This place was so hard to find! I had to call them and make sure they even existed, but yes! They do exist, and they are next to "The Paint Chip" and diagonally acoss from Bistro 33. Unfortunately, they were pretty busy and understaffed when I showed up for my appointment so I had to wait a little longer than usual, but I didn't mind because I had a realllllly long day and was sleep deprived. So I appreciated the time to unwind. My pedicure ($20) was soo amazing. My pedicurist was an older vietnamese lady and took her time cutting my cuticles, and buffing nails. She totally pampered me to compensate for the time I had to wait. She was soooo good that I fell into a deep sleep while she was massaging me. I'm pretty sure I snored because: 1) I was in a really deep REM and even had a dream(!) 2) I woke up with mouth open, teetering on the edge of drool I probably even talked in my sleep while I was there. Hehe, but luckily she didn't make a big deal out of it. She just asked me if I've had a long week and if I felt refreshed from my nap. I was in 7th heaven; I responded with a sleep-drunk smile and half-opened eyes. The downside to me falling asleep? Before I knocked out, I handed her two polishes, a pink base coat and a glitter top coat. I forgot to show her what I wanted because although I wanted to dabble with glitter, I only wanted to flirt with it, not go to town with it. I woke up to the most bedazzled pink toes I've ever seen in my life. I was too relaxed from my spa experience to even freak out. I just chuckled (maybe cackled) on the inside. And hey! it didn't look bad at all (it just wasn't what I expected!). Sometimes those kind of surprises are nice. Keeps you on your toes (litterally =p) read more

Good job on feet and hands. Friendly staff. Next time I'll upgrade the pedicure for a longer, more involved experience. LOVE not smelling all the fumes you get in other nail spas. read more

I bought a package deal (1 hours massage + facial + mani/pedi) for $90 (techinically $91 because it's $1 to use a credit card, but meh). Overall, quite the deal. I absolutely loved 3 of the 4 services! The mani/pedi was great, didn't chip at all. A month later my pedi still looks nice and I wore the mani until my nails grew out enough that it looked silly so I took it off, but still no chips. They also had a good selection of colors (finally found the blue I had been looking for at other salons). They didn't hurt me during either procedure (i'm a wuss and apparently bleed easily during mani/pedis... no such problem here). The massage chairs are quite nice. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to manis, and the woman did a very good job of making it even and cleaning everything up at the end. The massage was really nice. I like Swedish, stress relieving/relaxing massages and that's exactly what I got. She didn't ask me anything before the massage, so if you wanted something different, you'd have to speak up. Might not recommend if you want more of the sports/deep tissue style, but for gentle me this was perfect. My only qualm is that it was supposed to be an hour massage and it was actually 50 minutes (I looked at the clock in the room at start/stop). I won't dicker over 10 min, but that was worth 1/2 star for me. The facial was good, but not super amazing. I have only had 1 other facial ever in my life, so maybe I'm not the best judge (i.e. take this with a grain of salt). I have acne rosacea, which means my skin is dry/sensitive (I take medication so I don't break out, but still have to deal with dry/sensitive skin). She didn't ask me anything about my skin type before doing starting, so I think I just got the generic run of the mill facial. That being said, my skin feels nice, I didn't break out or anything. I just would have like it to have been tailored in someway to my skin type/needs. So another -1/2 star. Over all, I felt like all the services were worth the price (and this comes from someone who usually relies on Groupons to get these sorts of services). read more

I think this is best nail salon in Davis. I really like that they promote "natural" nails i.e. they don't do acrylics. Their pedicures are awesome--they really spend a lot of time, and your look great, but most importantly they feel great from their massage and hot stones. Most importantly, the workers are just lovely. They always ask after my sister and mom when I go there, even though I only brought them in once. They are kind, courteous, and really care about their customers. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. read more

