I have been trying different nail salons for around 3-4 years now. I've always felt uncomfortable or like they did not truly care about what the finished product was going to look like, until I walked into Pretty Nails for the first time. When I walked into Pretty Nails for the first time I was immediately greeted with a hello and a kind smile. Just a few minutes later a nice lady told me she had a seat ready for me and asked me what I was looking to do with my nails. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she told me that she could totally do that for me. She did not rush at all which I appreciated immensely because places I have been to in the past usually rush the process based on their other scheduled appointments. The chairs they use for their customers are extremely cushioned and comfortable, while you sit they have light music for you to enjoy and different shows you might enjoy watching. When she finished my nails I was very pleased with the finished product as well as the price. Their prices are very affordable for high-school students like myself as well as for busy parents who may have more important things to spend larger amounts of money on. My gel acrylics were 45 dollars but with different designs or gold flakes added it was about 50 to 55 dollars. Usually nail places charge up to 60 to 70 dollars for acrylic gel with added designs. There are plenty of different nail salons in Citrus Heights such as Happy Nails, Lena Nails, etc, but Pretty Nails stood out from these places because of how affordable their prices are and how comfortable they make each and every one of their customers feel. read more

I went here valentines weekend because my normal salon couldn't get me in. The pedicure took an hour and a half and was not the results I wanted. The man who did my toes was very slow and was not good at painting french pedicures. It was a $15 up charge for these results (see photo). My big toe was very messy and the second toe was painted so crooked. He tried fixing it a couple times and couldn't get it right. But I still tipped because him & the staff were very nice but I wouldn't go back for a french pedicure again. read more

Nice staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Every time I ask for a design I get paired with someone that can't do designs on nails.

I have been going to Pretty Nails every month since August 2021 and I will continue going back until I'm no longer around lol. I leave there with beautiful nails and toes everytime! They are amazing here! So friendly, I love going in! Great prices, wonderful looking nails! read more

Well. I am very happy with my nails. I forgot his name. But the man in chair 4 did my nails. And I feel like he did his very best to give me what I wanted despite my stupidity to understand what he was trying to show/tell me. I wanted red powder and then a design on one with clear powder. Not only did he deliver but they were PERFECT tho in the sun butterflies looked pink. Idc they were cute. I come here for my hands. And I'll keep coming just because of him! Also the picture he took of my nails was much much better. read more

On time for appointment. I got a pedi and nails. I had them done at the same time. Which I love. My issue is 2 of my acrylic nails were not straight. They also were not put on correctly. More than half of the nails were not glued all the way on. The color lasted 4 wks on the pedi. Which was great! Everyone was very nice. If the nails didn't have issues I would totally give this place a 5. read more

Ive been wearing acrylics for a very long time. With that said, I have to take them off and get a fresh pair once every 2-3 months. I was short on time and decided to visit this place because of the convenience. Now, I know taking off acrylics hurts. But the lady with the glasses in there hurt me. She hurt me so bad, my fingers are still sore 3 days later. And she would get agitated at me due to her rough hands when I would express my pain to her. She also made me bleed, and didnt trim the nails or add a clear coat on top, which many nail salons do for weaker nails. Not only that, but When I asked about prices for nails, out of sheer curiosity, she would mumbled under her breath in a different language. You dont need to understand what is being said to know that its about you. The way she said her words were crystal clear. If your going to be agitated at people and be rough with their hands, dont be a nail technician. Especially when your clients are being polite to you. I know theres another way to take off nails using soak off products. If your willing to cause this much pain and ignore the other option, just to get another customer in, thats ridiculous. read more

Pretty Nails - My nails have never looked like this after having acrylics taken off - Nail Salons Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

I love this salon! I just moved to California and I was short on time today, so I chose the place closest to me. Luckily this place was the one! T helped me and she was amazing! We talked and laughed the entire time, It was so welcoming. I normally don't do designs but this time I wanted something different. She gave me suggestions and I LOVE the result. This is now my regular salon. Thank you so much! read more

