This is a nice and clean place that does not smell like nail polish. I like that OPI products are used. There are lots of beautiful color options to select from, which is a plus! I was impressed with how my gel manicure turned out. Helen did a wonderful job and was super fast. I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she relocated it with ease. I was probably in and out in less than 10 minutes. They take credit cards, which is convenient. read more

This place is very clean and all the instruments are sanitized. Helen who is very confident and creative in her work had just to be shown a picture of what I wanted and she was bang on with her nail artistry by picking relevant colors to get me the tiger/animal artwork that I had asked for. She also gave me a very soothing pedicure and was a charm to have a conversation with. It was my first time and I'm coming back to this place with my friends :) read more

I'm visiting Sac for a day and had to get my nails done so I tried this place. The lady who did my nails were very quick (usually it takes one hour to do fill acrylic nails but she did it in 30 mins), but very unfriendly. After she finished doing my nails, one of my nail was already messed up so I had to ask her to fix it while I was there. And this is what happened in few hours! (All I did was to eat and take shower) I'm leaving tomorrow morning so I can't go back and get it done. I wish she took time and actually did what I paid $40 for. Now I have to go get my nails fixed once I get back home. I don't recommend to go to this place. read more

Overall, this felt like a very strange experience to me. I was visiting Sacramento for a conference and wanted to get a pedicure at the end of a long week. This place was near my hotel and seemed to have relatively decent reviews. However, my experience was only mediocre. The owner (I believe her name is Helen) was far from customer service friendly from the moment I walked in the day before, until my pedicure was finished about 24 hours later. She never once smiled, nor really looked me in the face. I had booked an appointment for 5pm, but Helen was running late and seemed to have double-booked herself (in fact, there seemed to be far more customers than people available to do the work). I was finally seen at around 5:15pm (this isn't uncommon for salon services to run late, I know). My pedicure took a total of about 20 minutes (if that) and felt more like an express pedi. This is not what I was expecting and was very disappointed. Helen didn't talk to me at all during the process, but instead answered the phone as she was working on my feet. It felt very impersonal. At the time, it did appear Helen was doing a great job of cutting out a small ingrown toenail I had on one of my big toes. However, that toe is still sore a few days later and appears to be oozing a little. I don't know how sanitary the tools are that she used... The final clinch was when I went to pay by credit card, based on the sign near the cash register that showed Visa, MasterCard etc -- only to discover Helen was not taking credit cards at that time. I only had a credit card with me, and was left for about 15 minutes trying to figure out how to pay her. In the end I had to use a friend's Venmo account, which didn't feel right and was quite frustrating. I would not return and would definitely try somewhere else next time. read more

So today was my first day at this Salon. I don't get my nails done often, but I had them done a few weeks ago for my wedding and I wanted to keep up the feeling of being a little more upscale with my look (I'm generally super low maintenance and very cheap!) I chose this salon because they had 4 stars and were walking distance from my job. I called the salon to see if they had appts for 5:30pm. At first the lady on the phone sounded a little rude, but she gave me an option to come in at 5pm or 6pm. I chose 6pm. I walked in and she ask "what would you like today" and I I told her I was the one who called. There was her (Helen) and another technician named Ruby. Helen was finishing up a manicure, ruby was doing a pedicure, and there was a woman in the massage chair waiting for another pedicure. Waiting was actually enjoyable because they were playing great music, the temperature was perfect, and I got to talking with another lady who had just walked in and was waiting for service. They did a great job keeping track of who was there first (they lady that was there before me got her pedicure as soon Helen was done with the other customer's manicure). I was seen after the manicure, at about 6:10pm. Helen was amazing. She was so sweet, informative, and extremely detailed, but also very quick! I already had tips on, but she was very honest and upfront with her concern that the natural look I wanted would not look good over the tips I already had (done at a different salon). She took of my old nails so quick and smooth and applied the new ones quickly too. She ask for my liking many times throughout and politely offered her opinions/expertise too. She also waxed my my chin and upper lip quickly, painlessly, and went over with tweezers to make sure she got all the strays. I was out of the salon at 7pm, but I actually had a really good time talking with Helen. I didn't talk to Ruby too much, but she seemed really nice as well with the small amount that we did speak. I highly recommend this nail salon. read more