I just moved back to Davis after a few years and found myself with some free time on my day off. Decided why not pamper myself a little? I looked around on yelp and saw that this place was offering the package deal which included an hour massage, facial and mani/pedi for $90. What a deal! Well...kinda... I called ahead to ask what kind of products they use because, being an esthetician myself, can be pretty annoyingly picky about facial products. They said they use Dermalogica which is great, thats a line I'm well versed in. First was the massage which was great. I also did a little massage school in my time and the only issue I'd have was that as she was warming the massage cream, she did it over me so that some of it dropped on my back. The other issue I have would be that she didn't ask at all about any specific areas that needed working on or how the pressure was. Fortunately for me, I like a medium pressure which is what she performed. Second was the "facial". if you could even call it that. I was expecting a full facial which usually includes (at least for Dermalogica), a double cleanse, exfoliation, facial massage or extractions, masque, and moisturize and sun protect. What I got was a single cleanse, a short facial massage, and sun protect. I have pretty dry skin, especially in the winter, and I left feeling extremely dry to the point of my skin almost being in pain. Third was my mani/pedi which was fine. I don't usually get manicures because my hobbies and job leave my hands pretty beat up; but I thought "why not?" since it came with the package. I'd say my experience was mediocre. The lady that did my pedicure seemed to kind of half-ass it. When more customers came in for their nails I feel like she really rushed it and didn't ask me if I was satisfied with it before running off for the next client. The lady who did my manicure was the same one who did my massage and I felt that she at least took a little more time. tl;dr - Don't waste your money on the package deal. - Facials here are a joke. No consultation = no chance for results - Nails are okay read more

$20 for a pedicure? DONE. I think this is going to be my new regular pedicure spot in Davis. I've basically tried them all...(Y2K, Ara Spa, Abba, G Nails, that really sketch place on 5th street...) and Natural Nails & Spa is definitely the best. I've always had the older lady (what is her name??) do my pedicure and she is SO friendly and polite, as well as really good at what she does. My feet are all kinds of funky after the winter and she makes them look so good! For the price and service, best deal in town. read more

This place is alright. Sadly I saw many problems and had to have the worker fix it. First it was uneven filing of my nail, then missing an area on my nail with nail polish, and last but not least, the polish having uneven layers so half my nail was darker than the other half. On top of that they also cut my cuticles pretty bad. It's the second day now and my skin is blehh. I went with my friends. And her person sneezed in her hands 3 times and then continued working on her nails o_o" that's disgusting... Germs, germmmms! read more

Natural Nails & Spa - :( - Day Spas Near Me - Davis, California

I have mixed reviews about this place. The first time I went I loved it! It was clean and the ladies were nice. My second trip I had called ahead to ask if I would be able to come in at 6:30 for a mani/pedi. I get there and the lady giving me the mani/pedi acted really bothered by me. She was rude and cold towards me and kept looking at the clock. I couldn't understand why since I had called ahead and they gave me the "ok." I then asked her what time they close at and she tells me 8. So now I was even more confused as to why she was so rude! Then she tells me that although they close at 8, they usually like to leave by 7/7:30. Seriously? THIS IS YOUR JOB! Then right at 7:45 a lady asked for a pedicure and mani and two of the other employees happily took her in. Today I walk in at 7, made sure to look at the hours on the door (M-Sat close at 8 - Sunday at 7) and they tell me no they weren't able to work on me because they were closed. I point to the sign and tell them It says 8. They let me know that no one is able to work on me (meanwhile two of the employees are standing there talking) and they stop taking people in at 7. OK- so if that's the case, CLOSE AT 7! What is wrong with people these days, acting as if they have the right to not work?! I'm pretty sure if the owner was there, they'd be taking people in till 7:58. I've had plenty of jobs where if we ever refused someone like that, a whole hour before the official closing time, we'd get in big trouble. Why can't I just find an all around nice nail salon here in Davis?! Pretty disappointed. They have completely lost my business. read more

Natural Nails & Spa - $25 gel mani. Love this color! - Day Spas Near Me - Davis, California

