I absolutely would not recommend this business. I am trying to warn everybody about the horrible experience I had. Heed me when I say do not use this place. I am surprised it's still in business. I came in town from Dallas for work. I had to do a presentation the next day. I went in with three nails missing so I wanted to have a new set put on. I had to have three tips done as well as well. I went in with a picture and explained several times that that's the file color and everything I wanted. Not only did it not come close, but it was a horrible result. I spent two hours in the salon. Hardly anyone spoke English. As a matter of fact, I think only one lady named Cathy spoke a little English. The rest of the time they were gossiping and giggling in Vietnamese. The tips weren't even laid flat on my real fingernail so there's a big gap between my real nail and the tip. At this point, I'm scared I might get a fungus. I can't wait to get back to Dallas have them removed and redone. So embarrassing and disappointing to look at my hands. I sure hope the owner pays attention to these reviews. I wish I would've read prior to going, but unfortunately the Wi-Fi and cellular were not working, so don't plan on using your phone. I went in asking for the set of pink you see in my pictures. Instead, I got some ugly white color with a horrible hand and drill filed look. read more

Went in for a pedicure/manicure and walked out looking like my 4 year old niece painted my toes. Wanted a naked manicure, just clean and buff my nails. walked out with my nails feeling like I chewed them all off, even after asking him to fix them. The workers are rude and not very attentive. Disappointing to say the least. Cleanliness is lacking too! everything just scattered around like they just moved in. Crappy rush job. read more

Truly sloppy manicure. The nail tech actually hurt my fingers as he was pushing jabbing back my cuticles, didn't remove polish from previous work until I asked him to, and the polish was so sloppy I took it off when I got home. I can do better at home with one hand. read more

I came in for a simple polish removal and basic manicure- she drilled my nails to death, left all of my nails uneven, and didn't even buff them! I should have known better- walked in with strong healthy nails and walked out with wrecked hands. read more

I would not even give a star for my experience and outcome I literally cried in my car theses are the worst's nails I have ever had let alone seen I work really hard for my money and just to throw it away to look like I have T Rex hands absolutely horrible read more

HORRIBLE!!!! Literally do NOT go to this place! Got a gel manicure and literally the very next day they chipped and peeled. When I went in I was told it was MY fault that I didn't come in to get them redone. I explained I work everyday and that was my only day to come in to get them done. But because I work, it's my fault. She refused to give me a refund and kept telling me it's all my fault. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! read more

Worst experience. The lady was rude and became upset due to me wanting her to take previous polish off which was sparkly. She said if you do not want to see the sparkle get the whole nail done instead of the tip. When i stated that i dont like the whole nail painted she began to talk to her coworkers and she kept talking and they all laughed loudly! It was not relaxing and the whole vibe was off. read more

Well when I first came over a year ago they took great care of me I took pictures & recommended them. I went on Friday and had a new young lady - well my no chip is terrible it chipped the same day and I'm pretty pissed off. read more

I did not feel welcome walking in even though I called ahead. The pedicure was normal to good but when it came time to pay, the woman took my cash but did not bring me the correct change. I asked for a receipt and had a major attitude. She made me feel really bad when I asked for my correct change. (I also wanted the right cash to tip her) , she took her 20% tip out of my hands and walked away rudely. She never came back to help me take the spacers out, or hall me with my shoes. No one said I was good to go. just really cold and rude. No one said one word to me in English Except "color" and the price. read more

Horrible place, horrible customer service. Don't waste your time or money. They ignore what you say, do whatever they want, and then make you pay for what THEY did smh. I regret coming here!! Wish I could rate 0 stars read more

Worst pedicure ever, and I am 50, so that is saying a lot! And such a weird experience. I have been to Linda's once before & thought it was one of the better nail salons I've been to in Santa Fe, but my experience tonight was boggling The nail technician LT barely greeted me & made it clear she was annoyed she had to do my nails. She removed my gel with force & fury - it was actually painful! And then proceeded to "rip" through my manicure - hacking away at my cuticles, cutting my nails crooked & filing them like they were bricks blocking her way out of prison! They were so uneven I had to take the file & try to fix them before she splashed on the paint. It was so unnerving, unsettling & not relaxing! Again, I had a good experience there before, so don't know if LT is just maxed out, or? I would like a refund for this wasted invaluable hour of my time & assault to the senses! read more

