Went in to get a pedi cure. Already the most expensive place ($60 for gel pedi) when paying I was paying a courtesy 10% tip as I wasn't impressed with their service. At checkout I request a receipt and she tipped herself more. Walked out paying $71.80 with card fee. BEWARE ask for receipt or just simply look somewhere else where people don't rob you! read more

Staff was really nice. They got me in right away and did exactly what I asked for. I really like how they had their nail polish displayed.

I tried to give this place a chance multiple times, but never again (will always drive to Salinas). Their tools for pedicures are unsanitary and they reuse the foot scrubbers pumice pads. I had to tell the lady the scrubbers were used and she needed to use new ones. I also tried speaking to the owner and she was not there. This is a major concern due to spread of fungus and infections. I expressed my concerns and that I was going to file a complaint with the California Board of Cosmetology and local Health Department. The lady kept saying that the next time "I" go, they will use everything new. I told her "no" this needs to applied to every costumer, not just me. Please be cautious next time you are getting a pedicure service here. read more

I went to have a fill a week and a half ago one of them was lifting so I went back one last filled and the original lady was going to put the polish I did not know the color and she did not even help she tried convincing me to do another fill she said she would give me a discount I said how much she said $50 I told her that's what paid originally like really? I had to find my color while they talked about me in their language I will never go back there ever again I even left her a big tip originally to be treated this way. DON'T GO THERE read more

To start off with these prices are ridiculous. I came to try this new nail salon and they charge 60+ for pedicure with gel. I got my toes done and once I saw the prices to the manicures I told them I didn't want my nails done anymore they all decided to laugh and talk about me. Another thing was there was a worker flossing her teeth right across from me and spitting her food out that was gross. Don't recommend. read more

I've tried so many times to give this place a chance but always leave disappointed, with both pedicures and manicures! This past time I went on a Saturday morning and got a gel manicure, by Monday morning my nails had already chipped. For $45, plus charge for using a debit card, and asking for cash tip, a gel manicure should last more than 2 days. I sadly won't be coming back and I tried multiple times to give this place the benefit of the doubt! read more

I went in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. They were really pushy about me getting gel on my toes and looked upset when I insisted no. I asked for plain red and the color was fine. However, they only painted the middle portion of the nails and not the sides. I didn't realize it until they were "done." I was honestly so annoyed at that point that I didn't say anything and took the L. When I went to go pay, they asked if I had cash. I stated I did not and she advised they would be applying a 3% processing charge for using my cc. I said it was fine. She stated the amount but when I signed the receipt, I noticed she had applied the fee to the total with their tip included. They got 2 stars and not 1 because I liked the color. read more

I got my nails done 2 days ago only because I didn't want to go to Salinas and big MISTAKE! I asked for an overlay, I had to go back once already because she didn't put a thick clear coat and it felt gritty and now this, the powder is separated from my nail. How do I even go back and tell them when it's every nail that shouldn't be doing this and they're expensive $50 for an overlay when all other places charge $40 such a horrible job it's disappointing and now I gotta wait till they grow out.. save your money go else where at least for overlays read more

It was my 1st time there. I will go again. My husband and I had pedicures. I also had a manicure done. Cost was reasonable. The best part is that it's right around the corner from where we live read more

horrible service. i asked for french tips and the woman doing my nails showed me the first nail she did and i wanted it a bit different and she grabbed my hand forcefully and grabbed her towel and wiped it off. she had no right to do it so hard and was COMPLETELY unprofessional. i will never return there read more

First off if I could give zero stars I would... I called and made an appointment for a soak off and showed up for them to rip my nails off damaging the nail beds, making me bleed, and cracking my nails! All for $25 that I could've done at Home!! If you're looking to get a "soak off" don't come here. read more

Well, let me start off by saying I was pleasantly surprised !! They were able to take me in as a walk in even though they were very close to closing time. I am very hard on my nails on a daily basis, and these nails have taken a beating and still look fabulous!!! I will definitely be returning for subsequent fills. I did a fill and 1 repair with gel polish and it was 40.00 with out tip. Excited to try their pedicures next !! This photo was taken after a weeks worth of remolding and house painting, no chips, cracks or lifting to be found read more

I asked for an appointment for 4 PM about 30 minutes before and they accepted my request. I was directed to my chair right when I got there for a pedicure done by Jennifer. I appreciate her and Kuty, who was in charge of my manicure, and Kuty did my nails at the same time as my pedicure. Both ladies did a phenomenal job at making sure everything they did was done correctly. Their patience with my requests (and stubborn ingrown nail) is more than enough to get me going back again soon read more

The lady fixed a broken nail but was really rude. She made me feel very uncomfortable. I do not recommend this place.

I've gone to pro darling Four or five times. All were slightly okay but this time was the worst. I went in and asked for ombre and they charged me $10 extra for the styling of the nail and five dollars because they said the prices were old. When I told her what I wanted she said NO and did MY nails the way she wanted!!! When I asked her if she could shave the side of my nail because it was crooked she spent two seconds filing it and it ended up still being crooked. When I asked her to do just a little bit more she said NO that's fine. I'm never picky about my nails but I cannot believe how rude the nail stylist was and that she didn't give me the nails that I had asked for. I am definitely going elsewhere for my future services. read more

Went in two weeks ago with my sister and the nails are bad! Please spare your time and your money and go elsewhere. I will not be returning there again! The white ones were done by chair 1 and yes they are supposed to be white! the purple were done by chair 3. They used to do really good work but this just shows they are not doing the nails properly anymore. read more