If I had the option to give this place negative stars I would do that in a heartbeat. I can't believe how poorly they treated me. I called yesterday to make an appointment at 1:30 and they said to come in at 2 PM. And I asked for a full new set of acrylics gel polish they quoted me $40. Then today at 1:30 they called me to tell me they were running late and that I should come in at 3 PM instead, so I agreed. As soon as I got there I was not greeted at the door I had to let them know that I had an appointment. They finally sent me down 15 minutes after. I told the lady exactly what I wanted. It was my first time there at that salon. So they didn't know me or know what I liked. However; I showed them a picture of the shape and length even though the nails I had one already were exactly what I wanted. I don't change shape, length or color ever. So when I told her what so wanted she was very pushy and insulted me saying "oh you should get coffin nails" I said no thank you, i like square. Then she said "but square is boring, coffin is way better". I said well I don't want to coffin. I enjoy square. She again said "why would you want that shape" I'm now in my head thinking wow why is she being insulting and rude? She started to file my nails and I told her..I made an appt for new full set and she immediately started talking about me to someone else, they both look at me up and down. I felt immediately uncomfortable. She then said "it's $10 more to take them off". I said I've never been charged to take my nails off before and she said well you've obviously haven't been to good salons then. I'm not thinking wow, not only is she insulting me but she's putting down other salons.. weird. I said okay well I would have expected you to tell me over the phone that it was going to be $10 more knowing I was coming in for a new set and not a fill. Even asked me if i wanted a fill and i said no i wanted new set and still quoted me $40. So the lied to me. At this point, I had just a little hope she was going to do a good job....yeah well i was wrong. The whole time she's telling me how i need to do the coffin shape still and i should do shorter nails than what i asked for. Now she's cutting them and tells me that some nails are going to be short and some are going to be long and i said no i want them all to be the same length and she was very argumentative with me. I was getting irritated because I kept my cool and stayed very calm but she was trying to change my mind and that's not ok. Especially when I've told her 6 to 7 times I don't want what she's telling me to get. Finally she's done cutting them. I get a work call so I'm paying attention to that, by the time I'm off the phone I look down and she decided to literally cut them like coffin and cut them shorter than i originally asked for!! I cannot believe it! I pulled my hand away from her and she was gripping my finger to tight that my knuckle cracked!!! I said ouch and she said well I'm doing your nails. At this point I'm really frustrated and disappointed how I have been treated. I told her, "i told you i wanted square 7 times and you still made them coffin. I asked for a certain length and you cut them down to what YOU wanted. I cannot believe you took it upon yourself to do whatever YOU wanted to do, and completely ignored the customer." She was very argumentative with me and i told her i want her to make them how I asked and she refused; then all of a sudden the lady sitting next to her, decided to shout "IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THEM, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY SALON." I said excuse me? This is how you treat paying customers who haven't done anything but asked for a simple nail request she said yes you need to leave now. I got up and stayed calm and said I hope you guys find help figuring out how to treat customers. This is the worst customer service I've ever dealt with. There's no wonder there was ZERO customers in the salon. So sad and pathetic. So I ended up leaving with one hand with acrylic and the other nothing on it. I'm shocked that people treat people like this for no reason. It's disgusting how I was treated and I really hope this helps everyone thinking of going to this salon to never go because they are HORRIBLY RUDE human beans that don't deserve good people or business. Shame on them! read more

I had a lovely experience at this salon with the #3 pedicure and a set of acrylics. I am so impressed with the service given by Alex and Van. They are so welcoming and match your vibe. They're sweet and conversational if you'd like to engage in a genuine chat. Or are able to give you the peace and quiet you may desire while you get your nails done. I love the art Alex did on my manicure and the pedicure was incredibly relaxing and my toes came out looking amaaazing. They're efficient as a team and the salon is so clean! Highly recommend :) read more

I'm pretty happy with this place. Very friendly and clean. I was accommodated last time and the lady did good blue nails. This time I went with Eddie very gentle and friendly I gave him a style I was interested in he did a great job. I'm super excited and happy about my nails. I also got a simple toe nail change the lady was very nice and did over and beyond job. I was going from blue to a light gray she was very concerned with the dark blue showing. She did a excellent job of getting all the blue off. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nail place. No burns my nails are not pounding from all the drilling. read more

