    I've been here a few times, but this was the most disappointing and painful experience. The girl made me bleed multiple times from cutting my cuticles and filing too hard. Not to mention, the drill bit she used to shorten my nails was burning the top of my nails. They do not use new/clean tools. I don't know if she was new, but I don't think a fill should take 1.5 hours. Will not return again.

    Been coming here for the last year and never had bad service or experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is always friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Store is very clean

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've gotten my nails done by Phi twice now and she does not disappoint![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved them both times![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pays attention to detail and makes sure she gives you the best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is very helpful and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Blood from cut cuticle

    I went to Newstar for the first time and John did my pedicure, I chose the classic, $45. gave a $20 tip. when I went to pay, the gal at front tells me it's $50. why? something about polish.. I said I did not have polish to remove and polish is included with pedicur.. what's the extra $5 for.,? no explanation I get home and my toe is bleeding.. see pictures..

    My toes are completely undone no shine no nothing !! Look at this!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]To spend money for bad service it saddens me who does and doesn't like their job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm currently pregnant and went in for a nice massage and new color before Monday and I walked out with lines and messed up toes. The guy didn't seem to care about his work and along cut my leg while doing the service. Not a place I would return to.

    Finger infection from my gel set

    Update on my my finger. On a 10 day course of strong antibiotics (clindamycin) and had to have my finger lanced and drained of pus and fluid 2 days ago because it was so swollen and unbearable. I called them to complain about what happened and the girl in the phone said "oh, do you want to get your nails done??" No! No I don't want my nails done here ever again. If you want a raging staff infection in your finger, then come here. Definitely see Lisa, she'll fix you right up with one!!! I've been a loyal customer of this place for a while, they seemed very clean. I did stop for about a year because I thought I got a fungus from whoever did my nails last. My nails were lifting and just not looking right. So I went on meds for that and went natural with my nails for a year. Decided to try this place again. I've been taking my daughters here for a few months with no issues. Well, as the lady was doing my nails, she got way too aggressive while trimming my cuticles and cut me bad to the point that I was bleeding. It felt sore for a couple days but didn't think much of it. Then it got swollen. I iced it, soaked it in alcohol, put on neosporin....it just kept getting worse and worse. It was hot to the touch and swollen to the point that I couldn't bend it. Never have I ever had an issue anywhere when getting my nails done, just here!!

I have had the same nail…read moreguy for 11 years. 9 years when he was at a Manteca shop and the last 2 years he went to a stockton shop. This was an emergency I couldn't wait 2 weeks for him to come back so Tina at Busy Bee was avaliable at first I was super nervous to have someone else do my nails but Tina was awesome. I have been here 4 times now because she is that good: *She made sure she was doing the style I requested *she was super cool with doing LONG nails nails *she is not afraid to try new techniques *she has not once hesitated about my color choices. (I love black acrylic, but it makes a big mess some places won't do it or say black nails will be ugly) *she is not hesitant on using flat matt top coat *she has fit me in last minute for a quick wax *she has been able to fit my grandma in for a pedicure when I brought her in *the shop is cute *lots of colors, stickers designs, foil, jewels, geode style, and tons more. I really do appreciate Busy Bee for being so nice, for making sure I get what I requested, and for having competitive $$ prices. My nail guy is ready to retire in a few months so I am very happy I found such an awesome replacement for him. Tina is younger, she is willing to try new stuff, & her Instagram is full of her creative skills.

