I come to this nail shop quite often and generally have a moderately adequate experience. Today however, I scheduled an appointment to be seen, yet had to wait over 10 minutes upon my prompt arrival. Additionally, there were two white men who came in while I was waiting who did not have appointments who were seen before me. Unless you are a privileged white man, you will not have priority or quality service at this establishment. I highly encourage you to take your money to another establishment. read more

Great pedicure and manicure . A little pricey , but it feels worth it, with the hot stone massage and exfoliating scrub . I also appreciate that they hand you a little card like a menu that says exactly what your paying and what it entails . That way there's no surprises. Good massage chairs . Nail technicians were lovely and sweet. Clean sanitized tools and clean salon all around . read more

My first time coming here and I loved it! My usual nail salon is in Rocklin where I used to live, but I just moved up to Applegate and need a nail salon closer. Decided to give pearl a shot and I am so glad I did! Everyone is incredibly friendly, especially the nail technician who did my nails, Tina! She was so sweet. She makes sure your nails are even and you're okay with the shape before continuing on. I love that she gives you a chance to let her know if anything needs to be fixed! I will definitely be coming back :] read more

Pearl Nails - Love the color and how even they are! Thanks Tina! - Nail Salons Near Me - Auburn, California

This Nail salon is the most rude nail salon I've ever been too. They pick at your skin so harshly and never apologize. One time I asked for a more coffin shape then I had asked the nail technician if he could make it more Coffin shaped, he scoffed and said to me "coffin shape?!?" And I said yes and you could tell that he got very upset and did the rest of the manicure carelessly. I'm never going here ever again. Waist of money and waist of time when you already have an appointment they make you wait 20+ minutes to help other customers who are just walk ins. read more

I went in to get a fill and the worker was extremely rough and going fast. When she was filing my nail, it hurt super bad and one point and it caused me to jump out of my chair! I thought she had just sanded a corner down too far. She continued and my nails looked great, even though my finger hurt. It still hurt for a week or so.. so I decided I needed to take my nails off to allow my sore finger to heal (what I thought was an ingrown nail where I thought she sanded it too far). The moment I took the fake nail off of my nail bed, the "ingrown nail corner" started to ooze pus... and my finger started throbbing and shortly after a large splinter came out of my finger. When she was filling my nail super fast and rough, she pushed a splinter into my finger from her nail file! Talk about painful!! I went in and showed her my finger and a photo of the splinter. She was non-apologetic and rude. She told me she couldn't give me a refund but would put another set on. Yeah, no thank you, I don't want you to give me another emery board splinter. I will never be back and will not recommend in the future. read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Do not spend your hard earned money here. I wish I wouldn't have. My friend's friend suggested this place, so my best friend and I decided to try it. We made an appointment, but even with a set appointment time we waited about 25 mins. After we were seated we waited another 10 mins. My friend was done well before me, enough time to go get food, eat it and return. I told the lady (I had an older lady, I didn't get her name) that I wanted a gel manicure and tips on two of my nails that had broken. She kept insisting that I should get a full set (acrylic) and that it would look much better. After about 5 mins of arguing she took my hand and just started clipping my nails super short! I was pissed, because I had been growing my nails out for a while. I didn't know what to do, so I just went with it. No going back after she steady clipped them all off! I told her I wanted them natural looking and very thin. I wish I would have gotten a picture of these horrendous nails. They were fatter than my actual nail, fanned out, extremely thick and painful. She cut me multiple times! Damn near every finger had a cut. I was so disgusted. I went out to the car and showed my friend and she gasped and said, "what the hell is that?! You need to go get those fixed." I'm usually not the type of person to complain, I'll just deal with it, but this was the worst acrylic set I've ever seen. I decided to go back in and a man, who I think was the manager, took one look and said he was so sorry and he'd fix it. Another 45 mins later they had them semi-fixed, but they still weren't what I asked for. They also tried to charge me for fixing them! Absolutely not ok. My friend's nails chipped the next day, and so did mine. I will never go back! This place is a rip off, absolutely no attention to detail. Whoever that older lady is, they need to get rid of her. read more

Today Kelly did my nails. You are so amazing at what you do Kelly! She comes highly recommended in my books. She gave me a fill with gel, and a pedicure with gel polish as well. I love her input on the colors I choose or sometimes I ask he what I should do. I'm in heaven!!! Sweetest lady I know. read more

I love this salon! Great service and beautiful nails. My last gel manicure lasted a full 3 weeks.

