Though the nails are nice, there are a lot of communication issues. For example, this last time I asked for a mani-pedi and was given only the pedi. By the time I realized they didn't intend to do the mani, I was out of time. They're very nice overall, but better communication/intake process would be great! read more

Have been getting nails done here for past 6 years. Ownership changed yet Tammy is excellent. The only recent issue is that they appear to be downsizing and no longer have nail techs available for new sets or fills only pedicures. Last five times I have gone I have been told to come back 2-3 hours later. Yesterday, a Saturday, which is a busy nail Salon day, I walked in 1 hour after opening. 11:00 am asking for a fill. Pedicure employee called Tammy and handed me the phone due to language barrier. Tammy asked if I could return at 2:00 pm as nobody available for a fill. I said no as had other errands and appts to keep and asked Tammy if anyone would be available now or before. She said no. Sadly, I left. I am compelled to write this review as this has been the 5th time this has happened. Sadly, they do a wonderful job yet losing business as no nail techs available. I was forced to go to another salon read more

I love this place! I love my Tammy!! She can look at a design and bring it to life! I was sad to see a review about how making someone uncomfortable as I've never felt uncomfortable! She has always been so welcoming and she's even bonded with my little 2 hr old who comes with me when I get my nails done! This nail salon has so many different colors to choose from! They have a nice quiet area in the back specifically for pedicures so it makes the experience extra relaxing! They do take walk ins but will tell you if there's a long wait so you can choose to come back at another time if you wish. I love that they are open early and they make themselves familiar with their regular customers like myself! Although there may be language barrier, they make the best of what they can and deliver quality nails, which is truly what I come here for! Thank you Queen Bee Nails! -Jamie read more

This place is prettybgood on my humble opinion. There seemed to be something a bit off on the peicing from whatbi saw, but they do the ultimate job on your nails. I went from a whole bunch of stuff on my toes to clean feet and massaged well too. This place doesn't skimp on the massage that came with the pedicure. My wife had a wonderful manicure and pedicure too. read more

I decided to book a last minute pedicure here the day of since it was near where I live rather than my usual place downtown. I'm SO glad I tried this place out because I know I just found my new pedicure place! Minh did the most amazing job and took his time with my nails and with each section of the pedicure. The exfoliation and massage were very nice and my favorite part was the hot stone massage. It was so relaxing and my nails looked well done afterwards! I recommend this place for anyone whose looking for a business that pays attention and close detail to their services and customers. Ill definitely be back in 3 weeks for my next pedi :) read more

Always satisfied with the service and care. The ladies are always nice and squeeze you in even when you don't have an appointment.

I made a yelp account just for this. I don't think I've ever received worse service than here. I actually went to this salon a couple years ago for my birthday acrylic nails and they turned out fine. However the only service I was looking for today was getting acrylics off, thinking that I would be getting them professionally taken off hoping to save my natural nails. I get seated right away and I tell them that I just need my acrylics taken off and that I'm hoping to get them soaked off since pulling them right off will ruin the natural nails. Previously, getting acrylics soaked off involved a cotton ball with acetone on it allowing the nails to soak for a decent amount of time before drilling them off. However at this location they placed 75% of my hand into two respective bowls filled with acetone. I didn't think much of it but then they started to file the top of my nail with a regular nail file and then would soak them after and this was repeated several times. This stopped when I could tell my nail tech was in a hurry so in a panicked manner she starts to attempt to dig under the acrylic nail with leftover acrylic nails, prying them off no matter the force that was required. This resulted in parts of my natural nails to be ripped off and the bedding to be completely messed up (and my nails throbbing in pain). So my hopes of saving my natural nails were crushed, leaving both me and my nail tech just wanting this experience to be over. After 20 grueling minutes they were all off, and after drilling a bit of my natural nails, someone else walked in hoping to get a pedicure. Keep in mind my nails are still jagged (from the bits that were ripped off) and unfiled/uncut, my nail tech proceeds to stand up, swipe over each unfinished nail ONCE with a nail file then sends me on my way. I am left extremely unsatisfied as I now have to deal with my unfinished nails on my own. Overall, this experience cost me $15, left me with messed up nails and a lesson to just take your acrylics off on your own. Do not waste your money here. read more

Went to this wonderful nail salon. Definitely a diamond here in Davis, with the dedicated pedicure room, smiling faces, and absolute attention to detail. Excellent shaping and style skills, and trish did a great job on my dip manicure. I would definitely recommend. A price point for every person. Updated clean nail spa with great looks. Definitely deserves a visit. Certainly have a repeat customer out of me. read more

Nails by David. Clean salon, weird vibes for sure at first. I walked in, asked for a service, the response was a lot of talking in another language amongst workers.