See all

I came in here today looking to get the $25 spa pedicure Yelp deal, which turned out to be the price originally, so decided to splurge and go with the deluxe pedicure. They gave me a student discount of $3 so it ended up being $32 for the deluxe. The extra $10 is worth it, in my opinion. The hot stone massage and hot wax treatment were the most memorable parts of the pedicure. I felt very pampered after the pedicure, not to mention the massage chair throughout the hour was great. I'm an athlete so it was really nice to be relaxed and massaged for an hour. The lady who did my nails was Helen. She was great and did everything with precision. She cut my cuticles carefully, which is something I paid a lot of attention to because of all the reviews about customers bleeding from cut cuticles. She also cut and filed my nails just right and cleaned up around the nail if some polish got around the nail. I'll definitely be coming back to her for other mani-pedis. The only thing that's annoying for the customer is the wait. I expected a wait, of course, because Saturday's are usually busier than others. Although, for the business this is good news, I didn't expect to be told that without a reservation I'd have to come back later when it was less busy. Some people came in and were told to come back a few hours later. Other than the wait, this place definitely deserves more stars than what the average Yelp review currently is. I'll definitely be returning for more pampering. UPDATE: Today I came here for a manicure. I was pretty disappointed. It may have just been the person who was doing my nails, but still disappointed. First off, it's pretty rude to be talking about the customer to other people. I knew they were talking about me when the other manicurist looked at me and I just so happened to look at her and she quickly turned away. Second, it seemed like my manicurist was just trying to get me out of there as soon as possible. She filed unevenly and was super rough with my fingers, I'm sorry my fingers just don't bend that way! Third, there are visible air bubbles, unevenness on my nails, and dust particles that the manicurist seemed to ignore and continue on. Overall, very disappointed with manicurist and not worth the $15 I spent, and will probably only return to have pedicures done by Helen. read more

Best nail place in Davis! Always accommodating, clean, good customer service and they do a great mani/pedi. The gel lasts for weeks!

Make an appointment. It's highly suggested since they get busy quick. I absolutely love their spa pedicures here. They are close to detail and do a pretty good job. The hot stones and parrafin wax are my favorite. Parking can be hard though. But just like any spa pedicure...their all pretty much the same. Bring cash though because they charge a convenience fee for using credit cards! read more

I've been coming here for 7 years. I love the ladies. I've always had great service. I highly recommend! A bonus: it doesn't smell like acrylic! It's also good for kids. My daughter loves to get the kid mani pedi read more

I hope I'm not lacking in experience considering that I'm not usually the kind of person found at places like this but I think that may make me more objective in writing this. We walked in briefly and told them we would have 4 coming in and waiting around for maybe about 10 minutes my good homie and I got seated and got started with our pedicures. Massage chair going the whole time, very courteous and respectful people, had a few good laughs together and it is honestly and amazingly pleasant and relaxing experience. With all respect, I find it hard to believe the adverse experiences that happened with some of the other reviews, obvious variables nonwithstanding, and that's with my homie and I being the usual buffoons saying how we're two of the biggest guys in our group coming out for something no one would expect us to do. All in all, I would give this place and these folks a very high commendation for helping make my first experience very pleasant and to encourage anyone, especially the guys out there to give this place a visit! read more

I was able to be helped right away, but the pedicurist and especially the manicurist were in such a rush. They didn't even try to talk to me, maybe because they spoke little to no English. They made me bleed on my fingers, and now my big toe is sore and probably infected one day after. I regret going here. Also my manicure is already chipping. And I don't think they clean their tools. Not worth your time or money. Very upset. read more

Sooooo disappointed. I planned ahead, made an appointment for my mom and I to get spa pedicures on Mother's Day. We arrived a few minutes before our appointment only to see that all the pedicure chairs were full-- and two of them were JUST being filled with water. I said that we had an appointment and she said that she forgot and was overwhelmed and could we come back in an hour. Horrible. I mean, you make an appointment, especially for something special to do with your mom, and they "forgot" and are "overwhelmed"? You know they just were fitting people in and FORGOT about the appointment I made days previously. I had such high hopes for this salon, but because of this, I will go back to my usual- Ara Spa. read more