They charge you extra for things that were already included in the bundle,for example my total was supposed to be 31.99 and they charged me 48.80. read more

Hit or miss. Don't bother making an appointment. It won't be honored. They'll just tell you it will be a few minutes. 20 minutes later.... Like most places it depends on the practitioner if you get a decent v shitty mani/pedi. read more

There are no words of how angry I am ! A week ago I went to get a pedicure before a vacation , the lady there started to my pedicure and hurt me really bad ! I said it's hurting and asked her to stop digging in my toe with the tool , she said I have ingrown ( which I didn't ) and she needs to which I found weird since I had no pain u til she started , a week after I'm at the airport waiting for my vacation and can't even walk ... or wear a shoe my whole Toe is infected !! read more

Do not come here EVER. I came in for acrylics and they said for me to wait about 30 minutes which was fine with me. I waited and waited and I waited for more than an hour. I eventually Just gave up after waiting for more than an hour and walked out without saying anything. People came in a few minutes after I came in and they got their service before I did, even though I came in before them. Horrible place! read more

I've been going to Linda's Nails for many years now and am very satisfied with the service. The shop is very nice as are the technicians. They are knowledgeable and experienced. I have never experienced any problems at this shop. read more

I tried this place a few days ago for a pedicure - unbelievably awful. The man who started my pedicure literally attacked two of my toes with his tool and wouldn't stop. The toes wouldn't stop bleeding and eventually I left. There was no apology. And no pedicure. read more

So many chances I've given them, mainly because it's so close to home. Not any more! They have techs that do not know what they are doing! ONE day after a full set, the gel polish was coming off, same with my toe polish. They are so rude, they yell at customers when the customer clearly doesn't understand what they are saying. I Do not recommend! read more

Very nice salon! Easy to make an appointment. Good pricing. Mani-Pedi excellent! Will definitely be back!!!

Friendly and did a great job. There was a long wait but I just popped over to Trader Joe's.

Every time I go there the women are sooo rude and demeaning talking to the customer like you are ignorant and not pleasant experience I walked out I couldn't take the abuse read more

Worst pedicure I have ever received. Not only did they chop off the nail on my big toe. They were incredibly slow and now I have an infection on the side of one of my toes. I am here from out of town working, such a disappointment read more

Came here as a walk-in and was told 20 minute wait. After 30 minutes I was directed to a chair where I sat for another 20 minutes. A tech finally filled the tub but forgot about it until it was overflowing and I brought it to their attention. My sandals were soaked, no apology. The lady who worked on me had no social skills and I felt my business wasn't important. She gave me a pretty decent pedi - with a sugar scrub it was around $40 with tip. She and another tech got into a very long, heated and loud exchange which made most of the clients uncomfortable. It was a convenient location but not certain if I would return. Based on the long wait and unfriendly atmosphere I can't honestly recommend this place. read more

the lady was digging into my toe and i didnt have an ingrown and i told her it hurt then my toe swelled and now its infected! i am now on many medicines and i have a fever i am very angry because i was supposed to go to a concert with my friends and now i cant never been more angry in my life i woudnt risk comming here because this has happened to other people as well read more

I came to Linda's nails as it was a convenient location while I waited for a family member to attend an appointment in Santa Fe where I do not live. I scheduled a time for the pedicure with a very nice woman named Kathy. Altho I arrived on time, my pedicure did not begin for another 25 minutes. Ruby, the person who provided the pedicure was technically proficient and very rough. My experience was very unpleasant and I had to grit my teeth numerous times to get through her manner of handling my feet. Even the way she used a nail file was sharp and uncomfortable. At one point I had to ask her to be more gentle. I like the way my nails look but would not return here again. read more

Me and my girlfriend got a pedi & meni, I've got reaction all over my legs!!! And my girlfriend had the worst manicure! The lady told her she need to get gel powder on her nails, and left her nails with glue all over! Worst place ever!!!!! Stay away!!!!!! read more

I was a customer of Lindas nails for years. I would always make appointments. Yet the last few times I visited the shop I still waited , not 15 minutes or half an hour, but over 1 1/2 hours. Even though I had an appointment!!! with Cathy the manager! They were taking walk-ins who were serviced faster than I was. This place has really gone to the dogs. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Very disappointed with this service. Good luck to whoever visits this place. I hope you don't have to wait as long as I have in the past. They lost my business read more

Love this place. The cooling mud is great and the deluxe pedi is the way to go. Everyone is very nice who works there.

