She does the best designs and is so meticulously and detailed oriented when it comes to the designs. The shape of my nails always come out right. I've gone to other salons in the past and the shape isn't right and the nail looks thick, but not here. My nails last longer and still look good after 6 weeks. I occasionally get a pedicure from them as well and they have a variety of pedicure options. The organic and lemon pedicures are great. This is salon is a 10 out of 10.

** A Hidden Gem That Unfortunately Lost Its Shine**…read more I had been coming to this salon for about five months, and initially, I genuinely felt like I had found a hidden gem for nails in Salinas. Anna was the first person to do my nails, and she made such a great impression that I was excited to keep coming back. Over the past month, I've noticed several employees leaving the salon, including Anna. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have made it clear that this is no longer the salon for me. Two weeks ago, I came in for a new Gel-X full set and removal of my old set because my extensions and natural nails were peeling apart. The set I received was, by far, the worst I've had at this salon. The shape was poorly done, the extensions were excessively thick, and despite requesting coffin, I received square. I also requested a thin black French tip, but it took nearly 45 minutes to freehand a French design that ended up much thicker than what I asked for. I later found out that the set had been done by the owner, which made the experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, my appointment today wasn't much better. Once again, I requested coffin-shaped nails and received square for the second consecutive appointment. I also had to ask for corrections to my polish, including a bubble in the finish. During my pedicure, I was cut on my ankle, which was especially concerning. I'm giving this salon two stars because I recognize that the employees are trying to retain their clients, and I appreciate their efforts. However, consistent issues with the quality of the work and not receiving the shape and design I specifically request have ultimately led me to take my business elsewhere. It's disappointing because this salon started out as a place I genuinely loved and recommended. Unfortunately, that is no longer my experience, and I'll be looking for a new nail salon.

Pros- they take their time and are fairly clean…read more Cons- They are extremely pushy, won't take no for an answer when it comes to upgrading your service to the most expensive options, and the last time I was there, the nail tech pulled me aside to tell me the manager withholds tips from the techs and not to give her any tip money for our services. I felt extremely uncomfortable and was not sure what to do. I paid the manager for our three services, and tipped the two techs only- even through the two techs and the manager worked on us. I hope the techs are safe and okay. This was a very weird experience to be in and I still don't know what to think. I shared this information with a local friend, who said this is a clear sign of human trafficking- which she is trained in. I'm not sure what to think. I didn't report them, but I won't be back.

I thought I had enough length to shape them into a short almond/oval and try builder gel. Unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed, especially after spending about an hour and a half and $80 plus tip. The shape was not what I had hoped for, and the sidewalls were over-filed, leaving the overall shape looking uneven and unflattering. I tried to convince myself that maybe the shape would grow on me, but that never happened. Within a day or two, I was on YouTube looking for ways to remove the builder gel because I was so unhappy with the results. I'll admit that I'm very particular about my nails, but I also believe that if you're paying for a service, the attention to detail and quality should be there. Unfortunately, this experience didn't meet my expectations, and I don't think I would return or recommend this salon based on my experience.
