While the nail service itself was fine, I do not recommend because it was an awful experience due to the poor quality of the shops equipment and appearance overall. Considering the condition of the shop, I do not imagine the tools that are used on nails are cleaned and sanitized either. Tables, chairs, lamps are visibly torn and taped up. Pedicure tubs not attached so you are forced to hold it close to chair with your legs under tension. It is awful because you are constantly having to shift around to accommodate the nail service and keep the tub backed against chair at the same time. There were 4 men and 1 elderly woman running the place . Take from that what you will read more

I was able to get a same day appointment with John. He is quick and does a really nice job. The salon is dated and dusty. It really needs a good cleaning and some updating. read more

Mink nails is fantastic. My nails have never looked so beautiful. I live in Calabasas, and there are plenty of nail salons near me, but I drive all the way to Thousand Oaks because they are better than any of the others! The atmosphere is great, amazing message chairs, and everyone is so nice! Cathy Shandler read more

We called ahead of time for 2 pedicures. They made it seem like they were slammed and so busy. When we arrived only 1 other person there. They started on me but not my sister. She sat there in her chair for 15 minutes while 2 employees sat next to her on their cell phones (loudly watching Family Guy). When they finally got around to my sister, they just gave us the basic pedicure (didn't ask if we wanted anything extra) and she really wanted extras to spoil herself. When it came time to pay, my sisters cost TWICE as much as mine ($50 for a basic pedicure!!!!) They added $25 for callous remover and 5 mins extra massage. WOW!!! read more

i went in for gel x, i had zero issue with the nails that were done on me. exactly how i asked them to. ben is a great artist but unfortunately a dirty nail file was used on me. they also fell off within 5 days of being on. i didn't rip them off or touch them, they peeled off. i then asked for a refund and they gave me a 40$ refund (originally 80) without tip. i went back to give them a second chance and got acrylics instead. used with a dirty file AGAIN!! and guess what, they fell off within a week. i called and expressed my concern to the work and state of my nails and was refused a refund and instead was blamed for taking them off myself which i didn't do. the manager did nothing but talk rudely to me. i do not suggest this place. stay far far away. horrible management. "it's your fucking nails that are terrible not us". STAY AWAY FROM HERE!! read more

Nancy! Oh Nancy!! So my twin texted me he had been told his feet got called "neMANderthal" recently. Well what can I say we're identical. Though TBH mine very well may have been worse!! Didn't want to present my unkempt feet to a podiatrist the next day. So I searched Yelp and dropped by Mink hoping for a same day appointment. Told them I was willing to wait. Was directed to a chair, got comfortable and was prepared to wait. They took me as a walk-in. A little later, OMG, I'm so glad I met Nancy. While my hearing isn't so good & Nancy's accent behind a mask presented a challenge, she went straight to work. Her diligence and attention to detail was remarkable! Before I had arrived, I thought maybe my feet would come out something like a re-tread. OH NO they were much MORE LIKE A NEW SET OF WHEELS!! Nancy put in the extra effort taking my neMANderthal feet through croMANgnon to a pair of baby smooth soles & ten shiny piggies that the Queer Eyes for the Straight Guys [sorry I'm old :-P] would praise. She spent easily about an hour with me. And, likely with a bit of a change in shoe size & shedding some weight, the price was only $40! read more

It took me awhile to find a great nail salon similar to the one in Minneapolis . Thanks to Yelp reviews ! I currently live in Ventura and drive to Thousand Oaks just to get my nails done ! I've been to several nail salons in Ventura and Oxnard and was not satisfied with anyone . I finally found a person who does my nails perfectly in Thousand Oaks ! John did my nails exactly as I requested . He exceeded my expectations ! See picture below. This place is clean and quiet . Not like the nail salons where everyone is talking loudly and you feel like you're just a number . The nail technicians at Mink Nails actually converse with you and you feel like a valued costumer ! Well at least I did ! Kindness and courtesy go a long way ! Keep up the good business ! read more

Mink Nails & Spa - Pink and white ombré with chrome ! - Nail Salons Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

A+ all around! This place checks all the boxes and it all begins with the courteous staff, their meticulous attention to detail, and love for the craft. Nail places are a dime a dozen, but THIS place is superb. I've been getting my nails done since I was what like five, and they did an incredible job with manicure and pedicure. Kuddos to Tom for being so amazing, and creating a beautiful french manicure for me using my natural and short nails, and Nancy- she's like the sweet momma bear who everyone just loves, a radiant sweet and super talented nail technician with the Black Ray Ban frames Thank you! read more

I've been coming to Mink Nails for the last couple years ever since moving to the area. When I came in the other night for a manicure, I couldn't decide whether I should get a fill or new set of acrylics. John, the nail tech and I believe the salon owner, was incredibly rude to me since I couldn't decide what I wanted. While I know it can be frustrating to have an indecisive client, being rude and disrespectful is not the way to go. I decided to leave as I didn't want to continue sitting there while he was treating me unkindly. After all, I am a paying customer. The silver lining is that I found an even better salon a few blocks away called Village Nails & they're absolutely incredible! Not only do they do a fantastic job but they're hospitality is another level. Simply being kind goes a long way. Sorry Mink Nails but I will no longer be a regular customer. read more

