They didn't remove all of the old polish and told me that it was paint on my finger and made me bleed when taking off the prior tips. The nail started lifting after just a few days and I had to go to another place to get it fixed. Hope your experience is better. read more

Where is Peter? I use to go to Peter at Oildale Nails but he's no longer working there. The other guy is rough and weakened my nails by filing all of my natural nails during a gel only color change. It took me several months to grow my nails out again because they kept breaking due to being filed too much. I'd like to know what shop Peter is working at! Oildale nails will not give out any info. UPDATE: Peter is at Skin Diep on Gosford and White Ln 661-834-2582 read more

The only nail salon in Oildale. I give it a 3 because the last time I visited it was pretty packed and humid in there! and no A.C was on. I suggest they should provide a comfortable setting for their paying customers. Their prices aren't too bad, although their work is not the best either. They get the job done for the locals. read more

Oildale Nails - thank you Von - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Super friendly, these guys have a great sense of humor, always have a chair open and love to do extra little cute touches!

Well, to start off... I do not usually give a review unless I feel a job has been very well done. I visited the Oildale Nails for the very first time about one wk ago. Where I usually get my pedicure approx once per month was also a shop that welcomes walkins but there are only two employees and sometimes there is a wait. Since I desperately needed a pedicure I decided to try Oildale Nails. It is after all much closer to my home and I like supporting people with small businesses in Oildale. I can not comment on manicures as I am at that age where I get those ugly age spots on my hands and do not like to draw any attentions to my hands. I will comment on the pedicure that I received last week. I made the appt with an employee by the name of Lilly. I have to say that she gave me the best pedicure that I have ever had. The pedicure menu she handed me was a little confusing as there were so many different types to choose from. The one I picked cost $30. I am not sure what the name of it was. I got the oil treatment, hot rocks, callus removal, and my nails trimmed short like I prefer. Lilly applied my polish after she put my Croc rubber thongs on my feet. All I had to do was step out of the spa chair and go pay my bill. I was asked by the management how was my experience? I told them PERFECT. I will definitely return to Oildale Nails for a second pedi in 4 to 6 wks from now. I will pick a different color of polish. That was my only disappointment and that was my fault. by: NQ, 93308 read more

Never have had a good experience here. They need to work on nail shaping and their color selection is low compared to other places. They are really nice and sweet but not worth coming to the salon for a full set . read more

Out of the 12 times that I have been taken care of at Oildale Nails, I have only been dissatisfied one time. I say that's a pretty darn good record! Most of the time I have Tammy do my nails. She is an artist! She and her husband run the store and are very gracious. I have gone to other places in the past and I feel that for the service that I have received, the price is very good. These are hard-working people and I appreciate them bending over backwards to get me in on short notice at times. read more

I have been going here (without any problems) for a couple years, but they recently hired new staff and put in another TV. The staff were very friendly during my visit yesterday. I was offered bottled water or hot tea and given a business card that guarantees no chips in GEL nails for 7 days, or they will fix free of charge. They also gave me a small gift wrapped bag with a pumice bar and lotion on my way out, as a way to say Thank you during the holiday season. It hasn't been 7 days, so I can't make a statement on the quality of the polish, but the gentleman who worked on mine took his time and was very meticulous. They look great. Another woman was very nice about helping customers with desired nail colors. Customer service was great! 12/22- 9 days later, no chips in nails. Happy read more

Ok... this review is for the brand new owners. They totally over charged and did a bad bad job that needed two woman to do it cause the first woman had no clue what she was doing and the other woman Tammy does good shape but coloring was awful and had glue and polish all over fingers plus took 2.5 hours to do. She was sooooo nice but I paid 45 dollars for these nails and was suppose to get ombré nails and it was AWFUL. I HATE leaving a bad review and is first one I've left but it was bad bad bad. Old owners were good and you got good nails for a cheaper price. They won't last long like this. I'm sorry but being honest. A woman in front of me was very un happy also with her coloring. I wish this was a good review cause I went to this saloon for eyebrows too & she was good!!! Come back old owners. read more

I just had the most amazing pedicure & hot stone massage. Wendy was such a sweetheart. They are all nice! I will be coming back. My legs & feet feel amazing. read more

The owner was very friendly. I would recommend you make an appt or else you will be there waiting for quite awhile because it can get busy.

Wendy did a wonderful job on my nails thank you so much. After a long day of working 12hrs she was able to fix my nails and hands up so well. The arm massage was a great way to end my evening. Can't wait to go back again. I've been coming to this salon for years and I appreciate all the work I get done from waxing to amazing pedicures with hot rocks as well as my manicures. I would definitely recommend Wendy she is very sweet and kind and a wonderful young lady working her way through college. :) see you again soon. read more

I've been to this shop a few times. I guess I keep going back because it's conveniently located for me. But I'm done. They ask you to choose which Pedi you want ($20, $30, $40 or $50). I always choose the basic $20 and the past 2 times they charged me $24 plus tip. The same man does my pedi, not because I request him but because he's always available. He digs and draws blood. He's kind but unskilled. The finished product is good and the polish lasts for 2 to 3 weeks, but the process is very unpleasant. I'm not going back. read more

Under new management. Im very picky when it comes to nails. But they do a good job, great pedicures. And Im close by, so Ill definitely return. Friendly staff aswell. read more

