Came to Newman Nails at the recommendation of my neighbor and because I had a trip upcoming that I wanted to refresh my nails for. Located off the 33 in the same plaza as Nob Hill. Newman Nails and Spa is one of the few nail salons in the Newman/Gustine area. I was able to make an appointment by phone the day prior for a gel mani/pedi. When I arrived, I was promptly greeted and directed to sit in the massage chair to start my pedicure. The inside is a bit old looking and reminded me of a salon from the 90's (cotton candy pink carpeting, colorful paper lanterns, easy listening radio). As a first timer, I observed the nail techs and I loved how Tom (?) was so vocal and singing along to the music or chatting with his regulars. He seems very nice and warm. Luan worked on my nails and while she was brisk and all business, she did an OK job in under an hour. I was able to simply show Luan a picture of what I wanted - and she did a close replica to the picture. I will say I thought it was strange when she started scratching the back of my calves during the pedicure 'massage' lol I did notice her having to clean up hardened gel from my nails and some air bubbles. After further inspection, there were missed spots of hardened gel and air bubbles on the thumb (which you can't tell from far away). 2 days later, there was lifting from the cuticle end (it would catch when I shampooed my hair in the shower). However I really did love the look of the end result. For a basic gel mani/pedi, I paid $78 before tip. Overall, I wouldn't mind returning. I'll have to try again! read more

Quality nails at an affordable price. Tom is the best. They're a hard working honest family.

if u don't have a lot of money to wast they wont help you i just needed my nails clear ...

Ask for Thomas ! He is kind and listens. They have workers who come and go but he and his wife own it and are kind people.

My sister and I always go to Newman nails for our pedicures. We get gel or sometimes even overlays on our toes and the quality is amazing. The service is too. Tomas and his family are always very welcoming. we live in Patterson but no one matches the services we get at Newman nails. read more

I was in need of a mani/pedi today so I thought I'd try out Newman Nails and Spa (I usually drive two hours away to get my nails done because I am so picky) and I am so happy I did. Thomas and his wife are excellent! Both of my grandma's tagged along as well and they can say the same. Their service was great and my nails came out perfect! I will definitely be going back, good prices too! Thank you Newman Nails! read more

Newman Nails and Spa - French gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Newman, California

Guy was doing my nails and walked out to pick up kids and left me there and came back to finish. I was young and dumb back then.

If I could give them 0 stars I would, had an appointment at 4 and after 15 minutes I asked if they were ready they said no that the wait was another 10 minutes, mind you this was NOT a walk appointment was made a day before and they still always manage to overbook people and had many people waiting. Unacceptable save your time and money. read more

Definitely recommend! Super friendly staff and reasonable prices! Thomas did an amazing job! They won't disappoint! read more

They were pretty good but their gel nail polish only lasted 13 days. That's how long normal nail polish lasts on me.... I figured gel nails would last at least a month. But all the employees were very nice. read more

Newman Nails and Spa - Still looking good although it's been two weeks. - Nail Salons Near Me - Newman, California

I absolutely love my nails every time I go here, all the staff members are always super sweet and kind. They always make sure that you leave happy with their work. Tom is my favorite, he's been doing my nails ever since he worked in Patterson. Aside from doing nails, he has a great personality and hilarious sense of humor, it's like a mini therapy session. So thankful he moved to my home town! I highly recommend this place. They are the best! read more

The lady that was helping me was nice but seemed she didn't know what she was doing. I wasn't sure if she was new or not and I didn't want to be rude as she was trying her best. I'm not an expert on nails so when it was my time for my manicure I asked if she could add tips. She told me no because it was a manicure. Then I figured if she's just going to paint my nails I could ask for a flower, so I did. She said no there wasn't time and that she didn't know how to. I didn't let it upset me because a few people walked in and were waiting to get serviced. When I left I noticed my nails were uneven and she didn't do a good job cleaning up the problem areas. read more

Thomas is the bomb! I followed him from his previous job and I am so happy he has his own salon. His work is amazing and his customer service great! read more

They do a good job overall on shellac nails, but I can never get them to file them correctly. The last time I was there, i got an older man. He did not say a word to me. It was a rather awkward experience. I didn't get a "hi" or "what color?" Idk if I will return. read more

