Friendly accommodating staff. There is definitely a drop off between nail techs. I went with my friend and her daughter for Mani-pedi's and other services. As a very traditional male I just wanted the basic soak, trim and cuticle service. They provided it to a T! However, my friend who went for the full service didn't get the same cuticle treatment as I. Paid more and got less....not cool. read more

Pro: Sandy did an amazing job with my mani and pedi. Very detailed. Cons: Another lady waxed my eyebrows and took half off them off. DO NOT GET A WAX HERE! My brows and eye lids are still sticky after a thorough cleaning at home. read more

I literally HATE every nail shop in Davis but Queen Bee completely exceeds my expectations! I came near closing time, they were still pretty busy but gladly did my nails anyway. The shop is huge! There are two main rooms, one for pedicures and one for manicures. I came in for a fill and reshape with regular nail polish that I brought in myself. The quality of their work is amazing, my nail shape and polish turned out flawless. And the best part, they had the cheapest prices out of all the nail shops I've been to in Davis! If I ever need my nails done in Davis I'm heading straight to Queen Bee. read more

After hearing my friend raving about this nail spot in Davis, as an acrylic/pedicure maniac, I made my appointment the next day. I called in for an appointment, and was told I could come in that same morning. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly ladies who also offered us water. The place seems clean and spacious; they have an entire back room for pedicures. I went in for a full-set regular acrylic while my friend got the gel acrylic. I was really impressed with the detail and time put into my service. Lisa, the person who did my nails did an amazing job. She created the perfect shape (coffin nails) from the picture I'd shown her. She was very friendly, and tended to your needs. My acrylics came out perfect, it was not too thick as some nail shops in Davis would do, which is best in my opinion. I also scratched the paint twice before it filling drying and she happily helped fixed it before I walked out. The only down side for my experience was that she had drilled out too much of my skin around the nail bed, and it was a little painful too. But other than that, this is THE spot for nail shop in Davis (I think most are mediocre in comparison). My friend was worked on by Sandy, and she too had a good experience. THE BEST PART - the price. $25 for full set acrylics and $35 for gel. Go gid your nails did gurl~ read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Acrylics by Lisa! - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

I'm pretty picky when it comes to my nails, but Queen Bee never disappoints me. This is a long overdue review because I've been coming here for so long. This place is huge, really nice and really clean. I've been told to come in the morning so I'd recommend coming earlier in the day because they get pretty packed after 4. So if this is the case, expect to wait a bit. I always come in for full sets, fills, and sometimes gel manicures and am always treated so well by everyone. I've gotten my gel manicures done by Kevin, Holly, and Linda and they're all so great. No matter who does my nails, they do a great job. Lisa usually takes care of my acrylics and I absolutely love her! She's so attentive to detail and always perfectly shapes my nails. Although this place gets really busy, she still manages to make my nails slay despite the rush that she's in. Gel manicures are $30, full sets are $35, and fills are $20-30 depending on what you get. I'm from SoCal, so I'm not gonna lie this place is a bit pricey for me, but in Davis this is a pretty good deal for the quality that you get. I'm not going anywhere else! read more

So happy to have found this place!! I called to seewhen they closed on sunday and it turned out it was just closing time, Lisa told me she could see me anyways and she wi uld wait for me to get there, so nice! I showed her a picture of what I wanted (ombre nude into clear) and she helped me find the exact shade of the picture, she made it look perfect! I was impressed that even though I was her last customer, she still took the extra care and time to do a good job. They have stamp cards too, you accrue 10 stamps and get 10 dollars off :) read more

Go see Lisa! Queen Bee just opened last month and the shop is really nice and clean. There are so many color choices for getting gel manicures, and a lot of comfy massage chairs for getting pedicures. The place has a good atmosphere and they offer beverages (water, coffee, or tea) while you get your nails done. Also, it's in the Goodwill shopping center so there's plenty of parking. It's much more convenient that circling downtown trying to find a parking space. I definitely recommend this place. Again, go see Lisa. She's awesome!! read more

First time visiting Queen Bee. I got a Mani/Pedi from Lisa's husband. I didn't catch his name but he was amazing!! One of the best pedi's I've ever had and my nails look great! The whole place was pristine and the vibe was good. I'll definitely be back. Thanks again! read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Fabulous Gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