My third time at this location and it's safe to say I won't be returning. The salon overall has a relaxing ambiance with a nice staff, and their prices are fair; which is why they're receiving 2 stars. However, they rush their work because they take on too many customers. I felt like they didn't care about the quality of their work and just wanted as much business as possible. Word of advice to the staff: if you spent more time accommodating customers instead of hurrying them out, you might have more loyal and returning customers. read more

In summary: good pedicure, terrible manicure. I went on a Saturday to get a standard manicure and pedicure. While my pedicure was great and the technician took her time, I got handed off to someone else for my manicure. It was the worst manicure I'd ever had. My cuticles weren't properly pushed back and trimmed (the whole reason I wanted a manicure in the first place was for my cuticles to be taken care of). Instead, the nail technician doing my pedicure just slapped some paint on my nails above my cuticles, leaving a weird unpainted and uneven strip at the bottom of my nails. Other parts had visibly uneven layers of paint. The end result looked worse than my own attempts at clumsy, nail-polish-everywhere manicures. I ended up taking it off a few days later because I hated looking at it and remembering that I had paid money for my nails to look so bad. Perhaps the gel manicures are less sloppy, but I'm not sure I want to risk the money to find out. read more

Located right across Bistro 33, there's a cute little nail salon with situated along F. Did the Spa Pedicure for $25. The check in deal they have here on Yelp for the spa pedicure is the price they have been charging at the salon so don't think it's some sort of discount - it isn't. The lady I had was very quiet, but she did a great job with the nail color. Can't complain about the massage, hot rock or hot towels either. I never get manis or pedis because I never found the need to pay to get my nails done when I have a box of nail polish sitting in storage but it's nice to treat yourself out once and while. It is a little steep for someone like me (plus I tipped) so I might just drop by for days when I feel like I could afford to lol read more

Went in for a walk in gel manicure with glitter french tips, which I was afraid was too much to ask for, but the manicurist did a great job! There was no wait time and I am obsessed with the nails. She really took the time to put on several coats of pink and glitter polish. And it was only $30! Definitely recommend. read more

*This review is for the FOOT REFLEXOLOGY MASSAGE ($35) only I had a couple of hours to squander while waiting for my dog to get out of surgery at the UCD Vet Hospital. Called up Natural Nails & Spa and asked if they had availability for a foot reflexology massage asap. They told me to come on by in 15 minutes. Awesome. But when I got there, they weren't ready for me yet and I still had to wait about 20 minutes to get started on my massage. For the longest time I was thoroughly confused because I thought I would be getting a standard foot reflexology massage - meaning they would focus on my feet and lower legs. Well, my massage therapist (Bebe) put my feet in a bucket to soak, then proceeded to first work on everything but my feet! Though I was never consulted about what I actually wanted to get out of the massage, Tammy the owner explained to me that with new clients they generally give an all-around, "balanced" massage. What I did get out of it - a surprisingly blissful full-body massage. The kind that is so relaxing that you don't even know how much time has passed by. I stopped wondering what was going on and just sunk into a general state of euphoria. And for a full-hour's worth of massage that's only $35, that's pretty dang good. I had my arms, neck, back, legs, AND feet worked on. Felt like I got a well-balanced treatment out of the whole thing, though no portion was particularly deep or intensive. I would have preferred to have been asked first what I hoped to get out of the massage especially as I THOUGHT I was getting a standard foot reflexology treatment. Even though I got something completely different than what I thought I was paying for, it turned out to be just right (crisis averted). I think they didn't ask me first probably due to some language barriers, so if you want to be safe, make sure you speak with the massage therapist before she starts. read more

By far my favorite nail spot in Davis! Came here today got a pedi and a mani. The guy who worked on my pedi was extremely careful and gave me a very gentle and thorough massage. I got gel for the first time for my mani and they were extremely efficient and I'm kinda in love with gel now. By far one of the cleanest nail salons that I've been to and the workers were very friendly :) read more