All I needed was my dip nails removed and a simple basic manicure without new polish. I walked out with a bleeding thumb (a little blood, but there shouldn't be any skin opened by them). They removed my dip powder by peeling it off which hurt bad (cuz duh, they're literally peeling my nail off and I could it). On my my last nail, when they peeled it off, it got stuck on a hang nail and they kept pushing that fake nail they were using as a tool into my nail. Guess what? It was bleeding. Its evening now and it hurts even more, its throbbing. I should have gone to my salon where they care about business, where they gently file my nails instead of peeling things off. I've gotten more smiles and better customer service from Walmart employees. read more

Pretty Nails - Where its been bleeding and throbbing with pain. - Nail Salons Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

Don't go here unless you want ugly nails. They charge you $55 bucks for shit that is worth about $15 to $20 First off I want to say I only went to this shop because others aren't open but I wish I would have just been more patient for my regular shop to open. I had asked the man if he could do sparkly ombré and he said yes, I said how much would that be? He said I'll tell you once I cut the length, I said I'd like them long like the picture he said $55 so I'm thinking okay that's cool... so he starts to put on stiletto tips and I said can you put the regular tips on because I don't like them they are skinny, he goes but it will look good. I said no thank you I would rather have the regular tips and you shape it up. He takes them off and I have to show him why I need the regular tips and showed him my nails from the other salon. So I'm waiting for him to shape and cut the length and the nails are still short.. even though I asked him about the length and he said that long was $55. Well...my nails aren't long at all. He put the sparkles on and I tell him it's covered by the acrylic he put on, he said don't worry I put the clear coat on it will look different. Well... it didn't look different at all. I wasn't happy with the nails but they make you feel like your being too picky but you're paying for a service and you want to like what they give you. Secondly the Price list says $40+ what made my nails go up 15$?? I didn't get length, I've been getting my nails done the same shape and length for years and have never been charged $55 for such low quality nails in my life. I have no issues spending 40$ to $100 on nails as long as the price matches the quality. Don't go here. Just save your money and go somewhere you know will give you the results you want and not overcharge you for it. read more

Tian did an amazing job on my nails. She talked me through the entire process, answering all my questions and making a great recommendation for a starter color (it was my first time getting acrylics). My nails complement everything I wear! Definitely looking forward to going back to try bolder colors. Tian's sister, Alex, also does outstanding work and has been doing my sister's nails for years. Very professional & meticulous ladies! read more

Don't think I'll go back and here is why. Although the staff was kind and the service was good I'm in pain! The nails itself are good but I've had better and for less $$ too! My cuticle is cut and the nail tech drilled under my acrylics and made me bleed, my finger tips now hurt when I apply any pressure. I am disappointed in this because I had to go to work afterwards and this made it hard when I couldn't put any pressure on to my fingers! They hurt really bad I'm actually concerned for my natural nail. UPDATE! My nail also broke after three days and they did not want to fix it for free. I tried to call but they where closed and the next day I went in and they said I should have called read more

It had been a while since I visited this place. When I came in the place looked very different, very pretty. Kim did my pedicure and TN did my gel manicure. Both amazing! I've continued visiting this place and bringing my daughter and having the same people work on us. I've always loved getting pedicures. Kim does my pedicure and I'm telling you even her energy is beautiful. Polish is always perfect and it lasts until you start to see growth. No chips, no peeling, and no polish all over the place. TN does my gel manicure and it is always flawless and lasts forever. I really like these two ladies and feel super comfortable there. As long as they work there, I'll continue to be a very happy customer. read more

Will always go here! Alex is my favorite but the other ladies are great too. They always are very conscious of how you are feeling and make sure you like what you get. It's easy to rack up a lot of add ons which makes it pricy sometimes but always worth it. read more