My roommate and I came here based on yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. We walked in and were seated immediately. Although there wasn't a lot of people, we were there for almost 3 hours lol. There were three people working on our nails simultaneously because people would walk in and they would get immediately seated as well. This is why I docked them down a star. I'm going to try to book an appointment and see if that makes any difference. Besides that, I LOVED my nails. I got a full set of acrylic nails with regular polish for $25. They paid close attention to my nails and made sure they were the right shape/even polish. I will be coming back with an appointment and probably to get a pedi too. :) their pedi chairs are in a separate room in the salon which I thought was cool and probably relaxing! You also get a punch card and once you go 10x, you get $10 off! read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - Full set acrylic w/ regular polish. One of the best I've had! - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

Today was my first visit to Queen Bee salon, having been a long time loyal client of another salon. Don't let the large open room of stations throw you off. Step into the pedicure area of the salon and enjoy a quiet relaxing spa experience. The salon is extremely tidy and clean, while the staff is polite and extremely attentive to fine details of quality and provide a peaceful relaxing experience. Lisa was absolutely delightful and attended to all her clients needs while making me feel quite pampered. My dip nails done in a lovely Summer coral look like glass and are quite natural. I will definitely be moving my business to Lisa and Queen Bee. PS They are competitive with my previous salon... read more

My first mani-pedi since the pandemic began, and I chose Queen Bee because of its cleanliness, professionalism and attention to safety of its clients and staff. The salon requires a mask, hands cleansed with an antiseptic, appropriate distancing, and separation of client and staff by a plexiglass shield both in the foot spa and at manicure tables. Even upon departure, I was provided a hand cleanser, and the door was opened for me as I exited. I have enjoyed excellent service from Holly, Linda and Lisa and will continue to go to Queen Bee which provides hot stone and a citrus treatment for pedicures. read more

Queen Bee This is the only nail salon I've been to in Davis so I can't compare the service here to other salons. However, my experience have been good overall. They definitely take walk-ins appointment, but this business can get really packed on Friday and the weekends. If you decide to walk in during the afternoon to evening on those busy days, you may have to wait longer than 30 minutes until you can be seated. The place itself is huge and well lit. At first, you will only see manicure table workstations, but if you are requesting a pedicure, they have another room in the back with at least 8 pedicure chairs. The color selection is extensive for both regular and gel nail colors. The nail technician I always see is Lisa. She listens to my concerns and always makes sure that I'm satisfied with the shape of my gel nails. With her, I'm comfortable with voicing any issues I have with my nails. I have also got a pedicure here, serviced by the same person, and left with my feet feeling butt soft. My friends have also raved about this nail salon when I mentioned it to them. Overall, I definitely recommend this place to get your manicure and pedicure! read more

I came in here for the first time because I wanted to try a new salon. However, I don't think I'll be coming back. I got a regular manicure, wasn't too expensive or anything which I'm glad about. The manicure was fine, nothing special.. he did an okay job, my nails needed one more coat, because the nail polish was a little thin, but he failed to recognize that; even though it was obvious. Towards the end, I noticed that there were some spots to clean up and I was thinking, he's probably going to clean up around the edges of my nails. He did not, and I just cleaned them up myself when I got home. My paint also started to chip within two days of getting the manicure, but that has never happened to me at this other salon, that I went to for a couple of years. Nothing bad happened at my other salon, G nails, I just wanted to venture out, and see if there were any other good nail salons in town. read more

Went here for the first time today to get gel nails done. The space was large and had a homey feel, I really enjoyed it. They also had a huge color selection which I really liked. My manicure was quick and painless, the lady who did my nails was very sweet and you could tell she took her job seriously. The gel manicure was only $25 which I think is a very reasonable price. Only downside is that the charge to use card was $1 (which I was not told about) and their atm machine was out of order. They also have stamp cards which is very unique to a nail salon, I really liked the idea! Once you get the stamp card filled out you get $10 off your next visit! Overall, I really enjoyed it here and I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Queen Bee Nails Spa - My gel nails look great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Davis, California

I read good reviews so I went here to get a fill. I paid extra for the gel polish to avoid any chipping. Just to have my polish start chipping a few days later. I'll stick to my regular nail salon. The customer service was good. read more

Holly does an awesome job. When you walk in whoever is available will greet you and ask you to come back (if you called ahead) or what you would like done. Their pedicure chairs are comfortable and always clean and working. The music and lighting is soft. They offer water and check-in with you to see if you're happy throughout the service. Fair prices too! The only thing that could make my experience better is if the climate was more consistent. Sometimes, it's just too warm for me to fully relax. I walk out loving my nails. read more

I would like to take into consideration that we are in a pandemic and businesses are struggling but my daughters face is messed up from a wax job she had done at this salon.

