Magic Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

$90 What I asked for and what I got. They suggested I go an expert salon cause they couldn't do what I asked for. When I sat down the nail tech asked for a pic he said he can do it. But when he finished it looked nothing like the picture and when they transferred me over to do my toes I thought he was still going to work on designs but he got up and left. He kept yelling at me not to move for this, he was very rude even other nail techs came up and said sorry don't even breathe he's just trying to do his design. But he would only tell me not to move when I looked over at my phone and already felt tension for asking about the pricing, it was very awkward. Also over charging, even other costumers were confused and asking why they're paying extra at the register. They try to use language barrier as an excuse when they speak English very well and communicate very well but then want to say there's miscommunication. I also didn't get clean tools for my pedicure and manicure, after I asked as well.. then she warned me about getting fungus on my toes! I never wrote a yelp review but this needed one read more

We came in as a group and got a total of 6 pedicures done, and the experience was amazing! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and they made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. The service was excellent--our pedicures turned out great and we never felt rushed. Perfect spot for both quality work and great customer service. Highly recommend! read more

Magic Nails - Spa day for the girls - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Truly have had a wonderful experience at magic nail salon as I have been going to get my pedicure and manicure gel nails done. The staff there are all kind very friendly as well take time on your appointment. I have had more enjoyment being able to know that I was heard upon my requests as well questions I asked for knowledge with doing gel X and the outcome was phenomenal. Glad to feel comfortable and happy and most of all it was well worth my time. recommend all the staff for their work. Thank you for being so intentional and sweet. I can't wait to go to my next appointment!! read more

I wanted a SOAK OFF... which means the acetone process. NOT using another nail to lift up my acrylics. Once she did my pinky by pulling it off I asked "umm what are you doing" and she responded with "it's faster" I said no your damaging my nail, then she wanted to do the acetone after I said that if I didn't she would've probably ripped off all of them that way. Not returning. read more

What an awesome nail spa! Kathy is very patient and professional. She offered good tips to help in between appointments and offered other services. Will be back Saturday morning and have another appointment for 2 weeks from now! I finally found my spa and my person! read more

I had to wait almost an hour to get seated, which was fine. Then they sat me with someone who worked on my nails 5 minutes then made me get up and go to someone else. He didn't do a bad job he just cut me. Then they charge a $3 fee for your debit card. Probably won't ever return. read more

Magic Nails - Cut my finger - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Kathy is so patient and does a wonderful job. Everyone in the salon is nice and attentive.

Don't bother selecting a color or design here because they'll do what they want anyway. I've been in here a handful of time and the service is usually mediocre at best. The women are great, but the men are rough when they file or work on cuticles. I have cuts in my toes from how rough the nail file was, and that's not the worst of it. I selected my colors when I walked it. I had a design in mind (simple diagonal stripes on 4 fingers) and communicated that I had already selected the colors for the stripes. I'm usually soft spoken and passive, but this time I was very specific in saying that I selected the teal for my toes to match the stripes on my finger nails. I was taken to a separate table for my manicure and the same gel nail polish used for my toes was sitting on the table. After the stripes are done, I see that the manicurist used a royal blue instead of the teal sitting on the table. When I communicated this, he tried to tell me those were the colors he had and the one I selected was too light to put on my nails (like what does that even mean lol??). I repeated again that I wanted the teal polish that matched my toes, and he essentially told me he had already finished the design. If I wanted royal blue on my nails, I would've asked for royal blue. Now it doesn't even match! I paid $45 for something I didn't even want, and the manicurist didn't even entertain the idea of fixing the stripe. read more

horrible service. don't recommend coming here. girls here are rude and don't like doing their job.