Nice place for massage and pedicure. The pedicure was amazing and included wax, mask, hot stone, and oil massage. The only thing is that I was seated near the window. I would recommend that you sit somewhere else in the shop to avoid feeling like you're on display. There are lots of pedestrians in downtown Davis. All of which feel compelled to turn and look while passing by. The staff was friendly and took care of me right away. If I lived closer I would definitely come in regularly. read more

Great service, clean, inexpensive and friendly. I especially like the fact that they don't do artificial nails so it doesn't smell of acetone. They give a good thorough mani/pedi, nothing super-special but great for the price. I have come here for several years. They are consistent. read more

The best nail salon in Davis. I have always walked out thinking, 'This is the best gel manicure I've ever gotten.' I've never had to wait. Ni is great: she's very thorough and careful with your nails and makes sure they are perfect. She put 4 coats of color on and 2 top coats. They also have a 10% off for students, so just mention it and show your ID. My gel was $22. But use the saved money to tip extra - it's well deserved. Bonus: the toilet paper in the bathroom is super nice. I'm weird and always notice stuff like that. read more

Helen gave me an amazing pedicure. They spent a lot of time cleaning up my nails, massaging with lotion and even with hot stones. The pedicure gets 5 stars for sure. My problem is that I came in b/c they had a Yelp promotion for $20 pedicures, and when I wanted to use it they said they didn't honor it anymore. I got into a mild argument with them that they should honor it if it's listed still in Yelp, but they refused. The promotion should be removed from Yelp b/c that is incredibly shady business practices. They also charged me an extra $1 for using a credit card. I felt like they were trying to nickel and dime me. I would go back only b/c Helen was awesome, but I'll come back with my eyes open for hidden fees next time around. read more

Friend had a gift certicate for Natural Nails and invited me to tag along and make a girl's evening out of it. She had brows and gel manicure done, I just had a regular manicure ($15+tip). A bunch of people were getting pedicures done but I felt like that would take too much time to also squeeze in. I didn't catch the name of my manicurist, but I selected an O.P.I. color "Lunch at the Delhi." Seated at the two-seater table right next to the front door and front window facing Bistro33 -- plenty of downtown Davis pedestrian passerby looky-loos through the window was a little distracting. The hand massage was just okay, she was having a conversation with the manicurist in the next chair who was looking at photos the client was sharing on her phone, so not totally 100% attention given. The nail shape was fine, square slightly rounded, but the color application was lacking. Some nails were painted with about 1/8" of my nail side edge not covered, and all of them were not painted all the way down to the base so it already had the start of the "grown out" look. I've been to lots of different nail places where they range from basic tabletop small fans to sprays to separate table with lights to speed up the drying of the topcoat. This just had the fans and the manicurist got up and left me sitting there awhile, then finally asked if it was dry and for the payment. Yes, I was waiting for my friend to also be finished with her service behind me at another table, but that was a bit awkward. Started chipping within a few days, and it's been about a week and I'm tempted to paint over them already or remove altogether. Yelp check-in offer was $25 for spa pedicure, I didn't ask if they still honor it or not. read more

Called in for an appointment at 4:30pm, came in 20 minutes early and they still took me. Was trying to choose a color and the ladies kept asking me if I was ready, like if I was ready I would have said something. Ended up choosing French tips, which came out great, but $5 more expensive, on top of their already pricey pedicure which includes a nice foot massage and hot stones. A bit pricey, but great work. read more

Natural Nails & Spa - My nails spoon out due to anemia and were in very uneven shape, I was glad the unevenness of my nails was not exceptionally noticeable. - Day Spas Near Me - Davis, California