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

This is my favorite place in all of Davis for nails tbh. On the rare occasion I venture to another Davis salon (and they inevitably mess up my nails), I run straight back here and Queen Bee fixes everything for free, even refusing payment. I can't believe the generosity of the staff. The nail techs here are so, so friendly and very meticulous-- they've stayed after closing just to make sure my nails are done right. I like that the salon is super spacious & has plenty of side-by-side seating if you come in with a friend. The front has 12 (?) stations & the back has their waxing/pedicure stations. I've only been for nails, but I always see people come in here for their mani/pedi deal. I feel like their nail polish is higher quality-- at other places, my acrylics get discolored after a few weeks (red/muddy tones), but never at Queen Bee. I usually just get a solid color & it'll stay the same hue until the next time i get a fill or full set ^__^ Really appreciate the hospitality here! They always remember me and greet me warmly. The staff are very gentle with filing and attentive to any concerns. I will say that most aren't very talkative, but that's ok with me-- I'd rather chill and watch them work rather than make superficial small talk for 1.5 hours LOL. But I guess that's not everyone's cup of tea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I had a beige full set ($35) done by Kevin before my vacation & they haven't chipped at all, even after hiking and swimming for a week! Really happy with their work & will definitely be back. read more

I'm 82 years old, have lived in Davis for over 20 years, and have visited every single nail salon in town since I've been here; I've never had such a distressing, uncomfortable experience as I did at the Queen Bee Nails Spa Salon getting both a manicure and pedicure. Tammy was my nail person, she was rough in administering both manicure and pedicure. She used very little verbal direction, after I had told her I was blind and couldn't really see the colors of the nail polish. She became irritated and aggressive - pushing my feet in and out of the water when I had my eyes closed. When asked to choose a color on the wall, she was also irritated that I couldn't find what I wanted without her assistance. If you're considering this nail salon, it might be fine, if you're considering Tammy, it will most likely be a more than uncomfortable experience. read more

I came in for a fill on a set I had from another salon here in Davis that over charged me for some really badly done nails and Kevin did such a great job! He made my nails so much prettier and cleaner than how I had gotten them 3 weeks ago somewhere else & only charged me $45. If you're a college student wanting to look cute on a budget come here! read more

NOTE: This review is solely for a gel manicure. This is one of my go-to nail salons in Davis. They only charge $25 for a gel manicure! That's crazy!!! They have such a wide range of color options. There's a total of 4 rings and maybe about 50 colors/ring, so that's a total of 200+ options. My manicurist was very friendly and attentive. She cleaned my nails, filed them, and painted it perfectly. She was very focused, made small chat, and overall did a great job. I was very satisfied with the end result of my manicure. They accept walk-ins. I called to check if they had any availabilities for two gel manicures in 10mins, and they accepted us. My friend was seated and served immediately, but I had to wait about 15mins. I would have preferred if they told me earlier that I had to wait, but I was fine with waiting since I came so last minute. If you're going with a friend and plan to hang out over a mani, I would suggest mentioning over the phone that you want to sit next to each other (they seat you according to your manicurist's assigned table). The spa is nice, clean, and spacious. It is located in a huge parking lot, so finding parking is not an issue. read more