Had dinner around the corner from here, & as I walked back to my car I recalled I needed a fill-in. That's when how I found/saw this nail shop. *Helen, the owner was there & she took me in even though they were about to close. You know how life-saving that can feel too! I was initially there for a fill-in, acrylic square shape but she suggested coffin shape as according to her, it would like great on me (style of nail & fingers). I had never done coffin shape until I came here. WOW! Very impressed. She sure knew what she was doing. Having owned this salon for 15 years--she is very much a qualified expert! She also picked the PERFECT nail polish color for me & I could not be more pleased. Her work ethic transpired as we chatted, she mentioned she only takes appointments. She has a solid amount of regular clients, & very few staff. So, I suggest you book her ahead of time. I just got lucky--walking in. The salon was very clean & although she was quick, she was thorough. I was beyond pleased leaving her salon, & you BET I will be returning. Not only did she take me out of my comfort zone by shaping my nails in coffin shape (something new & great looking) but she also picked the EXACT color I didn't know I wanted. Give her a shot girl, I know for sure this expert can make all of your wildest nails dreams come true. read more

I came here with a group of four girls several weeks ago and we were all a bit surprised at the floridly positive reviews that Nails Galore gets. First, props to the establishment for fitting in four girls on a reservation - we called in the morning and they gave us an appointment the same day for the afternoon, which I appreciated. However, once we got there, it was sadly all sub-par for all of us. Despite the appointment, they took us all at different times - so rather than starting/ending at around the same time, we were being done in staggered and slightly-piecemeal fashion. This led to us having a lot of waiting time both when we got there and as they were finishing up with the last of us, and we were there for far longer than we expected to be. I guess I can understand if you're short staffed, but then don't commit to an appointment for four if you don't have the manpower. One of my friends just sat with her feet in lukewarm water for about 15-20 minutes until her pedicure started. My manicure was incredibly weird - no pre-cuticle softening, just starting right off the bat with removing and peeling off my dry and cracked cuticles, which surprised me. The manicurist then attacked my nails with an odd way of filing the actual surface of the nails. So odd, that when I took my paint off a week or so later, my nails were left with visible scratches, almost like someone had taken sandpaper to my nails. The hand massage portion was quite apathetic and lackluster; I felt the poor girl was about to fall asleep during the job. Additionally, my manicure started chipping immediately the next morning, and she did not paint up to the cuticle - so even with a fresh manicure it looked like my nails had already grown out. Prices are reasonable, yes, but in my experience it is sub-quality work. Too bad. Maybe it would've been better if the four of us hadn't come in together, perhaps it was too much of a workload? Regardless, would not go back next time I'm in the area. read more

Yesterday I went in with my friend who was visiting from Philadelphia and we got pedicures. What a delightful experience! The staff was very friendly and not put off by the fact that I am 6 foot five and weighs 400 pounds, and that I wanted to have my toenails painted metallic rose gold to match my iPhone. While we were sitting in the slightly older pedicure thrones, receiving a splendid massage from the mechanical fingers, a former coworker came in and she sat in the remaining throne and we grabbed about our former boss - what a hoot! My feet feel and look fantastic, and the polish totally glints in the sun, which throws off people's gender stereotypes! Win win all the way around! read more

I had usually gotten dip on my nails but Kim convinced me to try hybrid/poly ... again, so glad that she did. My nails feel lighter and stronger.