I have been to plenty of places to get my nails done. This place is not that bad. The only thing about it is that the guy who was doing my pedicure was really slow. He was precise but it took forever. Their selection of nail polish wasn't that much though so you should probably bring in your own polish. The place is not too big either so when they are busy, you will have to wait quite a while. But I must admit, their legs massages were pretty amazing. If you need to relax a bit, and just get a leg massage, $20 for that isn't bad! read more

This would be a 3.5 stars if it were an option. Pros: very relaxing atmosphere/music, nice and pleasant staff, and I like that they don't use that many harsh chemicals (hence the name). I got the deluxe pedi? Whatever the one that's just above the basic is called. It was great! Loved the long foot/leg massage, the scrub, hot stones, and lotion. I felt very pampered :) Cons: came here for a regular French manicure (no gel) on another occasion and I was disappointed. The lines were somewhat jagged instead of being even. I had to ask the nail technician to fix a few of them, but felt bad about it.. Ended up with a mediocre manicure still. Takeaways: come for the pedis, skip the manis (unless you do gel, which I've heard are great) read more

I love coming here! I've been getting my nails done by Bebe for almost 4/5 years now. & she is so detail oriented. Not only are my nails evenly cut but the polish is perfect!

I love Natural Nails! Every time I come, every tech is so friendly. I usually get the Deluxe Pedicure and for the price, you cannot beat it. This is a destination when friends and family come to visit because we thoroughly enjoy the experience. It's the only place in town that I'll go to for a pedicure. If you're looking for an even more luxurious experience, pair it with a deluxe manicure. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place has always been great for me. I started going there for gels and they did a great job on them. I has 3 sets before I decided to take a break and let my nails recover some. I have also gotten several pedicures that were very nice as well. There were a few issues with my second or third set of gels but I pointed out what I saw and she fixed it. Problem solved. It's friendly, clean, and I like the job they do. That's what I'm looking for in a nail salon. read more

I have only been here once but definitely liked it, I found it thanks to Yelp. I made appointments for my sister-in-law and I to get pedicures and we were seen on time. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because the massage towards the end was extremely short. I would recommend this nail salon to friends and family. read more

Good: very polite and nice. Lots of options and variety. Fast service got a mani and pedi within an hour. Student discount if you show your student ID. Bad: loud, hard to relax because of this. Overall pretty good. Want to try out the other places in Davis too compare! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I've never had a pedicure last more than a week and a half but this place's usually lasts upwards of a month. Including a beach vacation. I attribute that to the care they take when they apply the coats. Deliberate and methodical after a good buff to allow bonding with the nail. I've taken my mom and boyfriend for their first time pedicures ever and both are hooked. Always busy for drop ins but poke in, tell them what you need, and they'll probably tell you to come back in 15 minutes. So grab a Starbucks a block away. Worth the money every time. read more

The first time I ever even walked into a nail salon was 2 years ago when I transferred to Davis. I just never had gotten them done before, but one day I decided to give it a shot. I had picked Natural Nails and Spa over the other places because it was easily accessible from campus and had slightly higher reviews than other places. Plus, walk-ins are totally okay. Walking in, you know that this place is pretty clean, which for a nail salon is a huge plus. They have a fairly large variety of nail polish and it makes me so incredibly happy on how organized they have kept it. It makes it much easier to figure out the exact shade of polish you want. Since I never really got my nails done too often (I honestly only go 3-4 times a year, at the very most), I thought the prices were pretty fair. The mini massages they give you when you get a mani and/or pedi are soooooo great. Plus, when you're getting a pedicure you sit in an armchair massagers, which I enjoy far too much. I really like employees there as well. I personally never have had any issues with how I've been treated there. And in full disclosure, this isn't one of your higher end places where they go extremely out of your way to pamper you and offer champagne and stuff. One a side note, I've always been really weirded out being offered champagne at a salon, but that's just me. Everyone who works there is polite, respectful, and attentive, which I appreciate. I just wanted a simple place where I can take a break from studying and get my nails done a few times a year. So for me, Natural Nails and Spa has always been a great choice. If I'm ever back in town and want to treat myself, I be sure to pay a visit :) read more