I'm having trouble with the new management. Although I was surprised but impressed with expertise by David (so much so that I booked three future appointments with him, each two weeks apart), it was unnerving that he refused to serve me because I showed up 7 minutes late and shrugged me off to another cosmetologist while he served NO ONE! She did a good job but I didn't like that "I'll showing YOU" attitude ... the NEXT time I arrived 5 minutes early and he waived me to a chair saying he'd be with me in 15 minutes. My answer was, "Sure ... I'll wait 15 minutes for you but you can't wait 7 minutes for ME?" Needless to say, I got the "silent treatment" from him. I followed my favorite cosmetologists to Queen Bee when Y2K South Davis closed its doors a decade ago: I see none of them there anymore, the service is insulting and the price for service has doubled! read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Gel Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

The lady who did my nails was gentle and kind, however I am giving three stars because I don't expect to pay for gel and have it chip within 1 1/2 week. I get my nails done in the Sierra foothills and no chips or issues for three weeks. I'll be going somewhere else to find a place that does nails in quality form. I don't want to pay $45 for gel only to have it chip like a regular manicure. I noticed they charge $5 to fix chipped nails, not interested because it shouldn't be happening in the first place! read more

Queen Bee is the perfect name for this Salon! Hands down! (No pun intended!). They say misfortunes may be blessings in disguise. I was in quite the tizzy over losing my long time salon in Davis recently to new owners (as my Yelp friends know :-)). GF emails me to tell me about Queen Bee and how much she is enjoying the whole vibe there. Couldn't make an appointment fast enough. Big, high-ceilings and lots of light from glassed entry way is the first thing I noticed upon walking in for my first appointment. I was greeted promptly and taken thru that large room into a another room where all the pedicure spas were located! Wow...nice. I have never been in a salon that separates the nail/pedicure functions. I instantly liked that feature. The pedicure portion was in a dimly lit area which immediately put me in a very relaxed mood. Elegant, contemporary lighting hung above each worker's station where he/she could see every detail of your feet. Yet the person having the pedicure was in relative darkness with no bright light shining in faces. The owner, who brought me to the pedicure room, lined the spa with plastic (oh...I am really liking this) and turned on the water. Cleanliness to the tee! He offered me a cup of hot tea (wow) and I accepted. Why not...I am really in the mood now:). As I am soaking my tootsies in the nice, hot water, he returns with a real cup (not plastic nor styrofoam) of water and tea bag. Impressed!!! The next thing my senses noticed was the incredible, pleasant smell of the room. Every breath I took in was like aromatherapy plus. I am serious. They had large jars of different types/colors of scrubs for your feet/legs. Very pretty too look at and even better...gave the room its wonderful fragrance. I am still pinching myself...is this real? My lovely person, Nancy, came and started my pedicure with a wonderful scrub to both legs and feet. Heaven! She proceeded to give me the best pedicure I have ever had. I almost forgot about the hot stone massage ....OMG! All in all...PERFECT! Before my pedicure began, I had been given a laminated list of pedicure types ranging from the "Queen Bee" at $25 to more luxurious choices. What a nice option to have for different moods. I love that! Also...a huge feature was free WiFi!!! Never had that at previous Salon. Cool! So this place...my new home for everything hands/toes...Rocks!!! And NANCY is simply the best. I highly recommend Queen Bee and Nancy for all your nail needs! Thank you, Nancy! This was certainly a blessing! read more

I've been coming to this nail salon since my freshman year of college and honestly I can't trust any other nail place than here. The place is huge - there's 2 sections one for nails and the other for pedicures. I came back after taking a break of acrylics to get a full set done and Lisa, my nail technician did her best set on me yet. They are literally the smoothest and thinest acrylics I have ever had. They feel so light and comfy I am in love! The only reason why I'm giving it a four star is because one time they cut me, and I got an infection. My finger was oozing out pus so I had to deal with that for a while. I told my lady to be gentle with my nails today and they turned out perfect so although that happened, I'll still be coming back... Honestly queen bee is the only place that can give you the perfect coffin shape that you see on Instagram or Pinterest. This place is hands down the best nail place in Davis!!! read more

amazing! the gentleman that did my full set today really went off. did everything that i asked for with the utmost care i love this salon.