Wow. Just wow. I've had my nails done here a few times and I'm usually really happy when I leave. I thought I had finally found MY manicurist. Then today happened. When I came in my usual guy (Ken) wasn't there, just a woman and a man sitting all the way in the back, so I gave in and went with the woman who was available. I was the only customer. Ken came in the door and sat down in the waiting area. I could tell that the woman doing my nails wasn't very competent at pink & whites but I wasn't about to ask her to stop so I could have Ken do it. I kept telling myself that maybe those imperfections would get fixed later... In comes customer number 2 (C2). She walked in stating that she had called ahead of time and had been told she could come in at 6:30. Ken sits unbothered in the waiting area for quite some time before getting up, walking around and eventually walking up to C2 and casually telling her that she can come back another time because he is going home! Fast forward a little passed C2 explaining what was happening to someone on the phone. Ken starts cutting his OWN nails at his station. Once finished he comes to tell C2 that if she wants she can wait for the woman to finish my nails and she can take care of her at which point C2 tells him (fantastically) that he's rude. After Ken left the woman doing my nails cried as she told us just how mean he is to her, too; including him telling her she should sell her body for money. She was shaking so much the rest of my manicure that I have nicks and cuts on every finger. So while this is by far the worst manicure I've ever had, the real reason I will NEVER go back to this place again is Ken. Shame. I had some pretty nails for a while. Get it? Too soon? Tl;dr inconsistent nails, worst customer service I've ever witnessed. read more

Went for a pedicure. I unfortunately got "the mom". She's rude, berating and gives a shitty pedicure.

Came in today because a friend referred me. I wanted dip powder so the woman ripped off my old powder and totally ripped my nail. Said she had to do it that way because I picked a dark color before and said it was "no big deal" that she ripped my nail. I decided to leave before getting the service and she still made me pay $10 for the removal. Will not be back. read more

I came in here as a walk-in to get mine and my 6 yr old's toes painted. They immediately greeted us and showed us where to sit. They were all extremely nice and were chatting happily with my kids. They did a great job, our toes look great! We took one step out the door and my 6 yr old messed up one of his toes. We walked back in and they gladly touched it up and made sure we got out the door without ruining our toes again. I was very impressed with this place and will be going back! read more

We have been shopping around for a great nail salon to make our regular spot. After going to three different places, we were recommended to this place. It was an amazing experience and this will be our regular spot! Alex and T are great! The customer service is good and the acrylic nail work is better than any other place I've been to. They are very thorough and efficient. I highly recommend this nail salon. They do well with simple full sets and also do designs well. Thanks ladies for a great experience! read more

Tina and Aiden did our (my bff and I's) nails today. We were walk ins. They took us in with a welcoming smile. We were both getting fills. She got a holographic gel and I just got my acrylic filled as my french tips are done with white tips underneath the acrylic. Her gel is even and beautiful. Our nails are shaped to perfection. They took their time. They trimmed our cuticles. The attention to detail was great. We will be back. read more

So I took my daughter and her young friend here to get acrylic nails. Yes I know they are young. They have been begging for this for awhile so I finally gave in. The ladies said it would be no problem at all. Well first off one lady was extremely rude to my daughters friend. Wouldn't reply to questions and just kept staring at her, blinking and rolling her eyes. Yes she spoke English just fine when she wanted to. After they were finished both girls nails with very crooked and polish poorly. I mentioned it to her and she said they move too much and their nails are too small. Well if it was an issue in the first place you could have let me know. Will not be returning read more

I'm never going back here in my life. If I could give 0 stars I would, lol. I went specifically for their metallic colors, got my nails the length I usually do- long. Broke one, that wasn't placed right (and when she did it I told her it wasn't on all the way). But she immediately dismissed that and said it was okay. So I was like okay, I knew it wasn't on right. One nail, no big deal. Then within a day of fixing it, two more snap in half. Even though I never have issues with long nails, I thought maybe it was just the size. I really loved the color, so I decided to shorten them. And first of all, that sucks. I feel short nails make my hands look stubby. But I did it anyways, lol. Annnnnd a couple days later, guess what?! Two broke in half. I'm not even going to go back to fix them, it's not worth the time I'm investing lol. read more

I'm 5 days in with my nails and most are lifting at the nail bed or they weren't even glued and shaped down! Plus I got gel and somehow the polish easily started peeling on a nail. The lady didn't file the sides either and some of the sides are all jagged along with my actual nail not being shaped properly, it's all dented, uneven and bumpy. Not worth the $40 I paid. read more