I was referred by a former coworker who told me about builder nails on toes that were misshaped. I wouldn't advise African Americans to go there though! The owner is very discriminatory and will interrogate you over the phone and pretends not to remember you each time you call back to reschedule. If you walk in to schedule an appt she will say they are booked for weeks. When you agree to be scheduled out, she will say to call, only to say they're busy and shorthanded, and tell you to call back! She even recommended I go somewhere else! Do Not Support this business. The owner responded, attempting to discredit my review, so I'll add more context. The last time I called to I book an appt, she told me they were two weeks out. She tried to give me a real early appt on a weekday, I said no, I work during the day. She said I could come on Sat, I said ok. I called the day before to confirm, she said she only had me down for the early weekday appt! I reminded her no, I accepted the early Sat appt. Again she said she didn't see it! I had to remind her of the convo, and she just said ok. Fast forward yesterday, I did call to schedule an appt and asked if there was any openings that day. She said no. No problem. Once again she started to interrogate me. Have you been here before? I said yes. She asked when I explained my initial appt. I told her I had an appt last month. She kept on asking details. I told her it was Labor Day, I'm a state worker, so I was off that day. She allegedly went through the schedule and said she couldn't find me. I told her the lady that helped me said her name was Phu. She said no one by that name works here! I replied, why do you make me feel like I need to prove myself to get an appt and patronize your business. She then tried to refer me to another business across the street! Finally she booked me for next Saturday at 10! I decided after that conversation that this was excessive, and wrote a review! I had no intention on keeping that appt! I realize businesses have the right to refuse service or say they are not accepting new clients. I am ok with that. However the customer service by the owner is unacceptable. I have been using the same tech for years, but she doesn't offer the nail builder service for pedi's , so I wanted to try someone new! Oasis was the wrong choice! Again, I must reiterate the nail techs are excellent! This is not in anyway diminishing the quality of work, just the owners treatment for no reason. I will take ownership, I should've declined to be serviced there! I DO NOT Recommend this business! By the way she called after the review, and suddenly had an opening at 4:18. No thanks!

I'm so glad I found Blush Nail & Beauty Bar! First of all, this place is BEAUTIFUL. The salon is spacious, bright, clean and relaxing, and the pedicure chairs are gorgeous and incredibly comfortable. The music was also SO GOOD! They were playing what sounded like 2000s R&B, and it honestly added so much to the whole relaxing atmosphere. I also really appreciated that they had a good selection of regular nail polish. I don't get gel, and not once did anyone question my choice or try to pressure me into upgrading to gel. That alone was refreshing. The original color I picked was very sheer, and I asked if they could put white underneath it. They explained that doing that could make it look streaky and recommended choosing another color instead. I didn't end up with the exact color I originally wanted, but I appreciated them explaining why rather than doing something they didn't think would turn out well. I still really like the soft color I ended up with. I chose their least expensive manicure and pedicure package, and I was honestly surprised by how much was included. The pedicure was wonderful -- probably the best foot massage I've ever had. It was so relaxing I was practically falling asleep! It even included paraffin wax. My manicure technician was wonderful too. She gave a great massage and was very gentle and patient with my cuticles. I can get nervous when my cuticles are pushed back and trimmed, and I felt completely comfortable here. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant, patient and welcoming. They also offer complimentary mimosas, wine and beer. I chose an ice water, and even that was delicious and refreshing. Overall, this was such a nice unexpected find during our Sacramento day. Beautiful salon, comfortable chairs, amazing music, great massages, friendly staff, regular polish without the gel pressure, and a genuinely relaxing experience. I would absolutely come here again the next time I'm in Sacramento

This was my second visit to Blush, and unfortunately, the experience was very different from my…read morefirst. I scheduled a visit a few days in advance for three people and four services and paid an $80 deposit ($20 per service) via Venmo. One person canceled that morning, but I was able to switch to a different service for myself that same day vs. losing my deposit. The two pedicures were fine. They were basic pedicures, and aside from the water initially being extremely hot, I was happy with the results. Because of the deposit, there was also no wait time. The head spa, however, was a completely different experience. This was my first head spa, so I was excited and expected it to be relaxing. Unfortunately, it was anything but. The massage was brief, and despite the menu stating that oils would be used, none were applied. During the double cleanse, the technician used her fingernails rather than her fingertips, which became painful. There was also an excessive amount of cleanser, and rinsing it out was difficult. The water temperature was extremely inconsistent--going from hot to ice cold--and water got into my ear. Instead of feeling relaxed, I was uncomfortable throughout the service. Afterward, my hair was not completely dry. When I asked for serum, I was told it had already been applied, and I had to explain that I wanted my hair fully dried and soft. Another staff member eventually finished drying it, and the end result was much better. The two services totaled $138, or $158 with a 15% tip. I shared all of this feedback with the front desk before leaving. They were receptive and said they would provide additional training. I was also told that the technician was new to the salon and has some communication issues. I appreciate that they listened to my concerns, but based on my head-spa experience, I would not return for that service. *********************************************************** FINAL THOUGHTS Making a reservation requires a deposit, but it does give you priority if there's a wait. PRO TIP: I visited on a Saturday around noon, and it wasn't busy at all. If you're coming in solo, you can probably skip the reservation and deposit. I've had two pedicures here, and the service was totally fine. No issues at all. I also clearly saw the technicians using Barbicide to disinfect their metal tools, although I didn't pay attention to where they pulled the drill bits from. Overall, the salon is CLEAN, which I really appreciate. Personally, I wouldn't get a head spa treatment here again. I was told they're having plumbing issues because the building is old and that their plumber hasn't been able to resolve the problem. However, based on my experience, I feel some of the issues were related to the technician and not just the plumbing. That said, I'd love to hear from others who have had a head spa here. How was your experience with the water temperature? Did you have a better experience with a different technician? I'd genuinely be curious to know!

