    Another perfect acrylic set at Modern Nails, by Malena! She always she gets the shape just right, this time it's extra special since these are for my wedding! Malena went above and beyond. The whole salon has a great vibe and everyone is so nice.

    Two chipped nails
    Tina K.

    Went to get a manicure and eyebrow wax for the Labor Day holiday and before starting a new job. Staff was friendly but my Gel manicure chipped three days later and one week later I now have two chipped nails. I asked for red the tech recommended this pink glitter shade she said if it chips you won't be able to to tell haha Well it's not haha because they chipped and look terrible three days later. My eyebrow wax I told her don't take a lot just clean them up. They are now uneven she took to much out of the middle when I told her she said my eyes were uneven and to go get Botox!!!!! I had to start a new job looking like a straight up clown! They made me pay in cash so I can't dispute the charges. Nail tech took 1.5 hours to do a gel manicure that chipped!!! Waste of time and money!!!!

    Perfect manicure!

    Malena took over this shop about a year ago & though there are more than a dozen nail shops within 3 miles of my home, Modern Nails is so worth the 30 minute drive to Turlock! Malena and her staff are friendly & attentive, and the shop is clean and inviting. She's invested in education & keeping up with the latest technologies & products. My nails are problematic but Malena found a new Builder Gel that's perfect & I'm very pleased with my nails. The Technicians take their time & go to any lengths to ensure customers are satisfied. I'm definitely a regular & highly recommend Modern Nails to anyone looking for quality nail care.

    Low key Halloween vampy vibes. Thanks Malena.

    If you want Quality..... let's add Friendly. Great Service. Great vibes every time. This is your spot. Malena is a secret central Valley gem, she's always my go to for something fun, sexy and fem- she's got talent for days and I'm done keeping her a secret.

    It was my friends' and my first time coming here, and we needed to get our toes done ASAP for a trip the next day--there were four of us. We were told only one person specialized in toe acrylics, but she was with another client and since it was July 4th and they were closing early at 3 PM, the wait would be long. Some of us adjusted what we wanted to help with timing, but since it was my first time getting acrylics on my toes, I decided to wait. A different technician helped me, but unfortunately, I wasn't happy with how my set turned out--it was too thick for my liking. Thankfully, the owner and her sister noticed I was unhappy and stepped in right away to redo my set. They really cared about making sure I left satisfied. They also offered drinks and snacks, and the entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. Overall, it turned into a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back to get my toes done again!

    So happy to have found Malena at Modern Nails! I was looking for a new nail tech and found malenas work on yelp. She was super friendly and did exactly what I was looking for- definitely will be going back!

    The customer service was amazing, they made me feel very welcomed and relaxed. Malena brought me back to life with a full set pedicure and manicure, she definitely worked her magic on these bad boys, I'll definitely be back!

    Modern Nails is top-notch! The service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and full of good vibes. I was hesitant, It has been over 20 years since I had my nails done due to a bad experience at a different shop. Here at modern nails, Malena took great care of me and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations -- my nails have never looked better, check out the pictures she is amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and beautiful results!

    Malena is literally the best! she's very attentive to your wants and needs on what you want done. She made sure I was okay with everything before moving on, she made sure i was comfortable, and she is just the sweetest! Super clean place and such a great vibe to go and relax while getting your nails or toes done! The ladies there are all super nice and sweet! She outdid herself with her services today making sure everything was to my liking! Totally recommend coming here you won't regret it!

    Under new ownership! Very clean and relaxing. New up to date nail products. Malena gives the best pedicures...she pays attention to detail. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    The staff are so friendly, the space is spotless, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I left feeling pampered and will definitely be coming back!

    When I started getting my nails done again I came back to Modern Nails and Mal was there as a nail tech and was soon to take over the business. She's been doing my nails for about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier with the quality of my nails, the service provided and her friendly attitude. She has updated the business for the better- the salon is very clean and well maintained. Mal has made quality improvements in every area! I'm a busy Mom and my nails last for weeks, but coming in is a treat! Highly recommend a full set and your fills here!

    Big shout out the the new owner Malena, she has been doing my nails for about two months now (I've been going to modern nails for years though) and let me just say her sets are beautiful. The salon as a whole is a very comforting atmosphere and everyone is very kind. I highly recommend it to anyone that needs their nails done in the turlock area!

    See all

    I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at this salon. During my pedicure, there was a…read morecockroach in the water while my feet were soaking. I immediately brought it to the technician's attention, and she removed it with her gloves--but then continued working on my feet with the same gloves, without washing hands or changing them. She threw the cockroach away in the trash and another guy ran to empty out the trash, surely before I took a photo or video. There was no apology, no effort to restart the service with proper sanitation, and the situation was not handled professionally. This raised serious hygiene concerns for me. I contacted my doctor and now I am advised to keep an eye on my feet -look for redness, swelling, cuts, or signs of infection over the next few days. I'm keeping record of this whole situation with my Dr in case I need move forward with a more serious and medical complaint. In addition, I did not receive the full service I paid for (the massage was skipped), and my preferences were not respected during the appointment. It also felt like they rushed to get me out of there as quickly as possible. Despite all of this, I was still charged full price. I attempted to address this directly with the guy at the front desk "in charge" but he pretended that he didn't know what had happened even tho I saw the girl who was working on my toes go to him a few times and chatted with him. His only response to me was "I have to call pest control". If it is not properly resolved -with a full refund, I will be filing a formal complaint with the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology regarding the sanitation practices I experienced. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon. -----UPDATE----- Thank you for your response. However, I'm disappointed that no one has contacted me directly to address this situation. Given the seriousness of the sanitation concerns I experienced, along with being charged full price for an incomplete service, I am requesting a full refund and direct follow-up from management. A general statement about reviewing this "internally" does not resolve the issue or address the impact of what occurred. Please contact me within 3 business days to resolve this matter. If I do not hear back, I will be proceeding with filing a formal legal complaint, complaint with the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and updating my review to reflect the lack of resolution. I would prefer to resolve this directly and give your business the opportunity to make this right.