My pedicure was so bad that someone else had to take over in the middle. My skin is peeling. Just overall a bad experience. I used to like this place. Won't be coming back. They knew what was going on and still charged full price. read more

unfortunately Phillp and Tina sold. I dislike trying to find another nail and foot person. But I did try them unfortunately won't go back. Needed a back fill and wasn't done properly after a week still looks like I need a back fill. And charged me 40 I'm happy to pay but not if the quality isn't there. Already missing Phillip and Tina. read more

This was my first time going to this Salon because my daughter gave me a gift card for Mother's Day. My appointment was at 10 and they got me in right away. I think I probably had the owners mother do my pedicure? I could not believe how wonderful I felt when I left there!! I love the little machine they use to get the callus off ~~ she did an awesome job! They are all so friendly too .... it's one of the best salons that I have ever been to. Neat and clean!!!!! read more

The best pedicure ever !!!!! They where e this new machine that gets the callus right off Baby feet at it's finest read more

I came here an hour before they closed and got Philip to do my nails. He worked fast and was meticulous! I didn't have any issues with him being too rough on my cuticles. He was amazing. My nails have never looked better! I've gone to several other manicurists and always have issues with at least one of my nails hurting or something. He rarely had to fix his work throughout the process. My only issue is that it was a fill, so I thought I was going to pay around 12-20 $$ but they charged me $30. read more

Magic Nails - Mani by Philip! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I went into this salon in the spur of the moment, and am glad I did! I was greeted and seated right away. It feels really peaceful, with nice music and clean decor. The nail color selection was really neatly displayed in book-like cases, and the lady who did my nails was really gentle with the way she handled my nails and held my hand. I felt relaxed. I love my manicure, thank you Magic Nails! read more

Take down "Walk ins wlcome" you don't honor it. I have been there twice and was told we can't see you, super busy. Chairs were open and I wasn't even asked what I needed done. Don't know if they pick and choose who they want to do. But I will NEVER go there again. Bye! read more

Magic nails took me as a walk in after another nail salon nearby told me they had an hour long wait. The woman who did my manicure and pedicure was so sweet. She was patient with me as I took my time picking out a nail color. I told her I wanted the most natural look and she didn't try to push anything else on me. She studied my nails before doing them making recommendations based on the natural length and shape of my nails. She offered me water and even offered to help me get my keys from my purse after my manicure. read more

Magic Nails - Beautiful natural nails manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I wanted to like this place. I haven't had a pedicure for two years, and thought if I found a nail place on California Avenue I'd have a good experience. Not so. Their prices are too high. And there's this slight snobby vibe inside. She did my polish great but barely did anything to my poor dirty heels. I'm not impressed with what I got with the basic pedicure. And I would've had to pay $10 more to get just a little more. Next time I'll just go to poorer parts of Bakersfield and get the same service for less money. Someone needs to tell them this is Bakersfield not L.A. read more

NOT the most sanitary even though their outside says, "100% clean." I am not sure if they switch tools between pedicure clients. I saw the same people working on a few people but never saw them put their instruments in sanitizer nor open up a new pack of tools. But I can't see in their carts... I did not see new clean instruments opened from the sanitation bag though. Busy with only 3 people working when I went. They do use liners in the tubs though... but I don't see them spray the tubs after. $30 for a mani-pedi with or without polish. All massage chairs work. Tons of old magazines to flip through. 2 TVs on. Will ask for cash when you go to pay because they charge you extra for a card. read more

I absolutely love this place. Found it by accident because it was the only one open on Sunday but im glad I did. Every one of the staff are super friendly, professional and their nail art is super beautiful. This is my new go to spot for sure !!!!! read more

Magic Nails - Coffin style with gel polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Inexpensive and ran by nice-ish people. did not have much of a problem. but during my pedicure, the woman would take off my dead skin, and place it on my foot. what?? grossed me out. the lady looked at the tv more than my feet which made her distracted on what she was doing. and the store overall is a bit messy. 2/5 read more

Magic Nails - horrible nail job on all my toes, some aren't even painted all the way. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Not sure who worked on my nails but I love the shape. Didn't have an appointment just walked in but got helped right away. Nails were done very well and they had many color options to choose read more

