schedule. I see her every three weeks no matter what and my nails haven't ever come off before I see her again, and this is a huge deal for me bc I wash my hands a hundred times a day. Then there's the nail art--she is so up to date in the trends that things I think are new are old news to her lol. She can hand paint the coolest detailed art, too. Highly recommend this super sweet and talented woman!

I thought this was a fine place to get a mani-pedi, but I will never go back now. Before the workers start trash talking customers, they should make sure no one speaks Vietnamese in the group they are trash talking. Saying a friend was slutty because her shorts were "too short" and that three of our group were "very very fat" are just the highlights, and I fin it massively disrespectful and disgusting that a family thinks it's ok to gossip about people who are apparently "paying for their daughters college". I will never go back, but if you choose to go, fair warning: wear long shorts and drop 20 pounds before entering the door, or give these people fodder for their offensive remarks. read more

Seriously he always makes me feel like a superstar. I also love that this place is located in beautiful Rio Del Mar and near my home. I would have given 5 stars but I had a very uncomfortable and hurtful experience with one of the manicurist named Tina. All the other ladies that work here have been kind to me except Tina. She threw a fit and angrily accused me of basically lying that I had an appointment with Danny right in front of my daughter and all the clients. I believe in showing kindness to all so I stayed calm and kind. I didn't deserve her lashing out at me and I will never get my nails done by her. Usually I come here and feel welcomed and relaxed. I hope that my review helps.

They got us in chairs and then the torture began. They were so rushed, overly aggressive, rough with the manicure/pedicure, and not safe at all. My sister got abandoned by her lady and sat there while I got my nails done horribly. She never got her manicure. The final outcome, the nails look horrible, chunky, rough and nail polish chipping the same day. I would NEVER recommend this place! Services Pedicure, Manicure Requested style General mani/pedi Cleanliness Not clean at all used a toaster oven to sterilize the instruments. Flies all over. Stylist Did not communicate well at all.

After reading the last two 1-star review's it is clear to me that these people should seek some…read moreserious help. I have been going to Eva and her husband for over two years now and so has my daughter. I go twice a month and every time we walk in, we are greeted by our names, and Eva and her husband always have smiles on their faces. Eva does amazing nails and her husband does a great job with pedicures!! The have always used sterile instruments and I've personally watched them clean their pedicure bowls after each client. So stating any different is just childish.Their prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and if anyone has ever asked for a full set with design, you know you're looking at $80 to $100 dollars, especially when it's done well. The comments below truly disgust me. Never would Eva or her husband hold someone "hostage" or "kidnap" them due to non-payment. That is an insane comment. Also the horrible comment about not speaking English is wildly ignorant and stating that Eva's husband eyes have no soul, is disgusting. I have personally reported those comments and I'd appreciate others who have been to Kathy's to do the same. I have nothing but appreciation for them and the art they create. They are WONDERFUL people and it makes me sad to see people writing reviews with such hate. Next time (girl below) go somewhere else if the "vibe" was off from the beginning. Also, educate yourself more when you speak on behalf of people's language barriers and accusations that can actually in turn, get you into a lot of legal trouble.