    We ended up at Busy Bee Nail Salon while our daughter was at tennis academy in Manteca, and I'm so…read moreglad we gave this place a try! I made a 6 PM appointment for my husband and me for manicures and pedicures. The salon is on the smaller side and was definitely busy, but they were able to sit us together for our pedicures, which I really appreciated. One of the biggest things for me was that they did NOT pressure me to get gel! I stopped getting gel because it damaged my nails, and you'd be surprised how many salons make you feel like regular polish is an inconvenience. Not here! They had plenty of regular polish options, and something I really liked was that they actually have books filled with nail color samples that you can sit and flip through to choose your color. I've never seen that at a nail salon before! Granted, I rarely go to salons because I usually do my own nails, but I thought that was such a nice touch and made picking a color so much easier. The woman who did my manicure was so kind and patient. She never made me feel rushed or like she wanted me out of her chair because I wasn't spending extra on gel. I had recently cut my nails much shorter than I normally wear them, and she made them look SO pretty. I absolutely love how they turned out! My husband, on the other hand, was there very reluctantly . I try to convince him to get a manicure and pedicure with me at least once a year, and apparently yesterday was the day! No polish for him, of course. He survived and actually had a good experience. We both chose the #2 pedicure for $40, and our total for two manicures AND two pedicures was only $100, which I thought was fantastic. I'll admit I got a little nervous when the woman doing my pedicure started working on my cuticles because I've been clipped at salons before , but she was careful and didn't hurt me at all. Apparently that was just my past nail-salon trauma kicking in. Overall, this was such a nice new experience for us and a great way to spend the two hours while our daughter was at tennis. Everyone was friendly, we didn't feel rushed, the prices were reasonable, and most importantly, I LOVE my nails. If you're in the Manteca area, I definitely recommend stopping by Busy Bee Nail Salon and checking them out. We'll be back!

I was hoping to stumble across a pedi and a glass wine like at my normal spot (don't judge me) but didn't seem to find any. Reviews seemed to indicate this was a prime spot to stop, so I decided to check it out. It was a quiet afternoon in Fashion so they were able to get me in last minute for both a pedicure and new set. It wasn't the most comfortable or relaxing pedicure I've ever had, but the end result turned out fine in terms of the paint job. As for my nails, I do appreciate corrections that were quickly made when I asked, but I do wish that nail techs in general would speak up early if shown a design that they aren't quite sure they can execute. I'm one that comes in with back up plans just in case, but the color scheme is usually different. So once they say they can do it I'm committed to that design. The one I got was OK... And I did tell him good enough when he asked, but because I knew that was pretty much where we were. I don't dislike it, which is why I didn't go through the trouble of having him try again... But I'm not in love with it. When it came to the painting, it kind of felt like the job started being rushed due to an unhappy customer they were trying to get to. Overall I'd rate the experience a 3.5. Not bad, just not something that would have me running back and committed to this location.

Because we were on a time crunch we said thank you and left. One of the ladies ended up running out after and told us they could take her. Really nice of them to accommodate! The lady doing my daughter's nails was quiet. My daughter is super shy so she didn't say much either lol. What was off putting though was that the person working at the next station over had a potty mouth. I mean I'm not an angel I do swear from time to time but she kept saying cuss words and I'm like dude, do you not see my daughter next to you. My daughter is 11 and yes I know I can't shield her from those things and I know she's heard those words before but it was too much for the setting. Not professional whatsoever. Her client wasn't even speaking that way. Then another employee walks in later and takes a personal call and starts saying bitch to whomever she was speaking to on the phone. Apparently that's how she addresses that person. Overall my daughter was happy with how her nails turned out. I didn't like that they don't take credit card though. My daughter didn't like the vibe with all of the cussing and doesn't want to go back there. She said she didn't feel comfortable. I didn't care for it either. I mean I will say that the employees seem to know their regular clients well which is always a nice thing but the cussing just wasn't professional in my opinion.

From the moment I walked through the door, the atmosphere was welcoming! the facility is not only incredibly spacious and well-maintained, but it also boasts a clean, refreshing scent that immediately puts you at ease.

Her attention to detail is remarkable!! she took her time to ensure the shape and the lines of the French tip were nothing short of perfection.

Despite making appointments, I consistently end up waiting 30-45 minutes or more before services actually begin. My most recent visit was the final straw. I specifically booked an appointment with the expectation that my full set and pedicure would be done simultaneously to save time. Instead, I sat waiting nearly 45 minutes for the pedicure technician while only my nail service started. Even after explaining to the manager that I had limited time and needed to coordinate childcare responsibilities, there was no effort made to accommodate the appointment I had booked. This isn't an isolated incident. On a previous visit, I was essentially told that they were busy and couldn't keep to the appointment schedule--even though I had made an appointment in advance. If appointments don't mean anything, then what's the point of scheduling them? Many of us are balancing work, family responsibilities, and childcare. We plan our day around appointments and expect businesses to respect the time they ask us to reserve. Unfortunately, this salon operates more like a walk-in factory than an appointment-based business. The inconsistent service quality is one thing, but the repeated disregard for customers' time and poor appointment management is why I won't be returning. There are too many other salons that understand that professionalism includes respecting your clients' schedules.