I've been coming here for years . I ONLY go to Phillip. He's fast, thorough , & I never never never never NEVER have any lifting or chipping. He gets really close to my cuticle and I can go up to 5 weeks without any issues . I love the family dynamic that this salon possesses. Phillip and his wife work here sometimestheor cousin from L.A. (not sure if they are shared owners ) but everyone helps everyone out -meaning I can get my nails done and a pedi done at the same time. Bathroom is clean and I don't know what that idiot above in her Yelp review was saying above (you know the stupid ass that only gave like 1 star Stephanie Biiiiaaaaatch , I'm assuming that's what the B. In her last name stands for ...shoulder shrug) but this place is SUPER clean!!!! If I could , I would give this place 20 stars But book in advance because Phillip gets booked faster than Lamar Odom at the Bunny Ranch lol (it's a joke people calm down ) ! But for reals Phillip needs to make business cards that read : "Phil's the real Deal" ... ya feel , Phill ?!! The only request I would ask is if they could offer real gel top coat instead of a slow processing "gel" top coat. Other than that I refer everyone here oh yea the prices are incredibly affordable 18.00 for a fill if I can remember correctly. Don't forget to tip your manicurist just because prices are low doesn't mean that you have to be a cheap ass customer - they work hard. read more

Just got mani pedi with Philip and Tina. Fast, clean, friendly, creative, neat and listened to what I wanted. Gel fill and spa pedi was $60 and honestly I've paid more for less pretty and neat work. They even did my finger nails while doing my pedi because I was in a rush. I will be back next time I'm in Bakersfield read more

Pretty good place but it's a gamble on who you'll get when you don't have an appointment. I got my gel over acrylic yesterday and went home only to find several lumpy places and spots she hadn't painted. I'm going to go back and see if they'll charge to fix them but man that's annoying for $36... I also had to tell the lady they were uneven and slanted. When you're doing your nails for a special reason you kind of want it to be a one shot deal. read more

My last visit was the worst! Ann put my dead skin under my toenails on top of my feet and gave me a disgusted smirk. This really was a turn off and I'm suppose to tip her??? In addition, sign now states they are placing disposal plastic in foot spa for our hygeine and passing $1 fee onto the customer for this service. Shop is NOT clean and I get the impression they are talking smack about the customer in their native tongue. read more

My nails are okay, but I've had better. When I called in I asked how much acrylic with color would be they told me $20. Once my nails were done they ended up charging me $35. The store was not that clean and the guy's hands, doing my nails, were shaking the whole time. He didn't trim my cuticles, nor did he put the acrylic as close as he could to my cuticles. Towards the end of my acrylic set, a friend of the nail technician came into the store which made the nail technician rush. I will not be going back. read more

ok pricing 30$ for short square nails.. not bad but literally she rushed my hand didn't use the correct bits , i asked how long she's been doing nails she said 11 years she was extremely friendly but when i first walked in the man asked what i wanted and told me the colors are on the counter and walked out the door. They're lumpy nails w bad shape. Don't recommend. read more

They took me in right away without an appointment and the guy that did my Mani Pedi did a great job. They are very hygienic and used a liner for my spa pedicure. It was $51 for gel mani and regular Pedi and took about an hour and fifteen minutes. I'm very happy with my nails!! read more

I dont like polish..I was charged an extra 5 bucks just to buff out my nails. When I asked for buff instead of polish she should have told me then it was more. I would have said no way....So I paid 17 dollars for a manicure. Unbelievable. Plus an extra dollar to use my atm card.. Will never go back to this place. Thumbs down!! read more

Best spa pedicure around. Very friendly owners. Large selection of polish colors. Highly recommend.

This salon charged you $1.00 for the spa pedicure liner. Shouldn't that be included in the price of a pedicure? They also charge you another $1.00 for using a card for payment instead of cash. I will go somewhere else next time. Hidden fees are for cable companies and cellphone plans! read more

This place always has new people. The only two that are reasonably fast and professional are never available. I set an appointment at 5:10. I was 5 minutes late and then told they took someone else before me for a pedi and fill. Loyal customer who always leaves a good tip. Ok place for people who don't work or can wait an hour. read more

Worse place to go, I rather give them No star! I don't recommend them at all. They try and charger me $5, because I wanted a different color. They are VERY rude especially the lady working, she was seriously arguing with me. They have bad customer service and rush there work ! Do not go here unless you wanted bad service. Worse nail place ever . read more
