This is definitely my new go-to spot!! Nail lounge canceled my appointment last minute (probably double booked) and I could not find a shop that I trust to do my nails. I called Q Nails just in case, and they told me that they could fill me in. Once I walked in, I was SHOCKED. My friends and I had wondered where Alan and Helen went, and it turns out they work here! The shop is small but cozy. I really recommend you booking an appointment beforehand, but they do take walk-in's! They did an amazing job for my gel builder and pedicure. I literally had been looking for Alan this whole time for my pedi and I was kinda glad that Nail Lounge canceled me!! Helen did amazing on my nail art design and I can't wait to come back in a few weeks. I'll definitely be coming here from now! read more

I have been coming to Q Nails for years and today wasn't a good experience. I have horrible thick toe nails and know cutting nails isn't the easiest to do. I was not happy with the length and ask the lady to cut them shorter and was told she couldn't do it because my skin grows on nails. Of all the years getting a pedicure, I have never had this happen to me. Now they are going to charge me an extra charge cause they said it's taking too long to do them the way I normally got them. Very disappointed in all the years that I've become, and I have never experienced this. read more

I'm so sad I chose to come here. It was a very awkward environment. The vibe was very intense and that should've been my first warning. The man that did my pedicure pulled on my legs, even though they didn't go farther and didn't try to tell me what to do with them. The lady was in such a rush , the most anxiety ridden experience. I've had a nail salon. I will never come back here. read more

Just got back from another great session on my nails. I got ombré again and they turned out beautiful. They used an air gun technique and were so friendly! I love how cheerful the staff are. I could sense such positivity from everyone! I just love this place! read more

Was recommended Helen by one of my friends and she is the best!! It is such a joy talking to her and my nails always come out so beautiful. I didn't use to get my nails done often because I was embarrassed about my nail health but ever since trying gel builder, I'm way more confident and loving the growth. The staff is always going above and beyond for customer service. Clean facility, super kind staff, plus complimentary drinks. Highly recommend!!! read more

I like this Salon and my nail Tech Annie. I feel that the salon should allow more time for services as my appointments have been at least 20 minutes late consistently. Please respect the clients time. Specials Mention to Allen who notices me waiting and will bring me something to drink and once a mini fan as it was hot lol! PLEASE fix the waiting time!! read more

Amazing service.. Clean and relaxing..Michael is an expert making sure the ingrown is removed. Thank you!

Called ahead of time for an appointment at 2:15 sat in the chair with my feet in the water for 30 min. The lady was clearly rushing and their basic pedicure is $49. The prices and the service for places are just not the same. read more

Worst experience! When I got there I asked if they were able to do acrylic toe nails they said yes.. well for my surprise they couldn't and I told them that's what I had asked in the front in the ticket when I checked in. Then the girl working on my nails didn't know how to do it so then she proceded to just do French tip which is horrendous all my French tip is uneven some are thick and some are thin!!! Also they started talking in there language as soon as I said that I was not happy with the outcome I paid and left! $80 for uneven nails.. never going back! read more

Expensive but great pedicure. Store in very clean and everything seemed pretty new. Really nice pedicure chairs. Very happy with pedicure and gel polish results. read more

I got a set of dip powder nails and a full service gel pedicure. Total price was 137 dollars. 157 plus tip. The man in charge told me there were no appointments availible at the time I requested so I rearranged my schedule to come earlier. He said they closed earlier that day so there was no other way. I arrived and they got me in right away. I had a full set of acrylics which they ripped off instead of soaking. That should have been a red flag. The provided their service and while at it a woman called and asked for an appointment at this point it was 6 pm the time I originally requested. The man said no problem and gave the woman the appointment. After my service was finishing I pulled out my wallet and moved to get my shoes on. The man rushed over and asked if I was going to pay rudely. Obviously I had my wallet and card out.... A week later my gel pedicure has peeled off due to gel being on the skin and the dip powder manicure has chipped despite all necessary precautions. When attempting to resolve the issue with them directly they refused to offer any solutions and hung up on me twice. What a disappointment! I have come before and never had an issue. Unfortunately this behavior is unacceptable and I will bit be returning. I suggest you don't either. read more

Amazing service! Everyone is very nice!! Very good and nail art and French tips. A variety of colors and styles! read more

Q - Nails - French tip - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Maria, California

