    My Halloween nails! 'Nightmare before Christmas' theme.  Love them!

    love this place. Annie does an amazing job! I come here sometimes in a rush and she works with me and still does an amazing job!

    Absolutely amazing experience!! Annie and Tai made me feel right at home and treated me like a queen! I was recommended by a friend and I highly recommend to everyone else. It seems that they can get extremely busy... so I do suggest you call ahead and make an appointment.

    Price sheet! :)

    Been to lots of different nail salons around so cal and Modern Nails is by far my favorite! It's located in the far NW corner of the Tuskatella Center shopping plaza.. Annie is super friendly and takes the time to get to know her customers very well. Nina did an amazing job on my pedi and gel mani..talk about attention to detail. ;) The massage chairs are great, I like the shiatsu full back and seat options! The best things I like about this place are the low key, no-frills atmosphere and the lack of chemical stink in the air. *manicured thumbs up* I recommend Modern Nails for every woman and will definitely be coming back to get my and my mom's nails done here before my wedding next summer!! :)

    Ask for Nina!! She is the best!! She is very meticulous and does an amazing job on my nails every time. She does the best eyebrows too!! Love her

    This place is wonderful. They call you by name and they took extra care of my grandma who has lots of problems with her feet. These ladies are very friendly! If you want a nice pedicure and great service come here!

    The service was definitely better then ALOT of nail salons I have been to. This is a big deal to me. I like when they are appreciative of my business, since there is another salon 2 min away! However if you are looking for up to date equipment it is not here. I got a great manicure and pedicure that will last-They worked on my calluses and cuticles (sorry but true) alot...which is more important than beautiful chairs in the waiting area!

    Super cute reindeer mani and pedi

    Came here on a whim with my daughter. We both received amazing service from a very friendly, kind staff. My daughter received a really cute reindeer nail art gel manicure and matching pedicure. My gel service was very nice and meticulous. Thank you!

    My awesome nails, after 2+ weeks they still look adorable

    My family has been coming here for years, it's a small salon, so you get to know all the technicians which is nice because the work is done by the same people each time and is consistent. Everyone is professional, courteous, and my last fill and manicure lasted over two weeks! Annie does the most amazing nail art, my fish she did were so cute, she does gorgeous holiday designs. Thank you modern nail!

After my appointment, I went back and read the negative reviews, and honestly, those matched my experience much more closely. The first red flag was that I walked in to ask about pricing, then left to think about it, and one of the employees actually came out into the parking lot to convince me to come back. That immediately felt off. The second red flag was that I asked for almond-shaped acrylics, and the technician immediately started putting tips on without ever asking what length I wanted. He just assumed I wanted them short. By that point I was already committed, so I just went with it. As the service went on, I also noticed the salon wasn't as clean as I would expect. There were leftover decorations up and everything was just dirty and had stains on it, and debris around the work area, and it just didn't give me a great feeling. To be fair, the pedicure came out really nice. They opened what appeared to be a sealed pack of sanitized tools, which I appreciated, and I'm happy with how my toes turned out. The acrylic nails, though, were another story. The technician left noticeable gaps between the acrylic and my cuticles, as well as along the sides of my nails. They're also extremely thick. My boyfriend, who normally doesn't notice nails at all, actually asked if they were press-ons because they looked so bulky and fake. It's only been about a week, and because of the large gap near the cuticle, they already look like they've grown out for several weeks. I know sometimes a last-minute appointment is all you can get, and that's why I stayed. But if I could do it over again, I would have gone somewhere else. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