My sister recommended Tracy, and I couldn't be happier that I trusted her. Tracy absolutely nailed it! The shape, length, and design were PERFECT. She paid so much attention to detail and gave me exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for someone who is talented, meticulous, and truly cares about her work, I HIGHLY recommend Tracy. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Sacramento!

I'm writing to address the experience I had at your salon today, which was not only disappointing…read morebut completely unacceptable. I have been a loyal client for over a year, consistently spending over $100 per visit, and I have always come in respectfully, communicated clearly, and expected the level of service that matches the price I pay. Today, a nail tech abruptly took over my service and immediately told me I "should go somewhere else" because I'm "never satisfied." I have never raised my voice, insulted anyone, or behaved disrespectfully. I simply expect quality for the price I pay. She went as far as saying the staff "gets scared" when I come in, which is not only unprofessional but completely false. Throughout the past year, I've also noticed that the staff frequently speaks in their language while looking directly at me or other clients, creating an uncomfortable environment where customers feel talked about instead of respected. This has happened every single time I've visited. To make matters worse, shortly before my service was finished, I overheard another woman complaining about her nail tech as well, proving I'm not the only customer experiencing issues. When I requested a small discount due to the disrespect I received, the salon refused. No apology, no accountability, and no professionalism. After a year of loyalty and hundreds of dollars spent, this is how I was treated. I will not be returning, and I hope management seriously reevaluates how staff communicates with customers and handles feedback.

Also plenty of parking in the back so no worries there. The first thing you may notice is the lack of a "chemical smell" that is typical for most shops like this. From my conversations with Nessa, this is because they use mainly organic products. With respect to the pedicure. Opted for the Luxury pedi and the staff didn't disappoint. In fact, this was my best pedi experience yet. Joy and Kay were friendly and nice. Their attention to detail was purrfect. Who would have known such a nice experience was here. Everyone was super nice and the price points are standard, although the service and the products were exceptional. I notice the details from the steam machines to the massage chairs and everything in between. Just really great people at a great shop. Feel beautiful, check my new friends at Passion. Thanks Nessa! You guys truly are the best!

Helen is an extremely rude person. She's left my nails with bumps all over them and then she gets mad when she has to fix them and she blames it on me. She will do my nails and three days later two of the nails have already popped off. She said that she is charging me six dollars for nails that pop off three days later. She lets homeless people and druggies hang out inside of her shop. She hangs out with them and says that they're her friends. She is so rude and I've seen it with my own eyes. I don't know if she is racist but she is so rude to me and I've seen her be rude to other people of color. She gives horrible service and I do not recommend her to anyone. She has major attitude and yells at me when I ask her to fix a nail. she will do my nails and the nails will come off three days later and she says that she's charging me six dollars for each nail that comes off. How is that fair if it's only been three days? She is the rudest nail technician I've ever had in my life. She gives me dirty looks in dirty facial expressions when I'm talking to her like a normal human being. i'm always extremely nice to her but for some reason she has a problem with me and I don't know why. As you can see in my photos I had just got a fresh new set and there's lines and bumps on the surface of my nails I had to go back and she had to redo it. She has a horrible job and then she gets mad when she hast to redo her own mistakes. She rushes you and puts no effort into her work read more

Was really disappointed about this place. First of all, I made an appointment at 11, called and said I was 5 min late. When I came in Helen was already working on another lady. So she told the lady to wait while I got my fill and gel. She kept trying to talk me out of the fill. After doing the fill, she rold me that another lady wa going to do the gel for me i said " but i made my appt with you" She was rushing so much that the gel was far from my cuticle. When I came from washing my hands the lady was already on my seat being helped and my purse was on the floor. She apoligized to the lady that she had to wait(as if it was her appt)I stood there for a while and finally asked how much? It's pretty cheap for how good they looked minus the gel and she was done working 40 min with everything. It's really sad though how they can treat customers and still expect a good tip. read more