Came here for a gel manicure and the lady who did my nails was friendly and all but the negative was they started chipping off on the 3rd or 4th day which is unacceptable! For $30?!? My gel manicures usually last me at least 14-15 days before they start to show signs of wear. Not coming back here again. read more

The most important thing for me when I am looking for a new nail place is cleanliness. The second thing I care about is how long my manicure or pedicure lasts. Pearl Nails delivers on both of the above, and then some. Friendly, experienced, professional service, and THE BEST massages I have ever had. Do your feet and hands a favor and take them to Pearl Nails for some TLC. read more

My visit with Holly was, as always, such a joy! She is such a rare gem. Her attention to detail is remarkable, as well as her attention to a real connection to her clients. I followed her from TK Nails and I am so pleased to have such a wonderful person in my life. read more

I love this place and recommend it to every one of my clients. As a cosmetologist, I am trained on how nail salons are supposed to clean and sanitize. They follow these rules! Everything is pre-packaged so you know that it's clean and all their masks are individually packed to avoid double dipping! They use plastic liners in the pedicure bowls and change them with every guest. It is by far the cleanest nail salon I have ever been to! Kelly is my favorite! She gives an awesome massage and really caters to you the entire time. And everyone else is great too! I highly recommend this salon to anyone in need of a pedicure! You will not be disappointed! read more

John is absolutely the best nail technician in placer county. He actually listens to what you want and has never failed to give me the look I want read more

Three of us went for pre-wedding pampering, 5 total services. 2 pedicures, 1 Gel manicure and 2 Acrylic sets. The pedicures were done properly and relaxing. However, the acrylic manicurists were rough, cutting our skin and our fingers hurt for 3 days. My set are so thick and not like the photo I wanted at all. They looked awful and when I asked her to make them thinner she ignored me. They have a terrible shape. My daughter-in-law had a similar issue and they did not take their time and do what she wanted but also were thick and the design was sloppy and overall not very attractive. We were from out of town and checked reviews before selecting this location so are very disappointed and it cost us over $200 to get this done so save your money select another salon. read more

This place is fairly standard as far as services go. Everyone is friendly, and there is always a steady flow of customers through there, an appointment may be necessary during some obvious weekend and evening times. What I like most about this salon is it's fairly new and they have new equipment. The massage chairs for the spa pedicures are wonderful, and they have spa pedicure menus where you can select different services from hot stone foot massage to different exfoliating treatments, they all smell amazing and feel wonderful. The color selection is great and I've used several different employees and they all seem skilled and professional. This is definitely me go to spot in Auburn. read more

I've had 3 friends get nail fungus or infections after going here!! I wouldn't recommend

Took my granddaughter for her first pedi for her bday. I felt very rushed and wasn't a good experience at all.

Came in on Mother's Day. They where able to get us in fairly quickly but after that it was a strange experience. I got a pedicure it was rushed because they where busy and it was expensive. Massage was nice but my toe nails where shaped strange and the gel polish which should last over 2 weeks lasted less than one. I'll never go back read more

Overall an amazing experience! The staff is very attentive, and keep the place nice and clean! My pedicure was incredibly relaxing and a perfect way to start my week! I'll definitely be returning. Update: the only complaint I have is that every time I get rhinestones on my pedi, they fall off within a few days! read more

Please try. Oh my goodness! I have been to just about every other place in town for a nice, friendly, clean nail salon. And, I HAVE FINALLY FOUND IT! I wasn't ignored upon entering (big pet peeve). My appointment time was spot on as I was seated promptly - not waiting an additional 10 minutes...... (... grrrrrrr.) I will be back to get my nails done. And, I will be back to have my mother get pampered here, as well. Nice chairs - best ever massage for my back that was hurting due to too much golf. Nice music - classical & smooth jazz - some elevator music. Nail Polish - Huge assortment of OPI. And, another thing. When the gal had to go get fresh towels or had to leave me momentarily, she would state as much, and not just leave me wondering, "Where the hell did SHE GO?" EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN! Everything. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, PEARL NAILS!!!!!! read more

