Price was also very reasonable for the complicated design.

She created the most beautiful Gel X full set for my birthday - Pisces inspired and absolutely stunning. Every detail was hand painted and you can truly see the care and artistry she puts into her work. The design was even better than what I imagined, and the shape and finish were flawless. She is incredibly talented, patient, and such a perfectionist in the best way. If you're looking for someone who can bring your vision to life and then elevate it, Won is your girl. Highly, highly recommend!

The only thing that bothered me was getting rushed to my seat before I picked my colors out. Why does this bother me? Because there's many colors to chose from and I don't like just being handed 1-2 boards after I'm seated to choose from when they literally have a wall full of so many pretty shades. Let me come in, relax, pick out my colors in my own time (like give me 5 minutes if I need to) and then let me sit. I'm paying good money for your services & want to relax from start to finish. Including when I arrive. This isn't just this nail salon either. It kind of trends at many places but I'm definitely taking MY time next time I go here to pick my colors and refuse to be rushed to my seat. Thank you for hearing me out in this. My nails looked nice though so thank you

This is a no-frills nail salon, but Jessica, Tammy, Amy, and Hong will always do you right! I started with the basic mani/pedi ($39) b/c my nails grow so fast and I wasn't really wanting to pay more. Over the last several months, I've transitioned to a gel manicure ($35)/regular pedicure ($25) which is $60 total. A gel pedicure is $38 so total for gel mani/pedi is $73. I don't do the gel pedi b/c I don't have chipping and it lasts, so I still do the regular. When I chat with other girls about how much they spend on their nails, it's mind-blowing to me and half the time, they say their nails aren't what they wanted. I am sure that you will get the best pricing here and have the same quality if not better, and your nails will always last! They always get new colors too to stay with the season and on trend. The quality and pricing is so good that I use it as a monthly "spa" treatment. They don't have all the expensive massage chairs, but these girls give fabulous massages that's just as good, if not better! I always chat with girls while I'm here and a majority of them have also been coming to Essential Nails for years! If you're looking for top level quality, service at unbeatable prices for nails that will last and always look fresh, these girls at Essential Nails will do you right!

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by Lina and the rest of the ladies that tended to us with such genuine warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere is relaxing, very clean, and beautifully maintained. You instantly feel pampered. Our manicure and pedicure were absolutely remarkable. The attention to detail was beyond impressive as every cuticle perfectly cared for, shaping flawless, polish applied with precision, and the finish was stunning. My nails have honestly never looked better! The pedicure was equally incredible! It was soothing, thorough, and so relaxing that it felt like a mini retreat. What truly sets this place apart is their friendly service. The staff is attentive, kind, and makes you feel valued and comfortable the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in their work. We also plan on bringing my daughter and her eight bridesmaids before her wedding day.

Highly Recommend Sky Nails!…read more I've been coming to Sky Nails for about six months now, and they truly do an amazing job every single time. The entire team pays close attention to detail and never rushes their work--you can really tell they care about their clients and their craft. I get my manicures from Thao and Shelly, and my pedicures from Chi, and I couldn't be happier. Shelly is incredibly artistic and talented. If you're looking for small flowers or detailed nail designs, she is your person! She's also super sweet, friendly, and always makes the experience enjoyable. Chi gives the best pedicures. She has strong hands and gives a deep, relaxing leg and foot massage. I always choose the signature pedicure because it includes a 10-minute massage and paraffin wax for your feet--so worth it! Sky Nails has been open for about a year now, and they are always busy, which says a lot about their quality and service. I definitely recommend making an appointment ahead of time. They have nice massage chairs when you get a pedicure and have 12 of them on both sides with another 10 manicure stations. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and professional nail salon with talented technicians, this is the place to go. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

First off, it's beautifully decorated-- very spacious, bright, and luxurious. They offer you a beverage of your choice which is a really nice touch. It is also super convenient that you can book appointments via their website, I've never had to wait when I booked in advance and they usually have many slots open for same-day appointments. Most importantly the quality of work here is excellent!! I have gotten multiple Gel X sets with designs + pedicures, and they always exceed my expectations and I'm in love with my nails afterwards. All of the staff I've met are super friendly and really take their time + pay attention to detail which I appreciate. (Special shoutout to Shelly and Mimi - they are the sweetest nail techs ever and they made me feel right at home!!) I've always had such a great experience here and can't wait to come back and see them next time I need a new set. Trust me when I say Sky nails is the best in PB and you should absolutely go.

Today I walked in without an appointment and was told they were fully booked and to come back in 45 minutes. No problem. I spent the next 40 minutes walking around with my dog nearby and returned exactly as instructed. When I walked back in, they acted like they had no idea who I was and asked how they could help me. After explaining the situation, they told me they "didn't think I was coming back" so they gave my spot away to other walk-ins. That is unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. If you tell a customer to come back in 45 minutes, common sense would say you hold the spot you told them to return for -- especially for someone who has been loyal, tips generously, and actively sends business your way. The complete lack of recognition, accountability, and customer appreciation was honestly insulting. I left immediately and took my business elsewhere. After today, I will never return, and I definitely won't be recommending this place anymore.

Their pedicures range roughly from about $35 to $65 depending on the service. I chose one in the middle that came out to $43 and it felt like a great value for the time and care that went into it. The technician who worked on my pedicure was incredibly patient and very thorough. She spent over an hour making sure everything was done carefully, and I never felt rushed at all. I really appreciated the attention to detail. The salon also has massage chairs, which made the experience even more relaxing. It's located in a strip mall so parking was easy and there was plenty of space available when I arrived. The staff were all super friendly, and there's a restroom in the back as well which is convenient. Overall, an excellent experience and I'll definitely be coming back.
