Do any salons around here actually do real manicures anymore? This is the 3rd place I've been to in town when asking for a manicure and gel set that they've completely neglected giving me an actual manicure. They didn't soak my nails before trimming , they never touched my cuticles, and no hand massage. I'm from Fresno and any place I've been to there, those are standard for a manicure. When I wanted a new set I was pressed for a fill, I had to be firm with my choice. After they drilled down the layer of gel, they ripped of my nail by sliding another nail underneath. It hurt! I pulled my hand away and asked what she was doing and that she ripped off half my nail and her response was you wanted a new set right. I asked about soaking off but she did not want to do that because it takes at least 1 hour. She said she can fill or do this. I should have left. But I stayed and proceeded to let her rip every nail off. It was so painful. I started sweating from the pain and my finger tips were throbbing with pain for a few hours after and tender the rest of the day. Why did I stay? Because last time I was here they did such a great job on my nails.. This time not so much, but these were different techs touching my nails. This time my nails were not natural looking, slightly bulky. There is the old green polish from my last set still on the edges of my nails. And some of the gel has bubbles. Two techs touched my nails. One put the new set on, the other reshaped the set and painted. I wanted ombré, but she didn't think it would look good with short nails, then I showered her a pic with nail art to see if she could do it, she said she can't do art. So I settled for solid colors. I do love the colors I picked though. I would have given 1 star but like I said last time my nails came out so great. The man up front did my set last time, a fill, and then a lady painted them and did cute daisies (I was told she was off on maternity leave this time).

Nails by Steven has great quality of service. They truly are a company that provides support if there is an issue. I've been coming to this nail salon for acrylics since 2022 and I usually get a nice woman named Nalee. She is very amazing. She puts in the work to ensure that your nails look just how you like them. She is tedious and pays great attention detail. With that, she is time efficient and ensures to get you in and out. She asked me about my plans coming up and we were able to chat. The vibe was calm and made me feel relaxed. I highly recommend Nails by Steven, and if you go, see if Nalee is working.

Shit

The service was super horrible I was looking for a new nail place since I just moved to Modesto with my in laws. Thought i would give it a try I sat down and waited there was no one in line. The lady said she will be right with me. Then two other girls walk in and sit down and the lady automatically takes the 2 girls in before me . What kinda business are they running here. ? very Very rude and disrespectful lady owner once I confronted her about being the first one there and waiting for a while. Smh Do not come here I've seen a lot of mixed reviews but this is by far the worst place I've been to plus the lady argued with me so I just walked out never going back. I would give no stars if I can

Rude guy Steven I made an appointment. My appointment was at two. I brought my mom with me and show me weighs 76 pounds and I asked them if they could put her in the child seat because she's really small I am and he was like no no then just yours and I told him I'm like the whole purpose was to bring her so that she could get her toes done you know and he was just really rude. He was like no no and I was like come on like you know what I'm saying and then finally, I get him to do it and then he has a problem with doing mine so I just said forget it I just thought it was Hella rude like you would think he would be more mindful. You know what I'm saying just I don't know it would've been nice he could've just been nice about it.

Fill set

i would give 0 stars but it's not a option! went in for a manicure but ended up with sore finger tips - he never touched my cuticles or soaked them to trim , he filed my gel polish off with the electric file then started filing my own nails down to the tips with a acrylic file so close 3 of them feel raw and super sore to touch ! i do not recommend!! paid 40 $ with a tip i tipped only because i felt pressured with my manicurist standing over me !! this was 9-18-23 around 1:40 pm

my nails done here about a month ago

AMAZING!!!!!!!! if you want long lasting nails go here... these literally stayed on me for a month and i took them off myself, they didn't even break. they looked great, shiny and pretty no matter what got on them, and their environment is clean and nice. theyre also really fast with nails too. love this place!!! would reccomend

LOVE this nail salon! I've been coming here since 2017 and have never had a bad experience. They're always so friendly and never disappoint! I stopped doing acrylics for a couple of years and recently came back and it was like I never left! Here's just some pictures of the nails I've gotten here, wish I had more!

Every woman should experience a waxing at least once in her lifetime. And if she lives in the Bay…read moreArea, she should go see my friend Crystal. So a gentleman friend of mine decided he wanted to treat me to a wax as a belated birthday present. I have never had one and felt that it was not only wanted, but necessary. (In other words, I had a forest growing with bushes and tumble weeds.) He told me to find somewhere and tell him how much it cost. I didn't have to look at all! Of course I'm going to one of my most favorite people in the world with all the knowledge and passion for what she does. Now as her friend I was comfortable but still embarrassed. Don't ask me why. Maybe because I knew my who-ha would be in the air and that's a bit outside the norm. But of course, I know Crystal is the absolute professional. She has goodies, beautiful decor, neatly labeled supplies, sterilized tools, clean floors, signage, price lists and products for sale. Clean. Painless. Professional. Easy. Pleasant. Quick; not rushed, but efficient. Knowledgeable. Affordable. That's pretty much all you need to know. Very cute and quaint studio. Simple and easy. Refer a friend or two. Support small businesses. You'll never go to European Wax Center again, I promise.

I had been a customer for years 4 plus and thought that I should have been made aware of the move but was not. I had purchased waxing services by the year and paid $540 upfront. This has been the case for years prior. Crystal had always gone red my services until now. I had several waxes left when she moved but was informed that my waxing contract expired. After reading the contract it is true it had expired but how unprofessional to have not given me a courtesy reminder prior to the expiration or moving towns. I randomly went to book a wax in September last year and seen the address had changed. I text her to inquire about the move and she responded by confirming the move stating she had just reopened. Unfortunately the vibe of excellent customer service is gone. All the five star reviews from Stockton should be removed as it gives customers a false impression. Make sure you read reviews for new Modesto location! I can no longer recommend this business.

I arrived about 5 mins early for my 4:30p-6p appointment, filled out some quick paperwork, used the restroom, then was immediately brought back to the room and changed just my top half into the soft towel wrap -so most likely started at or a little after 4:30p. The facial was lovely. When I was told all done, I got up and changed, then looked at the time and it was only 5:37p.. I tried to mention at checkout it was nice but more like 60 minutes, but either wasn't heard or ignored. I paid majority with the gift card and just a little out of pocket for the diff/tip and left.

Checking was easy and prompt, I had made an appointment earlier in the day... I would like to get to where I have a regular person here for my services, and I may have found them today! I tend to like to just relax when I'm getting my nails done, no offense but I don't like to chat and have that whole conversation thing. So I got two technicians today that were perfect! First was Will, I got a pedicure with regular paint. Very gentle kept checking to make sure all was well gave a really good massage very thorough painted my nails beautifully. I would like to figure out how to have a little longer soak in a little hotter water, so I need to figure out what to ask for to make that happen but other than that it was perfect. Then I got builder gel with very short tips for the first time, with Terry. They couldn't be any more perfect than they came out! Exactly what I wanted. I was going to say no polish on the top but he showed me a clear tiny bit tinted top and I agreed. I want to go out my real nails, and this will get me on my way. I like that I could relax and let them do what they do so well, without having to make small talk.. outside of checking in to make sure I'm okay and that what they were doing was good. I appreciated the relaxing me time. I will be back in 3 to 4 weeks. And I'm going to look for Will and Terry for sure! Thank you for the excellent service beautiful clean salon, very welcoming.