Check out my Ombré awesome gel nails!!! Yellow blended to pink with sparkles at bottom of each nail! I've never seen anything like this offered at other salons. To save money, I asked for color change instead of full-on manicure and the man worked really meticulously to do the 2 colors, then gently and beautifully dabble the sparkles. I'm SUPER pumped and it's gonna last 2 weeks!! Only $20 if you ask for color change (not listed on the menu) instead of usual mani. Normal gel color change is $15, $5 extra was for the ombré design. He spent a ton of time perfecting the design on each nail, so I tipped him generously. Definitely longer than a normal manicure and what a deal! Instruments looked clean to me, not sure what everyone else is complaining about. Expectations should match the price and caliber of establishment - don't expect wine and fru-fru service like at a real spa with $60+ pedis If any technician goes too hard on sensitive spots, just tell them, they'll be more careful :) Every person's skin is different. I'll definitely be back!! read more

20 yrs doing nails myself. Professional opinion! Skip it ladies. I am sorry I didn't get one of the smiling technicians. Lady that was doing my pedicure was upset or something. I kept giving me nasty looks and when I didn't puck my leg up high he ought she jerked it higher and my shin hit the plexiglass guard. No sorry, nothing. Same thing on other leg. Skip it! This was a stop of convenience and I didn't read the reviews first. My mistake. Ugh read more

Truly unfortunate experience. I have more nicks and cuts on my fingers and toes than ever before. It felt like everyone was new or didn't care. Sadly won't go back as it was same experience for both of us. Trust the reviews and consider going elsewhere. Hoping for no infections from all the painful cuts. read more

If you're in the mood to get scammed and leave with a potential infection, then definitely check this place out. They don't honor appointments, use the same files and utensils for each client (disgusting) and I left with 3 bleeding cuts and the messiest gel manicure I have ever seen. Got back home after my appointment to find that my credit card had also been charged THREE times. I have no idea how this place is still in business. Please don't ruin your weekend like I did by making an appointment here. read more

The lady did a very good job in my new set she was a bit quick with it but overall I'm actually quite pleased

Clean place, however, not one of the employees that were in there could speak English. I am a guitar player and asked for acrylic on my right hand nails. I told her several times what I wanted. She finished and didn't put the acrylic on. She said (???) "no do acrylic" and walked away. $20 to clip my nails and I never did get what I went in for. Unless you speak Vietnamese you may not get what you expect. read more

Terrible manicure--have had an infected nail bed ever since. And 30 mins after I left someone tried to use my credit card number elsewhere. Since it was the only time all week I had used that credit card there is little doubt it was a manicurist from this salon. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Mimi always does an excellent job! Best pedicure and manicure I've ever had! Both Helen and Mimi are so nice and treat customers with respect! I highly recommend Linda's Nails and recommend calling ahead for an appointment since they are busy. They are busy for a reason - Lots of repeat clients! Thank you for being my go to mani/ pedi salon! read more

Bad place that I ever been Very disappointed from how pepole act there Laughing on u don't stop talking on u Plus she hurt me and make bleeding and pain Not cool place to relex read more

Excellent on all fronts! In a town brimming with overpriced and fully booked salons and spas, Linda's is a god-sent! Walk-in, speedy service, and a great product. They did a wonderful job on my pedicure and gel manicure. Would highly recommend Linda's, especially for those of us who don't want a whole day to revolve around getting our nails done. read more

Poor quality manicure. Sloppy, file was dirty, cuticles were not trimmed properly, gel has already chipped off after just a few days.

I got my brows waxed yesterday. My eye lid is swollen, red and burned. Do not go here. Hopefully I can post a picture so you can see what they have done. read more
