What a serene and spotless atmosphere at @nails on E Foothill Blvd conquered my stress instantly, thanks to expert care from Mai during my DELUXE PEDICURE and gel manicure appointment. Without a doubt, the best nail salon in SLO, with impeccably clean tools! Thank you, Mai and the team! read more

Jenny is super sweet and does it all! From cute flowers on my nails to waxing my eyebrows when they need a touch up, she's great!

Going to a nail salon usually means constantly speaking up just to get what I asked for which is frustrating when you're paying $70+. Mai is a total breath of fresh air. She proactively checked in on the shape, length, and design the entire time, making sure I loved every detail. As someone who is very particular, I often hesitate to ask for changes because I don't want to seem difficult. But when I wanted a minor tweak, Mai was so gracious and happy to adjust it. No crooked nails, no missed details, and zero stress. On top of her exceptional work, the customer service here is amazing, complete with complimentary drinks. Mai made sure I was 100% happy with my set long before I reached checkout. I couldn't recommend her more! read more

I went in to get my nails done for my best friends wedding that I am the maid of honor in. Ken made the entire experience unpleasant and had the worst attitude. First, he would fling my arms around without caring if I could even move my arms in the shape he wanted. Secondly, the cure light turned off for a SECOND when he was pressing the nail and somehow it was my fault for not "working as a team" to move fast enough to the light, and because of this "one mistake mess whole thing and we have to start over". I was just sitting there, it's not my fault he didn't tap the light in time to turn it on. Third, he ended the service by not cleaning all the dust off my hands and nails, nor giving me lotion like most nail salons. He put cuticle oil ON TOP of the acrylic dust as I was already walking to the sink to wash the dust off because he didn't bother to do so. Fourth, he said to me "don't get gel x anymore because your nails curve down" yet I've been getting Gel X for a decade and no one else has had an issue. Fifth, at one point I was about to put my hand in the cure lamp because I couldn't understand what he was saying and he stopped me by freaking out and asking "are you crazy!!". And lastly, the underside of my nails look awful and not cleaned up AT ALL. I will be posting more photos to Yelp along with this review. I will never again set foot at this location. Avoid Ken if you can. He was rude for no reason after I was looking forward to this and he shat all over it. My pedicure with Jimmy was 10/10 which is the only reason why this review isn't only 1 star read more

So after I wrote my initial review of my dissatisfaction at @Nails, I heard from the owner to apologize for my experience and wanted to make it right. First he offered a credit for my fill and because I don't live in the area, he gave me a refund. That was unexpected but much appreciated. Like I said before in my first review, the pedicure was great and I probably just came across a stressed out nail technician as they were busy. And because of the way they handled the situation, I would definitely give it another try if I ever was in town. The place is clean and they obviously care about their reputation and their customers. read more

Tori was very thorough and honest. She did a fantastic job on my nails. I will definitely be coming back to her on a regular basis.

They were fast and careful, and I had no nicks or cuts. Everyone was kind and professional, and I was happy with the final result. One piece of feedback I'd offer is to slow down just a little when clients are choosing their color or design. I felt a bit rushed making my selection and would have appreciated a little more time to decide without feeling pressured. Overall, it was still a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more

I recently moved to a new city and, of course, needed to get my nails done before starting my new job tomorrow. I decided to try a nearby salon called @Nails, which is conveniently within walking distance from home. The facility was very clean, and they even offered a complimentary beverage. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming. It was fairly quiet, but since it was a Monday morning, that was expected. I opted for a regular mani-pedi since I like to test out a new salon before going for anything more elaborate. My technician, Ben, did both services and did a phenomenal job. He shaped and buffed my nails perfectly and helped me choose a great shade of red. Overall, I'm really happy with my experience and will definitely be returning--hopefully, this will become my go-to nail salon! read more

I appreciate this nail salon for being open late--and for really accepting clients during later hours as well. Some salons in the area state their hours for walk-ins, but seldom honor those hours. @ Nails is welcoming, and always serve u your drink of choice. I often see Henry for mani/pedi and Mai for waxing. Henry is talented, stylish, and takes his time to do things right. I appreciate him being flexible and adjusting his massaging based on feedback. Mai is patient and will stay late in order to take care of what you need. She has helped tame my brows (and other parts!) for a long time now. I appreciate her candor and work very much. This salon uses software for scheduling that makes it easier to schedule an appt--you can do it at your convenience anytime. However, if the system indicates no times available or your preferred nail tech shows unavailable, I suggest u call directly. Sometimes, there are errors in the system that a human can help u through. Overall, I like the vibe and appreciate the service here. The menu of drinks is great too! read more