    I waited until I'd visited this salon a few times before writing a review because I wanted to give…read moreit a fair chance. The last issue happened last week, but I waited until today to write about it. I wanted to sit with my emotions and see if it still bothered me. It does. The salon is nice, and I can see they've tried to renovate it, but I wouldn't call it 100% accommodating. The bathroom and baseboards still look old, and the chairs don't have a massage feature. I notice details that other people might not, but none of that was a reason for me to stop coming. I told them from the beginning that I'm picky. I'm polite, but I know what I want and always tell nail salons upfront. I've been getting my nails done since I was 15, and I'm 45 now. My nails are thin and brittle, and psoriasis affects how they look. Sometimes they can look like they might have fungus, but that's what psoriasis does to my nails. I need a technician who understands that. My first appointment went well. I really liked my pedicure and the woman who did it. She's a sweetheart. The nail technician is nice and does a good job, though she has a strong personality that can come across as a little rude. I have a strong personality too, so I gave it a chance. Both technicians are fast, which I love because I travel a lot for work and don't want to spend hours in a nail salon. A full set and pedicure took about an hour and 15 minutes. Both looked cute, and I got what I wanted. About a month later, I called and asked for a fill. When I arrived, the nail technician started removing my nails. She then told me that next time we should do a fill because my nails are so brittle. I told her I had asked for a fill when I called, and that she'd said she would decide whether to remove them once she saw them. She told me that regardless of what I say on the phone, I should discuss what we agreed on directly with her when I come in. I said okay, but I also wondered why my request hadn't been communicated to her. That's part of having a receptionist. I was irritated, but my second full set and pedicure looked good, so I decided to come back. At my next visit, she removed the polish, saw that the nails underneath didn't look good, and decided to take the set off. I also switched from an oval shape to a shorter, simpler coffin shape. The next day, the color started chipping. My sister said that can happen with a solid color using gelx, but I was about to leave the country for work and wanted my nails to look professional. I called the salon, explained the chipping, and asked to come in to fix it. I offered to pay. The person on the phone insisted there would be no charge and booked me. I even asked if she was sure, and she said yes. I want to emphasize that I offered to pay because I value people's work. When I came in, they saw me fairly quickly. Nobody mentioned a charge before or during the appointment. At the end, the nail technician told me it would be $35. I paid and gave her a $7 tip. I wasn't going to change my character over it, but I was irritated. I don't know whether the receptionist failed to tell the technician what she'd promised. My issue isn't paying, I offered to do that from the beginning. My issue is being told repeatedly that I wouldn't be charged, then being charged without an explanation or apology. My nails had been done less than 9 days earlier, and she changed the color and reshaped them. Even if they wanted to charge me, they could have told me beforehand or acknowledged the miscommunication. Nobody did. I've run businesses for years, and transparency matters to me. If a client explains what they need to the receptionist, that information should reach the technician. This was the second time something I'd discussed on the phone didn't seem to be communicated. In my experience, the front desk came across as disengaged, and the communication was mediocre. I'm not naming anyone because I don't want to put anyone on blast. I hope the salon takes this as a lesson. The nails looked nice, the woman who does my pedicures is lovely, and the nail technician is quick and does good work. My biggest issue is the salon's internal communication, which shouldn't be the client's responsibility. Thank you for the services, but I won't be back.

They have a variety of options regarding the extent of service you would like to receive. They also give a complimentary beverage and have a list of nonalcoholic and alcoholic along with soft drinks and water. Only downside was the parking lot. But as long as people come and go shouldn't be to much of a problem. Would highly recommend coming here. And would definitely come back again if I'm in the area and in need of a pedicure/manicure.

She wanted to feel beautiful and feminine just like her mommy. When she was 4 years old before she was diagnosed with severe ADHD I tried taking her to several nail salons. Unfortunately, instead of patience and kindness, we were met with judgment. Because she had a hard time sitting still, people would make faces, seem frustrated, and treat her like she was a burden. As a mom, that was heartbreaking to watch, and I could see it affecting her confidence. Then I found Michelle's salon completely by chance through work, and it truly felt like a blessing from God. From the very first visit, Michelle and the entire team welcomed my daughter with open arms. They were patient, gentle, encouraging, and made the experience fun instead of stressful. They never made her feel like she was "too much." Instead, they made her feel seen, accepted, and beautiful. Today my daughter is 5 years old, has since been diagnosed with severe ADHD, and she still gets excited every time I tell her we're going to see Michelle. She feels comfortable there, confident there, and genuinely loved. As a mother, there is nothing more meaningful than seeing your child embraced for who they are. Michelle and her team don't just do beautiful nails they create a safe, welcoming space where everyone is treated with kindness and dignity. Their compassion has made a lasting impact on both my daughter and me. I will forever be a loyal customer because of the way they've treated my family. Thank you, Michelle, for reminding us that kindness is just as beautiful as the work you create.