This nail place is my favorite in Newman. Thomas is amazing at doing acrylics and is a joy to talk to. However, some of the women who do the pedicures speak very broken English and don't seem to understand the options on their pedicure "menu". This face gave me difficulty when asking what paraffin wax was and what it did. This same older lady (I wasn't able to get a name as there are no name tags) that wasn't able to understand what I was asking also hand painted flowers on my big toes as an add on to my pedicure. After further examination of the flowers later that day, I realized that they seemed extremely sloppy; something a certified person probably wouldn't do. Besides this fact, I have not had any other issues with this establishment. read more

The woman who did my pedicure hurt me. Instead of massaging my legs she was scratching them. I repeatedly told her it hurt but her English was limited. Besides that, the service was great. I'm not sure if I'd want to come back. I want to be able to enjoy my pedicure. read more

Cuong was great! First time in the salon and the attention to detail was more than I could ask for! I'll be back for sure! TY! read more

I called to make an appointment for 2 pedis a manicure and a full set. Here I am 2 and a half hours later and I didn't even get my full set. Don't book appointments you can't fill. Very unprofessional I will not be back. read more

Always very nice, hard working people. So relaxed after a pedicure, Thanks.... great job and such good people

Went in on a Thursday to get an acrylic fill and by the weekend my nails are bubbling and coming off. Super upset.

Got my first pedicure today and absolutely loved it! The staff couldn't be friendlier! Great spot and highly recommend it!

Thomas is the best, never hurts or cuts me. Always makes sure I am happy. They do a lot of business because they are good. I understand not everyone speaks the Best English but English is their second language, after all I can't speak one word of their first language yet I go there and ask them to do their best work. So what if they are not fluent in English, I'm not their for the speaking skills they do great pedicures and manicures and full sets. And AFFORDABLE YES. Thomas and his wife try hard to do their best. What more could you ask of them. read more

This is one of the best experience that I had Tom the nail tech is so nice and he talks to you while his doing your nails he's honestly really good at his job I live in Patterson but I know that i will be coming back for sure and my nails are so beautiful read more

Went on Sunday very disappointed they were rude it was hot and full of flys. Girl who did my pedicure cut me three times, I left with sticky feet and the scrub was still on my legs poor service! Unacceptable and to expensive for that kind of service and rudeness... I love where I go in Los Banos to bad I can't get that level of service local. read more

Best massage ever! So relaxing. Candy did a great job! I had the organic lavender pedicure.

I was able to get in for a manicure for my daughter and I. The staff was friendly, but the inside was so disorganized. It was cluttered messy. My daughter and I enjoyed our manicure. read more

Gave it a second try after someone told me go to Thomas and in glad I did. He's amazing my shellac lasted this time like it should have and he took the time to make them right and make sure I was happy with them! read more

Thomas does such a wonderful job doing my nails! Always done exactly the way I like them! Definitely a must coming here!

Thomas is amazing! He takes his time and truly cares if your happy with your nails. I just got my nails done for my wedding and he said to come in if I need a chip fixed before and he would squeeze me in no matter how busy he was. He takes longer than most but he does a better job than most. I will never go anywhere else. Mia did my pedicure and it felt amazing. read more

I went in today for a pedicure, it was my first time here. They were busy so my pedicure was moving along faster than I would like. I kept waiting for her to trim my cuticles but she kept moving right along. I finally said something right before she started painting my nails. Why should I have to ask to have my cuticles trimmed?? It's part of a basic pedicure. I don't know if she simply forgot or had no intentions of trimming my cuticles because it was more important to rush me out to move onto the next customer. I won't be back. read more

Absolutely ridiculous! I had an appointment at 11AM. I even got there 10min early and I ran out of patience by 11:15.. Worst part is they took two walk ins ahead of me. IF you enjoy waiting then this is definitely a good place to waste your time. read more

Decided to try this place out there was only one person to do pedicures and manicures got there. One of the young ladies in there was going to attend me I kept asking her what I wanted but she kept trying to redirect me so I decided ok whatever I sat down she kept asking one worker in English what I wanted I kept advising her it's ok to just do a manicure she gave me a really awkward look as I was already feeling uncomfortable she made me feel even worse. I do not recommend anyone to this place unless u like rude service and let them do as u like. I suggest save your money and time to go elsewhere your still going to pay same for the mediocre service they give. read more