The past few times I've been getting my nails done I've always gone to this place. But I think it's time to find another. My last experience, the guy kept turning down what I was asking and I promise it didn't look hard. He just said it's too "new" (it's called jelly) basically just coloring the center and just kinda ombré a bit then when I said I'll just get what I got last time the cat eye tip, he insist I should get the full nail cat eye I really wish they could just work with what I was requesting. They need to upgrade their style as well. When I want a design they just use stickers anyways it's a nice place to just get simple gel nails or like basic color. But if you're looking for something more, find another place this isn't it. read more

As always, friendly and amenable, comforting atmosphere. Enjoyed the new menu, new massage chairs -new interior look- with the same friendly staff. Been returning here for 4 years! read more

There has been at least 4 times lately that I have called way ahead of time to make an appt with Helen. She does a fantastic job! Today I had a 9 appt that I made 2 weeks ago so I could have a new set of nails and a pedi with Helen. I arrived and wasn't really told anything but to sit down finally after 10 min I asked where Helen was and I was told she was on vacation. Now 2 weeks ago they knew darn well that she was not going to be there. The owner is who made the appt and just gave me a poor excuse for not telling me up front. I will not go back unless I speak to Helen personally. This is a poor way to run your business. read more

This was my favorite salon and I had been a regular customer until March, 2024. I went in for a regular manicure on my nails. Within 3 days my thumb nail was discolored and lifting. I went to Urgent Care immediately and was told it was a nail fungus. I was given a prescription and told to follow up with my dermatologist. I followed up and he confirmed the diagnosis and told me to continue on my treatment . It is now August 2024 and my nail is still not completely healed. The dermatologist confirmed that when cuticles are cut it allows bacteria and fungi to enter under your nail. I'm sharing my experience so that what happened to me doesn't happen to another customer. read more

Did they change owners? I feel like the prices went up! Also I made an appointment and I felt like they were annoyed I got here. They were going to charge an extra $7 for a nail strengthening gel but didn't say until I asked "how much more?" I use to love coming here but I think it's time to find a different place :( read more

I have tried multiple salon in my area this is by far my favorite! Linda always takes great care of me and my nails always look amazing!

Why only gel polish? Why so expensive? Why do the nails fall off after one week? Bad vibes in there too...never again... read more

Just an ok experience. Three stars are given because I did not have to wait long, 5-10 minutes max. Price seemed a bit high, $61 for a new acrylic set. A lot higher then what I was expecting. read more

I went in for a dip manicure and was helped right away, the staff was very friendly. She did three coats of just color. Initially I was happy with the service, after a few days the dip had lifted on more than one finger, and chipped on a couple. I went back in to get them fixed, again they were very friendly and fixed them no problem. The gentleman that fixed those that had lifted, sanded them down and used clear to reinforce them. This left them a little bulky compared to the others that hadn't lifted or chipped. I'm not sure if the initial set was too far gone to be able to repair, or what happened. But more than one nail have again lifted and my thumb broke. The pictures are after they had been fixed. read more

I got my nails done on Valentine's Day I thought they were closed but NO! There was only 2 of us. Tami did my nails just how I wanted.

I was about ready to give up on the nail salons in town; between the bizarre interior design choices and dingy cleanliness of everywhere I've gone, things were looking grim. Q-Nails opened up recently, and I finally set aside the time to give it a try. FINALLY, somewhere clean, fresh and welcoming! All of the manicurists were friendly, and I was relieved to have a quality manicure/pedicure that had both attention to detail and a quick finish time. My view (photo attached) was an amusing mix of live concert footage from a BeeGees show, and then a YouTube playlist of (very debatably) the BEST love songs of all time. One sweet woman getting her acrylics done asked the manager if she couple purchase "the DVD of beautiful songs playing!", and while she was out of luck, it was at least much better than the strange Muzak that usually plays in these places. Highly recommend! read more

I have been here many times over the last few years. The last time I went was for my daughter's birthday, we both got mani pedis. A week after I noticed my big toe nail started to detach from the nail bed. I took off the gel polish and noticed black dots under several nails. Since then I have lost both big toe nails and one smaller one. I won't be going back. read more

A new nail shop in town and the service is excellent. A few things I enjoyed. 1) Great massage chairs 2) Lots of staff ready to assist and when they were to busy the asked people to return at a later time so the waiting area wasn't over crowded. 3) The color selection was great! 4) The offered snacks to the kids who were getting pedicures. How sweet is that? 5) Extremely clean I would say this place is quickly becoming popular and calling ahead of time for an appointment would ensure you can get right in. I am a very happy customer and will be back soon. read more