This is a horrible place to go to. I think it's all new people here all men except for one girl and the men don't know what they are doing. Pedicure was horrible their seats are all busted. I will never patronize here ever again. Try at your own risk. I also saw them using the same file on two people. Wish I could get my money back and give no stars. Dirty establishment and the price was too much for what they offer!!! read more

My absolute fave nail spot in T.O. Been my monthly spot for the past 2 years. I can't say a single negative about any appointment I've had. They've all been fantastic and the staff are so sweet, professional and pleasant to be with. I thank Katy, Kelly and Elle, they are my fave ladies to have take care of my hands and toes. Owners Jon and Sue are absolutely wonderful Kelly always does the best designs! She did this set today and was so thorough on all aspects down to each lil leaf. Thank you! read more

If you're looking for a nail salon you DEFINITELY need to see Katie at Mink! Absolutely the best acrylics I've had. Beautiful freehand French tips and she had never done this design before but nailed it! Pun intended I don't think I could see anyone else for my nails from now on. The photo of the blue nails was my original full set, but I forgot to take a picture right out of the shop so this was about a week and a half after they were done, and still looking amazing. The other two pictures are my acrylic fill from today! Obsessed! I also saw John for a pedicure and he was so gentle and did a VERY good job! read more

My last time going here. I honestly don't like leaving bad reviews but this is what this page is for, honest feedback, so here it goes: 1. I went with a picture that was supposedly done by them and I left with sloppy half completed results. When I showed them the picture, they didn't tell me their machine was broke and they couldn't do ombré. Instead, he tried to fill in the color with a sponge. No t You have to run an honest business. If you can't deliver what is asked for, then be upfront and honest from the beginning. I could have chosen a different design. 2. My nails are filled in uneven and missed color on the sides. . I pay to get my nails painted. Not partially but all sides and corners. If you are someone who pays attention to detail, then I don't recommend this place. This is my 2nd time going and leaving disappointed. My nails are uneven, bubbly, extra thick coating, sides not fully painted.... read more

Incredibly satisfied with my service here! The staff was friendly, polite, and professional. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing day at the nail salon read more

I came here once, going again in a few days. Ben gave me a fill and a chrome gold polish. Their prices are better than anyone else I've been to in thousand oaks, and their service is nice. The nail business in Ventura County is dropping in quality, so I'm glad I found this salon. I hope they remain consistent. I've had the worst luck with nails read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I have never had an experience like this before. The man who started doing my manicure spoke to me with so much attitude. They did my toe nails and afterwards informed me that they dont have the matching gel color for my manicure. The man who was doing my manicure (they refused to give me his name) was extremely rude. When I said why didnt you guys tell me before that you did not have the matching gel, all hell broke loose and he started to get upset that I even asked that! I eventually said im done. I paid and walked out. The manager took my payment and apologized. He said he heard the whole thing and he is very sorry his coworker acted like that. Again, they refused to give me their names. They were both men who appeared to be in their 30's or 40's. I was a first time customer and will never give my business to this place again. There's plenty of other nail salons in the area who do a fantastic job, are much cleaner of an establishment, and actually appreciate your business. This all happened on Saturday 8/10/2024 around 3PM (providing this information for the owner when they see this) read more

John is amazing. He's great at what he does and a pleasure to be around. He's kind and is always accomodating when I make my appoitments. Highly recommend him and his salon! read more

I really wanted to like this place, I just had my nails done two days ago, I had called to make an appointment which they were very nice and accommodating. I showed the nail tech a pic of what I had wanted done, it was one of their pictures too, something simple and short. The application process was going well, but towards the end I felt that the tech began to rush the process, I tried to point out the flaws and how my nails on one hand looked different from the other, he quickly brushed it off and said no they look fine. I am not happy about my nails at all. read more

Impressed with the quality and results but my technician made a big stink when I asked him to push my cuticles back with the metal tool, telling me it's bad for me. Although I didn't agree nor was a fan of that, the result was great, but will have to go a second time to see if it's just as good and lasts as long or if this was a one time thing read more

Well I started coming here many years ago, before COVID I was seeing by some men and were not very nice . I came back after reading reviews about Kelly she was amazing until she left. Elle stayed in her place and was wonderful. I will follow her everywhere since she has now left as well. Salons like Mink should really value people like her. read more

I came here as a walk-in and for the first time and got a surprisingly quick and absolutely beautiful mani-pedi! I asked Elle for the design in the first picture attached from Pinterest, and she "nailed" it! She worked so speedily yet so skillfully. My hand is the second picture, and the nails are absolute perfection. The whole staff are very friendly and wonderful. Nancy did my toes beautifully as well, and she is a sweetheart. I may have a new go-to nail place! Edited to add: it looks like the pictures are appearing in reverse order. The example from Pinterest is the one with the car steering wheel in the background. The other picture is my hand! read more

