This is the first and last time will go to Nicole's Nails. It was a very unpleasant experience and its too expensive for their lacking of customer service and half done services. I got a pedicure done for myself and 6 yr old. They said it would be more money if I wanted to add water for my 6 yr old pedi! They just painted nails! It was $ 35 when they first said $20! It was a waste of $70 and disappointing especially since it was suppose to be a special spa day! DON'T GO not friendly and a scam. They were constantly speaking in Vietnamese among each other and arguing. They made us wait 30 mins should of just left. read more

I got a simple Gel , my cuticles are horrible , the edges immediately lifted as soon as I left the salon . My nails chipped almost immediately (the next day ) Nice lady but she was digging her nails into mine as she painted mine . I couldn't tell if the clippers were sterile as the bag was open and the gel polish had flakes in it Not going back read more

If zero stars were an option that's what rating I'd give. My husband was nicked three times by the man who did his pedicure and had to have his toes bandaged when he got home. The entire pedicure lasted no more than 15 mins and for that he paid $35. We will definitely never go back read more

Called ahead on a Sunday morning and she was the only one with availability for a pedicure. Walked-in to no wait and she sat me down in a chair right away! read more

Very nice ladies. Quality work. Very friendly prices very reasonable. Thank you Will go again when in town. read more

I went to this store couple times and never get disappointed. I always ask for Helen to do it because she understands what I want and always get it right. Store can be busy sometimes especially close to holidays or evening so I recommend if you don't want to wait, it's best to go in the morning, you skipped the busy time and have more time to have your medi and pedicure taken care of. Many people don't know but recently they have new owner now and the workers here are super nice and kudos for them, they open late compared to other store so I came in late one time and they are still willing to take off and clean up my nails for me. read more

they are very kind but did not do a good job on my nails at all. I got acrylics and the shaping is off as well as the design I asked for. I just got a colored French tip with two colors of blue and it was not good. If you're just going to get solid color nails then maybe it would be okay but don't go if you are looking for simple designs read more

5stars for being the only nail salon open late !))) kim is cool af and made time for me she rocks read more

Honestly I feel like I could have done a better job. I got the lady who runs the salon and I got this in return. She cut my cuticle, nails look messy, snowflakes that don't look like snowflakes, and on top of it with her tools she tried to pull the dried polish off my skin and it was painful. I told her that it hurts and she could see I was in pain but she continued. Never again read more

Kimberly does a great job! So I thought her employees would as well.. I got a gel manicure & it looks like a 5 year old smudged paint all over my nails & cuticles. The male employee with the glasses & hair also cut my cuticles & made me bleed. He also did NOT paint my whole nail! He left about 5 nails not fully painted. I let him know and he said my fingers were tiny & that it was my skin. WHICH WAS NOT. He left my cuticles looking worse than when I came in. 30$ later for my nails to come out looking like sh*t. I could have done a WAY better job painting them myself. Instead I paid $30 for someone to mess my nails up LOL. He also shaped my nails very weird, I don't know what shape to call it. He was a very nice man! Just doesn't do a very nice Job. Won't be going back xoXo read more

Excellent service! Bo did an incredible job. I called to schedule my appointment and was able to get one same day on a Sunday which was very convenient for me. Central location, very clean. During the appointment Bo made sure I was satisfied with my nails and made me feel comfortable. The salon abides by COVID safety protocols and staff was very friendly. I would recommend. Thank you for making my nails look so amazing and I appreciate the genuine customer service. read more

The pictures may be hard to see that my gel manicure is horrible . They are all smudged and some are even chipping. I got a gel manicure yesterday around noon time and not even 24 hours they are looking like this. I am going to go by today to see if they will fix them. Unsure if the nail polish is bad or if they didn't completely dry. I've heard many great experiences from this salon, so it's surprising that this happened to me. I probably won't go back read more

Do not go here. Even in desperate times. Went in for gel nail removal. Nail tech did not ask any questions before she started chopping off my real nails! I didn't want them cut I just wanted the gel removed! She cut them before I could stop her. It was the worst pain ever. She said "tell me if it hurts". I told her it hurts!!! She continued and disregarded what I had just told her. Other techs usually sand of a good chunk of the gel quickly then have you soak them before moving the rest. This tech had me sit there for 30 min, took off 1st layer, then sat another 20 min before removing the rest. She then asked if I wanted a manicure. I said sure. She randomly filed my nails (all in even lengths at this point). Cut my cuticles (very sloppy). Threw a slab of lotion on my arm and called it a day. $45! Has to be the most horrific experience. Could make someone never ever want a manicure again. Thank goodness this will be just a on time experience and I have someone I regularly go to. Lesson learned. Next time will just wait things out. read more