If I could give no stars I would. I went in for a pedicure. My nails are very curved and I have a lot of issues with ingrown nails. She did exactly what you're NOT supposed to do and cut them way too short and rounded the edges, not to mention cutting my skin (I kid you not) half a dozen times. I honestly don't know why I didn't make her stop and walk out but I'm one of those people who says it's fine and goes and cries in my car. Anyway.. not at all surprisingly NOW I HAVE AN INFECTION IN MY TOE! there's nothing stopping it now so my nail is growing into my skin. It's so painful. When my husband called (without my permission but he is upset) the person on the phone said I would need to come in and they would send a picture to their manager. Yeah ok and then what? You can blame me toe nails? Anyone working in a nail salon should know how to work on nails prone to being ingrown. It's pretty basic. And also probably not cut peoples feet REPEATEDLY. Now I'll have to go into my swollen and tender skin and dig the nail out once it's long enough. DON'T GO HERE!!!! read more

Excellent service, optimal hygiene, multi services, expensive but worth it. Have been a Queen Bee customer for over 15 years.

Excellent products! That are Fairly priced & work well. I just got my "Mystery bag" , bath salts,chapstick and bath bombs. I have had 3 major back operations and one neck surgery (that's a failed surgery and needs to be fixed) . My neck operation was 4/27/20 and I have been taking pain meds and muscle relaxers I even recently got an RX for THC but unfortunately it really make me cloudy so it's not for me. So the bath salts and the Aloe (pain cream) from Queen Bee is absolutely refreshing and relaxing, I feel so much better and that's just from one use . You have a life long customer now thank you for making a great product that's not so expensive people can't afford it. When I try the other products I will review them hair mask and charcoal face mask . Thank you read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Nails done by Kevin! - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

In the Fall of last year, someone had told me about this place. Rumor was that their nails "never came off." I was fed up with my nails breaking, so I took a chance on this place. Needless to say, it is true that their nails never come off. Well, at least none of mine have ever since going to this place repeatedly. I stopped coming here, however, as I began to notice that my hands were just being pushed around and treated with a lack of caring by certain technicians(one of the older ladies). They didn't seem to care about the state of my nails. Like they were too much of in a rush. I would feel worse leaving than when I entered. read more

This is a wonderful experience every time I enter this place. I usually make an appointment, but walk ins are good as well. With pedicures it is not only the massage that you get on your back from the chair, but the massage, soak, and hot towel treatment. Every minute is amazing. My wife's manicure looks amazing as well. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. The amount of disappointment and anger I feel having gone here is ridiculous. I want to emphasis that I'm not someone who tries to stir up drama. I only ask that my nails that I'm paying for with my hard earned cash be worth it. I showed my technician a picture of how I always get my nails done, a simple coffin/ballet shape with a gel color. Nothing too fancy, nothing new. My pinkies were shaped nicely but when she moved onto my index finger she didn't ask for any input on whether I liked the shape or not and kept filing furiously. When she was done I realized they were super crooked and I asked her to fix them but she continued to file them more instead of applying acrylic to fix them... I've been getting my nails done for years in both SF and in Sacramento. It's usually an average of $30-35 depending on the place for a full set of acrylics with gel. I was getting a fill. That's usually $15-17 dollars for a gel fill, $20 max. I never ask the prices after all these years because I've never been SCAMMED like I have been here. She charged me $31 for a FILL. Are you kidding me? Honey you didn't even do close to a good job. I think she purposely filed underneath my nails to make them snap off too... I couldn't even believe it, I was so confused when she took the electric filer underneath my nails and I saw her making lines underneath. I realized what they were for when my pinky finger, my least used finger of all time snapped off randomly when I was drinking coffee. I wasn't even smacking my hand around in my purse. My eyes could not roll any harder. Mind you my nails are fully grown underneath the acrylics so there's plenty of support under. The cherry on top of the experience was having my debit card information stolen. I hadn't used the specific card I used to pay for my nails here in about a month but what do you know? Literally one day after I pay for my nails here, I'm charged by some sketchy telemundo place for $187. Don't come this place, please. Just. Swerve. read more

Not the best place. First time I went there, shaping and filing down was horrible. Second time I went, she didn't file it down to my cuticles until i kept looking at them then she refiled it. i compared both my hands afterwards and one was longer than the other by a lot... read more