Two pedicures came to $98 before tip, which seems awfully steep for a strip mall salon with questionable sanitation practices. No pricing posted anywhere in the shop to verify if we were charged correctly. I asked that my nails be trimmed but they were left so jagged that I ended up having to cut them myself after leaving. Would not return. read more

Go see my girl Katie! She's the most patient nail professional out there and I'm the pickiest client lol. Cleans cuticles like a pro and will make any design come to life! I was never able to get my nails done before because of how thin and damaged they would be after. I used to get get dip. Now I get the bio gel on both hands and toes and I'm never going back to dip. #yourewelcome read more

I am giving this salon one star solely for the callus removal included in the pedicure. The technician, a young girl whose name I did not get, did a very bad job with the polish application, leaving it bumpy and uneven. Fortunately, I chose a light color, which somewhat masked the imperfections. The most concerning issue occurred during the callus removal. She used the same abrasive tool on a small bump on my little toe, rubbing so harshly that she made it bleed. Rather than apologizing or attempting to disinfect the area, she continued working on my nails until I pointed out the bleeding. At that point, a male staff member noticed and applied a bandage, offering a quiet, insincere "I'm sorry." This level of service is unacceptable, and I am deeply dissatisfied with the care I received read more

I've been going to Mink salon for years. Always high-quality work. My bio-gel nails last forever, they even withstood the test of an intense home remodel period with lots of painting, caulking and cleaning! Great, hard working staff that never rush through your appointment. Highly recommend read more

Now that I'm not emotional, as I was hurt and kind of offend by the owner/manager my last visit I would like to clarify my business concern of this salon: -Their Services and Pricing are not clearly available to the client. Not online, nor social media, and not inside the salon. -Services with up-charges are not clearly communicated with client, nor are they posted anywhere. -The same service with a different technician is a different price and it is not clearly stated. -The same service can be a different price depending on if the owner/manger checks you out (even though the service was done my the same technician as the times before.). He seems to always want to charge me $5-$10 more than what I usually pay for the same services with the same technician. read more

John was amazing, fast and efficient. Did a great job with my ombré refill. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is my REFIlLL was 60$.... Kind of feel a little swindled but hey at least my nails look good. Not from the area so maybe it's just me read more

Not only did my gel manicure all chip off two days after getting my nails done; I was significantly overcharged. I was charged $83 for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. When I called I was accused of lying about my services. They checked the cameras and then said I was given additional services that I did not ask for and was not asked about. read more

I don't usually do negative reviews but this time, I'd like to warn others. Very very poor customer service!! I've had three appointments there and each time I have been kept waiting 15-20 minutes past my appointment time. They have lost my business. read more

I have been a loyal customer to this establishment for years and I've always given great tips. Tom has always done an amazing job with my nails. This past week, I had an experience that had me decide I'll never go there again. On a Sunday, I had gotten a fresh Gel X set by the manager, who doesn't normally do my nails. Within 3 days, one nail popped off out of nowhere. I went back to get it fixed and they charged me $5 (wtf) to get it fixed. The next day, a second nail popped off out of nowhere. I went back a third time to get it fixed and asked not to be charged. Within the next few days, 5 more nails popped off. SEVEN nails total within 10 days of getting my nails done. Keep in mind, my sets usually last 4+ weeks when the other guys do them. I sent a very polite text to the manager asking if I can get the set redone free of charge. He had the nerve to tell me no, he'll only give me 20% of my money back, and I should take that money and go somewhere else since "we will all be uncomfortable." Almost $100 later for nails that didn't even last a few days. I was never rude, I always overpaid, and I never complained when they had me waiting for 30 minutes past my appointment time regularly. Worst way a business could handle a unsatisfied customer. Not going back. read more

I was visiting town and went this past Tuesday, Dec. 10th for a dip powder gel manicure. First off, it was the most painful experience I have ever had. You can see under the thumb nail how deep they cut and other fingers had smaller cuts. They also didn't go back to clean up the messy paint job, but then again, it would have hurt so bad with the acetone on the cuts. So I'm stuck with a messy job and cuts that hurt.. To top it off, the paint is already chipping after only 3 days. I've gotten dip powder gel for awhile now, and they typically last me about 2 weeks in perfect condition. They charge $45 for dip powder and they decided to bring it down to $35 because of the cuts. But $30-$35 is the normal cost for a painless, clean dip powder gel manicure that lasts... It sucks that I picked this red color because I don't think the man could see I was bleeding and didn't take me seriously the first two times I said it was hurting and I was bleeding. Its sad because the oman doing my nails was being gentle at first and maybe got tired or anxious to go smoke (he smelled like cigarettes) but it's still not fair. I'm truly sorry for this negative review, but I've never had such a painful experience at a nail salon. Please don't sand off my skin :'( read more

I had a great experience here with Tom doing Gellix on my fingernails & Ben handling the pedicure. The salon is incredibly clean. They are constantly mopping & cleaning off stations. The comfy chairs are older, a bit rundown & do not offer the massage functionality that I generally associate with nail salons & I did miss that, but 1st & foremost they are a nail salon & I give them an A+ on great service, and the most thorough nail care I've seen. read more