Worst place to ever get your eyebrows waxed. They only know one shape, THIN. The last time I got my eyebrows done must have been 6 months ago and I'm STILL trying to grow them out again. I told her just a nice clean up. She took off more than half of my eyebrow. Same thing happened to my boyfriend at this place. He has huge bushy eyebrows and wanted to keep them still looking manly, just cleaning up his unibrow and the tops. She left him with tiny, girly shaped eyebrows. Not to mention how sloppy they are. Take a look at their wax heater. Not sanitary whatsoever. Plus they recently got new pedicure chairs and think they're the sh** so prices went up like $6 each. Spend that kind of money somewhere else and get quality work, unlike here. read more

I've been to this salon three times and twice my gel color nails we're amazing but the last visit I had a very bad experience with this guy named Casey. I requested chrome nails I stayed there three and a half he's. And he just couldn't do it the correct way, he burned my skin I'm done with place. I had to come back next day for someone else to fix them I'm not going back plus it's very dirty they don't put towels or clean the equipment. Never again I'm coming back horrible job read more

I'm pretty sure this place is under new ownership. I mean the salon has done a complete 180. So much cleaner! Also the nail techs offer quality service at a really great price. Tammy is AMAZING. read more

I really enjoy the friendly service here. I'm a pretty regular customer, and I noticed they've remodeled the place. The lady who does my brows, Stacy, is so sweet. She works quickly and does a clean job. I also get acrylics done every other visit and Paul is THE BEST at shaping and making sure they last long! read more

I love this nail salon. I not only go there just because I live near by but I go because I like their work. The staff is really friendly. I love the way Cece and Tammy do nails. They last 3 weeks before I need to go back for a fill. read more

I was a first timer to this shop but after my visit, my nails came out bad and uneven. I will not be returning to this place.

I come here not only because it's close to my house but because I can get my nails done in relative peace. I hate trying to hold a conversation with my manicurist and these people generally leave me alone. I see most of the reviews complaining about that fact but it's perfect for socially awkward people like me. The prices are very affordable and while it's not the BEST manicure I've ever had it's certainly not the worst. I take great care of my acrylics and I've had the same set on for over a month. It's quality work. Better than I've gotten in the more "upscale" salons and with none of that stuck up attitude those places seem to have. read more

Would not ever go back again!!! They had horrible service! Mother, maid of honor, and I went in to get our nails done for my wedding this weekend. Woman had a crappy attitude to my mother when asking a question. Two men did mine and my maid of honors nails. I had a fill and she did a new set. The man who did a new set on my moh put pink on the nail which she didn't want. She asked him to get clear like mine because they need to look more natural. He said no it looks better with pink and she insisted on changing it but he was denying to do it because he can't, it looks better. I came in with a fill with one nail off and he purposely losses two of my nails to replace them so he can charge me more. So rude of these people to give us horrible service especially the week of my wedding. Unbelievable how they don't care one bit of there customers. Will never go back again! read more

I went here on Saturday 18th of 2012. I was seen by David, My acrylic did not cover all of my tip, and my gel finish did not set under the UV lights long enough so less then 12 hours later it was bubbling and pealing off. When I went back on Sunday, I had the wost experience, Come to find out my nails are not the only nails he messed on. There was a poor high school girl there who got her nails done for the first week of school and they were thick and wavy and some were flat. When I was seen I had to argue with him to get my money back and he chopped my nails to shit and they were gagged as all hell. read more

I didn't have a good experience I got mine done yesterday and I woke up today and now my nails are white underneath read more

I had a pedicure done here 3 months ago. I went based on a friends recommendation, but it was horrible! They are very expensive and confusing when they quote their pricing. In fact the price changed from the time I started to the time I paid. So I ended up paying $40 for a gel manicure! Way more then I ever have and to top it off, I've had an ingrown toenail since. I've never had an ingrown toenail but I know she was frustrated with that particular toe when cutting it. But of course, she wouldn't tell me that...so now I suffer with this annoying problem that will probably require a podiatrist to fix. NEVER GOING BACK HERE!!! read more

One word...SMELLY. I heard they recently renovated so I hope it's not like this anymore but the last time I was there the place smelled like mildew so bad I left. I'm assuming it was the carpet, the entire shop was carpeted. Not a good idea for a nail salon in my opinion. If a pedicure tub overflows or has a leak with plumbing how does that get cleaned up properly? read more

Not friendly AT ALL. I had to ask the guy if he liked his job, because he sure didn't act like it. The Pedicure was OK, but the guy who did it never smiled, never said anything and never looked at me at all. I was the only customer in the shop. No I won't go back. read more

They remodeled almost everything in the salon a couple months ago, so the environment is much more pleasant now as opposed to before. Friendly employees and decent service. My full set came out very satisfactory. :) read more

come here all the time ! everyone there is super nice and great at there job ! won't ever go to another nail salon :)

I got my nails done here about a week and they are the worst I have ever seen . They are already coming up in the corners and they just look bad all together. I wouldn't tell anyone to go there. The man who did mine hurt me a few different times and didn't seem to care.. read more

I hate this place! The people are rough and uncaring. I always ask them to be gentle with my hands but still they push their nails into the edges of my cuticles, or worse, use the rotary file on them which sometimes makes them bleed. And when I tell them what shape I want, they NEVER get it right... I even took a picture in last time but no... not even close. I always want to cry when i'm in there and vow never to go back when I leave. Well, today was the last time. Like Mary R. said... I'm done! read more

i've gotten my nails done every two weeks for nearly four years. never have i had a worse experience than i did at oildale nails, not only was the service bad but my nails have never come out worse even though i asked two separate people to fix one mans mistakes and they couldn't. i only gave one star because i had to. read more