Update 8/22/20 Was excited to visit my favorite nail salon when I found out they were open and doing nails safely outside. Called to make an appointment for 3pm. Never have I ever had to wait. But I waited a full hour and a half before I was sat. Right when I sat down I asked for almond shape and the tech looked confused. If you see the most recent clear pink picture you can tell each nail was a different shape. Mind you i went with them shaped the way I like them. I legit said same shape. Told them before they were painted they were crooked. I don't think she understood. The more she tried to fix them the shorter they got. She also didn't clean up or trim cuticle area. Just a file of the nail. Don't know if this was a service they can't provide right now due to Covid. So when I went to pay she told me $30 yet on the board I've looked at a million times it said $25. And with no clean up or hand massage. Did I just get sucked in to paying more for less?? I was with a friend who noticed I was upset about my new, misshapen, short nails! Kim did tell my tech to fix them but fixing them meant SHORTER NAILS! So I passed paid my over charged nails and left. I'll wait until Annie comes back to return. Hopefully she isn't gone for long. The new team wasn't so great. Update: Still loving this place. They are busy so as long as you call ahead they will accommodate you!! I have added a new photo for some reason I always forget to upload them after. All photos are gel manicuresI LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I've been searching from King City to Salinas!! They do have a unconventional way of appointments by calling and leaving your number and calling you back to come in BUT if I call a day or two ahead of time I always go straight in to a chair rather than having a appointment and waiting. There so pretty I love them!! I'm definitely going back! read more

The following day from getting my gel nails done and pedicure, my gel nail polish chipped. The quality wasn't the best. While getting my nails and pedicure done, the nail stylist wasn't gentle. She was rough while removing the pervious gel nails. I felt it was more of quantity than quality customer service. read more

I live in San Francisco now for college, and even after going to many nail places over there it doesn't compare to the services done here! Every time I come back home I get a mani & pedi. I usually call about 3hrs before and every time they ask to jot my # down. I don't mind because I understand it is very popular and busy, especially since I didn't make an appointment. They usually call me back 1-2hrs later which is reasonable. When I arrive they are always so nice and welcoming! I get a gel manicure and the #2 deluxe pedicure which is totally worth the price!! For the people saying they don't speak English: 1st of all that is rude. It has nothing to do w/ their service on how they do nails. FYI: They DO speak&understand English. Just because they are not fluent does not make their business any less. I've also heard them speak a little bit of Spanish, so it's nice to see that they try their best to give good service to ALL their customers. If you are person who refuses to make appointments, call ahead, or wait 30minutes just don't come. This place is popular and it WILL be busy. Don't be complaining because it doesn't cater to your impossible time standards. Overall, I really love going to this place. I feel relaxed during my stay and I am always happy with the end results. Highly recommend!! read more

Always a wait and they don't speak English so when u request a design or custom polish they agree but it's hard to know if it's going to come out right. Also they do not inform you of all the additional charges. At the end they just punch all this numbers and grand total $89.00, I don't mind paying as long as it last and now would pay to get regular polish. They change your nail tech for each service ex: manis, polish, design, you practically have the whole team working on you. Water and towels very hot be cation! read more

I went in pretty early and had a good experience until the moment she put the top coat on to reveal my nails. I asked for a glitter ombré and she did just that but she covered half the glitter she put down with a pink acrylic. The nails are nice I was just expecting more glitter cause my nails just look fogged up if that makes sense. Fair prices but not sure if I'll go back when I need a fill. read more

First time here and AMAZING customer service!! Very polite and attentive. As soon as my friend and I walked into the place we were greeted. We had called earlier as we had seen this place gets busy so we made an appointment. They took us right on time, offered us water. My nail tech asked lots of questions about how I wanted my nails which I loved because that way I know I'm getting what I want. He was a tiny bit rough handling my cuticles but such a nice person! Did an GREAT job on my pink ombré set, very happy and would definitely go back & recommend!! The staff there were all so friendly! read more

Not a very clean place. Tools are being used on multiple clients before being cleaned, if at all. If you go on a busy day they say to write your number down and they'll call you and then never end up calling. If you try to get an appointment more than 1-2 days ahead they say they don't take appointments that far in advance and you should call a day ahead but when you call a day ahead they say we might be full, to walk in and ask or try again tomorrow. Friendly in person but not over the phone. Poor organization and hygiene. The nails are decent but a little too thick depending on who you see. If you don't mind the drive to Salinas there's a little nail shop next to great clips in the Lucky's Shopping Center. They are a smaller salon like this one with similar pricing except every time I go, They bring out fresh tools and disposable supplies to use which I really appreciate. read more

This place use to be my favorite place to get my nails done. I used to come here every 2 weeks for a pedicure and a fill or a full set usually paying a good amount of money. I never really liked appointments, because I like to walk in and be seated or if I have to wait 15 20 or even 30 mins I'd gladly do so. I'm giving this place a 2 star because (it could've been lower but) they do a really good job but it's been getting more and more busier that they want to call you when THEY are ready.. I'm a barber, so I know what it is to be in their position as it is to be in a clients position but in this industry I dont feel like the stylist or person doing the service should call you to come in. If you reserved your appointment it is ok but if you just want a simple gel polish, it shouldn't necessarily need an appointment like a full set of acrylic nails. I've been here trying to get my nails done on 3 separate occasions but it's always been the same "I'll call you when I'm ready." We all have a life and not all of us will be ready when you are. So if theirs someone willing to pay top dollar for their nails or whatever service it may be, it isn't a wise idea to turn them away. If their willing to wait instead of wait for your call take them instead... After my third attempt trying to get my nails done I will never return. read more