Love this place! They can always get me in for a quick fill. Pedi's are the best too! And the chairs for pedi and super comfy and great message chair too! read more

Request Holly for mania and pedis. She is talented, professional, knowledgeable and is just amazing. Her pedicures, well you just have to experience it for yourself. She listens, provides stellar customer service, customizes your needs and excellent attention to detail! Whether pedi, gel, dip, or pink/white nails, she does it all. She has a big heart and is very sweet. Found Holly at a different salon last year and followed her. Heck, I don't even live in Auburn, but this a treat each time I visit! read more

Such great customer service. I had an exfoliating pedicure and gel manicure at the same time! I felt on top of the world. And both technicians were very attentive, personable and kind. I've been here a couple times before, but I came this time with a gift certificate and they still went above and beyond. Thank you so very much Pearl Nails. Best treatment ever! read more

I love this salon. The pedicures are so relaxing and the chairs are great. I've had three techs fill my nails and they've all been great. John is my favorite. He's such a perfectionist. I've gone three weeks between fills and never had a problem with chipping or lifting. The salon is super clean too. read more

Pearl Nails - Love my patriotic nails for the 4th of July! This nail salon is my favorite. John is amazing! - Nail Salons Near Me - Auburn, California

Walked in on Sunday to see about getting my nails fixed from a full set done the day before somewhere else. John did a great job! He sanded, filed, filled in, sanded, and filed some more on nails that were uneven, lumpy, not completely filled, and smudged polish. He took his time to make sure the surface and tips were even and gel nail color was put on flawlessly. They look fantastic. When I saw that they did waxing too, I asked about being fit in and it was no problem. Rose did a wonderful job! The environment was clean and inviting and well laid out. The people were gentle, accommodating, and friendly. The price was great also. Thank you so much John and Rose! Can't wait to try the pedicure! read more

I may just be the only person who didn't enjoy my experience at Pearl. First of all when I told them I had two colors I wanted the lady got frustrated and rolled her eyes and violently grabbed the polishes. Then when I asked for a simple design she told me she couldn't do it.. (It was just three triangles) So I just asked for something different no big deal, but then she started to put flare nails on when she hadn't even asked if I wanted them, which I didn't. In the middle of applying them I had told her I didn't want these I wanted the straight ones and she just sent me off to another lady to finish them. In the end I didn't get what I wanted at all and left with two crooked nails. read more

The nail technicians here are sweet but I didn't have a great experience with my pedicure. The soaking water wasn't warm at all, the massage chair was broken and the nail technician was a bit sloppy painting my nails. Sorry, but I would not get my nails done here again read more

I love this wonderful place. Walked in today after not having been there for along time and the feeling was the same. Kind staff and a relaxing atmosphere. All I wanted was a gel polish manicure and they got to me right away. My nails look awesome and I felt amazing getting them done. I definitely recommend going here. read more

Pearl Nails - Best Easter Nails ever by Tina! - Nail Salons Near Me - Auburn, California

Giving 1 star because you can't post a review with zeroExtremely disappointed with my last time in. Came in for Gel pedicure and manicure...pedicure was great, manicure ended up not using gel and halfway through I asked if it was gel. She said no did you want gel I said yes. Was told this bonding primer coat would make the regular polish last last longer than the gel would since I was growing out nails after having acrylics for years, I should have known better. 2 days later and my nails look horrible. Called and told them off the issue and Tommy said "come on in and we will make it right" WRONG! Wasted drive. Won't go back. I did learn that they charge 5 bucks to remove dip if you don't have dip done again, buyer beware. Such a shame have been going there since they opened. So much for customer service. Response- Actually another salon DID make what you represented right. Now THAT'S customer service. read more

Unfortunately on Dec. 1st was my last appointment with Tina as I moved. I will truly miss the friendly faces of everyone at the Spa and especially Tina. Having used this Spa for my nail and pedicure needs for the last 5 years will be tough. Trying to find a new facility that will stand up to all of the services I've received at Pearl Nails will be difficult. A shout out to Tina, "I will truly Miss You"...... Thank you for everything!
