-5 stars, they only care about how much money they can take from you not how well of service the can provide. I wanted square some how I got a beetle shape with tons of texture I have given this place many chances but the last time was it for me. I have *had long natural nails and communicated to the tech I'd like to keep my length light file NO clippers AND SHE CLIPPED them all off as I slightly turn my head to say something to my friend, proceeding to tell me to buy extensions. Omg I couldn't believe it. Then she is gluing on the extensions used for acrylic mind you I just wanted builder gel on my long natural healthy nails I let. The more she continues the more she's doing the opposite of what I the paying customer wants. So the front desk lady comes up and yells at me saying "you're too complicated". So I pay the dues tip and got to Ocean Nails & Spa and they fixed me right up. Save your money and go else where! read more

This is probably my 3rd time coming to @ Nails. I really liked their new booking system. It turned out to be meaningless. I have a 30 minute rule. If I make an appointment and wait over 30 minutes then I just leave. No scene. I simply walk out. I started to do that at around the 20 minute mark after I watched someone come in after me and be seen before me. The front desk woman chased after me and basically apologized and begged me to come back. I acquiesced after she said she could still get me about by 5:30 pm (original appointment length). The pedicure was going fine. Then a woman came to start my manicure and almost immediately cuts my skin under my nail. She apologized but I could tell she was nervous after that. She squirted cuticle softener everywhere. Finally she asked to switch with the lady doing my pedicure. Now the lady doing my manicure cuts me and draws BLOOD. At this point, I'm fed up so I told the manicure lady to just stop. I've honestly never experienced someone cutting me and then another person cutting me too. And then saying oh you have a lot of skin. Wtf?! The front desk woman came over and said I didn't have to pay, apologized and ran off. Honestly I would never come back here based on the lack of regard for appointment times. The one positive thing is they do offer a really nice set of beverages while you sit. read more

@ Nails - My cut nail - Nail Salons Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I had a really disappointing experience here. I paid for a deluxe pedicure that lasted only about 25 minutes, which already felt rushed. The quality of the service reflected that--my technician did a poor job, and I even had to ask her to go back and clean up my cuticles. I also got a full set of nails, and that turned out just as frustrating. I was asked what length I wanted, and after getting one hand right, the technician cut the other hand significantly shorter. Instead of fixing it properly, he ended up shortening all of my nails to "match," leaving them much shorter than I asked for. The design I requested only partially resembles what I showedit looks incomplete and nothing like what I had hoped for. To make matters worse, I came in planning to use a gift card. By the time I was done, the manager had already left, and I was told I couldn't use it because of that. That should have been communicated upfront, not after the service was already done. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing visit. I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend confirming payment options especially gift cards, before getting any services. read more

At the spur of the moment I decided to get a manicure today at @Nails. I was considering upgrading to the paraffin deluxe manicure. But unfortunately I did not know I needed to mention it when I came in. I made an appointment on the website. Which is a nice feature. Their website is quite good. I was able to get an appointment scheduled for half an hour later. I haven't had my nails done in a while (as seen below in the before picture). It was a quick and manicure with regular nail polish. (I don't bother with gel polish or nail extensions and I am hard on my hands and I have yet to find a salon where the nails/gel polish last for more than 3-5 days). The technician was fast and my cuticles and nails were trimmed and painted (no topcoat) within 20 minutes. I sat at the drying station for about 5 or so minutes before the tech came over to put on a top coat. I was told to sit there for 5-10 minutes to dry. I waited a bit longer, 15-20 minutes. I was not rushed by any means. I noticed there was over paint on the sides of a few of my nails. The generously applied topcoat started to have some odd wrinkling. I'm guessing that it was because the polish underneath was not completely dry. I will have to try here again now that I understand their services a bit better 1. I didn't know that you have to check in on the tablet when you come in. 2. You have to ask for any upgrades to your service (it's a nice no pressure environment). 3. Bring cash to save on your services. (They have an upcharge for using credit cards) read more

I would definitely not recommend this place.. the lady up front was very friendly and welcoming. My friend and I had an appointment and we still had to wait. 30 minutes. They overbooked multiple people and even turn people away because of their booking issues. When I was finally seated, I showed the nail tech two pictures of two separate nails I was interested in, and he told me they don't do cat eye... which seem to be a lie, and then I asked about the second picture, and he told me that it was going to be extra for each individual nail he decorates and I told him that would be fine. I have money to pay, and he just stared at me, the young man definitely didn't want to be there to do anyone's nails. So I just decided to get a regular red color and my acrylics are paper, thin. I don't recommend this establishment at all. read more

First time here and was very impressed with the service and quality of the pedicure. First impression is that the salon was really nice and modern. I did not have an appointment yet did not have to wait as they had many spa chairs. The lady at the front desk was friendly and the gentleman doing my toes was positive and accommodating. He gave me the drink menu (customers get a drink free of charge). This is such a nice surprise. Enjoying a refreshing drink and getting massaged and pampered with pedicure felt absolutely amazing. Nailtech, Tam, was very skilled and thorough. Highly recommend. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I feel like @nails has had the "best in SLO" reputation for years, but lately every time I go in for a set of acrylics it feels overpriced for a really mediocre result. I walk in already expecting the work won't compare to an actual nail tech's, but at this point most of the techs in the area charge the same or even less lol. I've officially learned my lesson, so here's a little PSA: I always choose something super basic and easy. They don't do terrible work -- the nails are cute enough to get me by... as long as nobody looks closely. But for the price? I'm definitely switching to a tech. Too many imperfections, the shaping/filing isn't right, and they don't apply enough coats. This time she didn't file these nearly enough or get the French even -- especially on my thumb. And I cannot stand a flooded nail bed, especially when I make my requests clear. The nails will get me by, but I literally wasted $92 + tip. They rush you in and out like it's all about the money, while actual nail techs take their time and actually care about the quality of their work. Maybe I'm crazy but if I'm paying over 100 bucks on a basic set of nails I feel like they should be pretty perfect no? I shouldn't be able to pick out as many things wrong I've never gone to nail school Edit: it's been 13 days and my nail just fell off like nothing read more

Tony is thorough and gives quality service. He is the best . I will most definitely return

I always get a great pedicure at @Nails. Thank you. They always offer a drink to go with my pedicure.

I came in for a gel take off. Not sure of her name but she had short hair and glasses. Very poor customer service, didn't even smile or introduce herself or offer me anything to drink or to get comfortable. She did the bare minimum amount of work and even when I kindly pointed something out that could be removed she sighed as if I asked for a huge favor. I usually go to the other location on Foothill and the experience is better even for just a gel take off. Safe to say, I won't be coming back here. read more

Lea did these acrylic 4 weeks ago. And they still look like this. I asked her for THIN nails because I have had bad experiences before where they just look too fake . So for paper thin acrylic nails to last a whole month, she is very very skilled. read more

Never never never going back. Not my first terrible experience at this nail salon. Despite having an appointment, I waited an hour.

Very expensive, and my pedicure/manicure seemed rushed ... with messy results. I gave them a couple of tries - both times I was disappointed (and broke!) read more

My daughter wanted acrylics with tips for Homecoming. The male technician argued with her and wouldn't do the tips saying her nails were already long enough. She ended up leaving in tears with short nails and no tips (does anyone get acrylic without tips?). First time there and salon also seemed to not be properly sanitized or clean. Tools used for pedicure callous removal I think I have been outlawed? Will not be back. read more