I recently moved to the area and this is the first nail salon I tried. The personnel were absolutely friendly....but I cannot in good conscience recommend their services. I requested the removal of acrylic nails and a new set put on. I also asked for a pedicure. My mother asked for a simple mani/pedi. What would normally take about and hour or so turned into a five hour ordeal. As with other reviews the salon is very cluttered. I wouldn't call it filthy but it definitely looks dated and could use a serious facelift. While getting my nails done I was asked to change chairs on four separate occasions. I wanted simple pink and white acrylics. I didn't get that. These people use a drill for everything. They drilled my cuticles off to the point I started bleeding on several fingers. My nails did have a neat appearance when done. They looked like my 12 year old niece did them. They are uneven and some parts of the nail feels rough like debris got caught in the polish. During my pedicure they literally ran me a tub of cold water. Not even lukewarm. They barely scrubbed my feet. They literally took the drill and ran it across my feet. They used about a fingertip of foot scrub for both my legs and feet. You can forget about any type of leg or foot massage. The man literally just kept pounding the sides of my calves with his fist. My toenails were cut unevenly and the polish job is extremely patchy. My mother told me they didn't even file her nails during her mani/pedi. She had a different technician than I did . She also complained about her foot soak water being cold. When I looked her finished product I could tell her polish was patchy and uneven. All in all it just wasn't a pleasant experience and in the end it cost me $155. People go to a nail salon for a bit of pampering. They want to have their hands and feet looking impeccable and have some relaxation in the process. This is not the place for these things. With all these fairly negative reviews I'm surprised this place is still in business. My search for a decent nail salon continues. read more

I really wanted to support and like this place, but unfortunately most of the nail shops in Lompoc are terrible. I had a male tech. It was to be a simple acrylic fill, shorten the nails a bit and gel polish. The man wreaked of smoke & didn't seem confident as he started filing, but I was patient and thought maybe he was just filing off old gel and shortening nails, then the lady would take over. Wrong. He started doing the acrylic fill but hadn't completely filed off previous dark gel polish I had come in with nor cleaned up my nailbeds/cuticles so looks dirty because the old polish shows through the new layer of acrylic that he applied to my skin too. Then started filing with an emery board before the sloppy acrylic had a chance to fully dry and kept cutting me. I told him & finally I asked for his file and started doing my own nails...giving him tips as I did because I thought he was new and learning. I am not a licensed nail technician, not sure he is either...fixed the mess as best I could, annoyed, but trying to be patient because we all have to learn right? He then proceeds to answer his cell phone and go out for a chat/smoke break. Didn't say a word to me. Wow. So I needed my other hand done and asked the lady worker to pls help. She was better at nails than him and she worked a little too fast. She was standing up over me trying to hurriedly fix what she could with a file and scolding him. She then asked me to go wash my hands and I spent a long time at the sink cleaning off acrylic and loose pieces of cuticle. I finally dry my hands and walk back to sit down, and the same guy is back from his "break"sitting at the desk with the gel color I picked to polish. "I'm sorry but my nails look horrible. Polish will just accentuate it," I said to the lady. "Ok, I fix for you" and she added more acrylic and more filing. My nails are very short. Simple, square, neat nails. Nothing fancy. The guy had filed alot of my square corners off and made them uneven and bumpy. She improved but can't really completely fix it. It was bad. I have so many cuts that the man did...many finger cuts. Both Never once used alcohol or anything to clean/sanitize. Finally ready (well as ready as it was gonna get anyway) and here comes dude again. OMG! but I'm like well maybe polish is his thing because he's not good at nails Maybe an artist. NOPE! he starts applying gel polish heavily on one side missing gaps and sloppy including a big glob of dried polish on my thumb and was just going to leave it. I had had enough at this point...So I take the gel polish and paint my entire left hand and put it under the light and explaining to him that he has to paint every nail evenly because once it cures under the light there's no fixing it. His response "Yeah yeah! Ok! I know!" and he goes and takes another break lol. So I get done painting my left hand but can't do my right with my non dominant hand...I asked the lady again can you help please? She did. She was quick and she was upset at him. She finished the color and then was going to have him paint the clear coat! He came back in from his 2nd "break" but this time I shook my head and told him "No way, sorry! 3 chances you're out bro!" To lady tech "can YOU just finish my nails pls?" He needs so much more training and was shocked to learn he's worked there for many years!! How?!! She came and painted on the clear coat quickly still yelling at him in her language. Then charges me $35. I probably should have walked out but it was so awkward and didn't want any further "incidents" after being there for 3 1/2 hours! for a simple fill! I just wanted to leave. No apologies but the man said "have a nice day". As soon as I Got into my car I noticed the lady missed areas of gel and top coat and my nails aren't square like when I came in. . I do appreciate her trying to fix them and she did better but Wow! That was incredibly stressful. I feel like I have had the worst luck with nail techs and service staff in general, and yet go above and beyond to try and rectify the situation even though it's not my fault. I had read the reviews prior but still try to give people a chance because things happen, BUT This is one place that, unfortunately, the negative feedback/reviews are true. Will Never go there again, and now need to pay more money and drive to another city to get a whole new full set! I wish them well but if the owner happens sees this, please get that man a great deal of training or a different job altogether! Customers shouldn't have to do their own nails nor endure all that. That was pretty ridiculous! I apologize for the long post but hope I spared someone the time & tremendously stressful afternoon situation I had. read more