I was really pleased with the cleanliness and promptness of this place! I was a walk-in, and they were clearly busy but made time for my gel full set, and did my gel pedicure SAME TIME (this saves me lots of time). I'm a full time working mom, and I don't have 2 hours to spend at the nail salon every 2 weeks, so I really appreciate the thorough, fast job that they did. And my nails stayed perfect for like, 3 weeks!!! I'm definitely going back. read more

I had a great experience at Nails Galore! The nail technician was friendly, professional, and paid attention to the details. My manicure and pedicure came out looking clean and polished, and the salon itself is bright and welcoming. The only minor downside was that my appointment started a few minutes late, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. I'll definitely be back for my next nail session! read more

He did a great job and gave an epic foot/leg rub. I like the upgrade that you can get with the various scrubs and masks and the paraffin wax. I've been to Le for my manicures. She does a great builder gel manicure. She takes direction well and really listened when I said I didn't like the base color. I've been in salons before where you try to give some feedback during the manicure and the technician gets spicy, but not Le. She wants to make sure I'm happy with the service. The first visit I got a neutral pink, but on the second visit, I kind of threw something complicated at her and I walked away quite happy. I got some burgundy witchy nails with gold stars and moons. I'm really happy with my manicure and it's holding up well. My nails feel really strong. I will definitely return to this business.

Still a perfect service.

So this review is very personal but by far this last experience was the worst and I definitely won't be coming back ever again. Might I mention she is the only one in the WHOLE ENTIRE shop that does decent nails so if your looking for good quality I wouldn't even recommend.. She clearly just hires anybody and doesn't care but anyways I had an appointment at 1 and if you know Holly she always over books herself so when I walk in there's somebody in her chair already, so of course she sends me to the pedicure chair. Might I mention I came for nails!!! Not a pedicure and the reason being is NOBODY in that chop shop can do feet and it's been like that for yearssss, but I digress an I sit. I was in that chair for a hour and 30min for a 45$ pedicure!!! The absolute worst pedicure I ever received in life.. the shape? Ok but the paint job? -100/10 , the nail polish was so lumpy and I get French tip the lines weren't even straight. So yesss I get upset and agitated and mention something to Holly.. mind you she knows how picky I am but she got upset that I was upset and no longer wanted to do my nails because she " doesn't deal with attitude " but she had an attitude the moment I walked in and I never even came for a pedicure!!! Like we literally started arguing over the work I received and I didn't understand lol am I not supposed to speak up about something I don't like for something I'm paying for?? Oh ok an I should of knew she was on bullshit because when I first got there I asked to see her glitter and she didn't wanna show me but kept asking me what color I wanted like girl how would I know if you won't show me the colors tf. The whole experience was just very unpleasant and too much... so if you're looking for an unprofessional, rushed, not good quality experience this is definitely the place an exactly why I stopped coming to her in the first place!!! Oh and the more money you make the more she's gonna charge you lol she charges by your profession and not the actual set your getting. Goodluck

Consistency is everything when it comes to a nail salon, and they deliver every single time. The service is always warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They remember you, they listen to what you want, and they never rush through an appointment. I always leave feeling taken care of. And the humor? Elite. The nail techs are so naturally funny that appointments fly by. It never feels stiff or transactional -- it feels like you're hanging out while getting top-tier work done. The vibe alone keeps me coming back. As for the quality, it's flawless. Clean shaping, smooth finishes, detailed designs, and nails that actually last. No lifting, no random chips a few days later. After a year of appointments, the standard has never dropped. When you find a place that's this consistent for over a year, you stick with it. Five stars, always.

Although I'm sure her student is talented, my appointment was specifically booked with Tina, and I was disappointed that this wasn't communicated ahead of time. I had been going to Tina for a few months and always booked simple clean-ups with no polish, still paying full price and leaving a tip each time. I drove 30 minutes to the salon and felt that my time and loyalty weren't respected. Tina later reached out and offered me a discount to make things right, but when I followed up by text, she stopped responding. Overall, I wish there had been better communication and follow-through, as the experience left me feeling disregarded as a returning customer. However, Tina is very good at what she does and the space is very clean. There is also parking available.