WORST NAIL SALON EVER! I went to get acrylics removed and he ripped my nail off entirely. I had been trying to grow them out and he ripped it off. Then put gel polish over an open cut and didn't cover it at all. Then got upset when I asked them to redo it. They didn't have the color I wanted and had to pick another color. Cut my nails, ripped off 2 nails. NEVER GO HERE THE ABSOLUTE WORST NAIL SALON EVER! read more

The people are really nice people. the service is just trash. The filing, nail cutting, cuticle remover etc. Definitely not worth 30 or 40 with gel. They need more training . read more

So not worth 50 bucks. They took their time getting to me. Then two different people started working on me so I couldn't even enjoy the pedi because I had to leave over half way across the chair so the women could do my nails. Not comfortable for 2 hours! My pedi was really basic. A Cosmo school does more for less. 30 bucks for a pedi there. I could do better and won't be going back. The only good thing about this is they did my toes and they look nice so I won't say more about that. My nails are a whole other topic. I'm bleeding in two different areas. And then they kept putting I swear acetone on them to stop it. So my hands now in pain. (I have a full body tat and that didn't even hurt). Basically they did it fast and shitty. Will not be going back to this place. Ever again and will not recommend them. The women next to me even said she didn't like the color if her toes and he kept painting them saying there fine. read more

I would give them a no start but I can't. I went in to have my nails filed down as I had a new set put on by someone else that were extremely think. I had an appt at 230 and finally got sat down and worked on at 3pm. While they were filing they cut me 3 times and left my hand so sore it hurt to write. I wasn't able to stay and have them painted due to the fact they got me in late and I had to pick up my kids. She said I would pay for the polish today and come in the following day. I was unfortunately unable to return the following day to have them painted. I was not worried about the $5 i was losing for the polish. However with the polish my total was $36 dollars. When it cleared my bank account they charged my $41 dollars. They STOLE $5 from me with out my consent. DO NOT EVER GO HERE. read more

I went to get a mani and my daughter a pedi. We got there at 4:30 on Sunday and didn't not leave until 8:10pm. It wasn't that busy. I haven't had a full set in a while and now I regret it. My nails look atrocious and blocky and thick. I can't even describe the level of unprofessionalism and how thick these nails are. Bulky and just ugly. The only way to describe the atrocity is by a picture. Never, ever again. read more

Bo, Kim and all the employees are so kind and welcoming. I absolutely love their pedicures when they're not rushing. I usually just come for their pedis and go somewhere else for my full set/fill. The times I have received a full set, my nails are crooked, nail polish are all over my cuticles, the acrylic is SUPER lumpy and uneven. I've been coming to this nail salon, on and off, for about ten years and almost every time I end up getting cut, whether it's my toes or nails. The people are so kind but the quality of manicures/full sets/acrylics are almost close to sh**. read more

Kimberly is very nice, but her husband is beyond irritating. I felt like I was in a bad comedy club. We moved here a year ago, and finding a local nail salon has been a nightmare; I have to drive to my old one all the way in Solvang, except for one time and that was Kimberly's, but the place was so cluttered and filthy, and the husband was so obnoxious, that I've never been back. Good luck finding a nail salon in this city; there are a ton of them, but they are all either disgusting and filthy, or "too busy". Try Santa Maria instead. read more

Tried to give this place a chance to redeem itself. But at no luck. The space is cluttered, messy, and questionably sanitary.. many of their tools have been over used. My last visit to this place a girl came in before her shift and did her nails beside myself and the lady doing my nails without sanitizing her hands. It would be my recommendation to find a different salon. read more

I came here with my friend for a manicure, and this was honestly the worst nail job I've ever gotten. I am even better off doing my nails myself. There were bumpy ridges on them, my entire nail was not even covered with the nail polish, and the guy was in a rush. So, he didn't do a good job. He talked a lot so if that entertains you, thats a plus. But other than that, I will not be coming back. read more

Treated like royalty, but my french manicure didn't last three days. I'm happy with my pedicure and I did receive a free facial.

I would not recommend this nail salon to any girl that gets her nails done on a regular basis! I asked for a fill and though the ladies were kind, she drilled too far down on my cuticles till they bled. She did not touch up the white tip so my natural nails were still showing and lifting underneath. The acrylic gel ( which usually lasts up to three weeks) started chipping within a few days! They also charge more than most salons...ladies don't waste your money. read more

My sister and I went to Wonder Nails and got a French Mani/Pedi but they didn't even last more than 3 days. We then went here for a re-do. The place is super clean and Kim is wonderful and really nice. Our re-do Mani/Pedi has lasted for more than 2 wks. Thank you Kim. read more

Manicure from hell. A simple manicure and polish took an hour and 15 minutes. Nail operators were obsessive and did simple things over and over. Occasionally pulled my finger away because it was being hurt. I thought the place was unclean and should have followed my instinct to walk out when I first came in. Awful in every way. UPDATE: add nail fungus to my list of complaints!. YUCK! What the hell was I thinking? ~sld read more