I've never had this happen to me, the entire gel nail polish peeled off in one piece. My other nails are chipped as well. It's only been 4 days since it got it done. I'm so disappointed. read more

I visited this salon for the first time about a week ago and got a dip powder manicure on my natural nails. Initially, I was very satisfied with the quality of the nails, especially for the price of $35. Service was a little bit lacking and the man that did my polish was a bit rough at times. It only took two days for the polish to chip (even though the dip powder is supposed to pay a long time -- longer than gel). I went in and had it fixed. Within a week, the same nail chipped again along with two other finger nails. It's a bit of nuisance to pay for longer lasting polish but have it seemingly break faster than regular. I most likely will not come back to this spot because I feel like there is a serious contrast between price and quality of service. Perhaps better products should be used read more

I recently went to get my nails done and the First Lady did a really good job! But then 2 of my nails broke. I went back to get them fixed and the man who did them was very aggressive he cut my cuticle with no apology or comment proceed to spray chemicals and top of my nail with the cut.. the index and middle fingers are the ones I got redone and they are very disfigured and we're rushed into finishing. read more

Let me save you some time...DON'T GO HERE. I've gone to Queen Bee Nails Spa three times just to give them a fair shot and every time I come I'm more and more disappointed in the outcome of my nails. However, today was my tipping point because they were so UNNECESSARILY RUDE AND MY NAILS LOOK LIKE CRAP. When I walked inside I wanted to see the prices and the options they offered for manicures so I asked if I could see their pamphlets with that information since they don't have it posted. It seemed like such an issue for them to get up and hand me a pamphlet but they did. I personally hate when I get my nails thinned out too much because it hurts after a while so I asked them "Do you guys thin out the nails?" and they stared at me like I was stupid. I asked again if they thinned out the nail and they said "Yes we do acrylic" but that wasn't my question, so I asked another two times and I even had to look at the girl to my right "You know what I mean right?" because I don't know if I was asking a crazy question or what but she said "Yeah..." and proceeds to say the same thing I did and they just understood her -_- After they got my question I got the pamphlet to see what I wanted and this lady (Don't know her name but we're going to call her Rudey) kept asking me "What you want. What you want." I kept telling her I was still looking (I literally just got the pamphlet). I wanted FIBERGLASS. I did my research on fiberglass and know it's different than acrylic (look it up). When I told them I wanted fiberglass, again, they just looked at me like I had said something crazy (full set fiberglass was one of their options, it was right there on their pamphlet, I even pointed out to it because they looked at me like a I was dumb) but then they said "Okay". I went to the back to choose my closer and they kept telling me, "Get gel. Why you no get gel" and I told them I just didn't want gel today. I sat down and waited for them to call me up and I got Rudey, I told Rudey I wanted fiberglass and she proceeds to tell me that it's acrylic...you guys, IT'S NOT THE SAME. She proceeds to explain to me that people just call acrylic fiberglass sometimes and this and that. I didn't want to come off as rude and I would assume she wouldn't lie to me so I said "okay". I told them from the beginning that I didn't want gel polish, I just wanted regular nail polish and she kept pushing me to get gel (they tend to make the gel chunky and I just didn't want my nails chunky and also the colors don't come off nice sometimes). She gave me this face when I told her "no thank you", like that face of "okay whatever". Like lady, what's so wrong with me wanting regular nail polish, I'm sorry I don't want to pay an extra $10 for gel today. She cut all my nails and started thinning them out (didn't bother cleaning anything) and put on the fake nail tips. I started telling her "For the shape..." and SHE CUTS ME OFF saying "Later." She finishes putting on the powder and hands me off to another lady and when I go to the new lady I tell her "Can I get the coffin shape" and Rudey from the table behind her says "Why didn't you say that from the beginning?!" Like she was irritated, low key mad and as politely as I could I told her with a smile of disbelief "No, no, no. I did, but you cut me off" and she STARTED MUMBLING UNDER HER BREATH TALKING ALL MADS OF CRAP...lady what in the heck, what is your problem. The new lady got some nail clippers and started clipping the sides while Rudey kept talking crap and I just looked at her like...why are you being so rude. I never for one second was rude in any shape or form but from the beginning her and everyone else there were just nasty. Anyways, the new lady shaped my nails, which, by the way, NONE OF MY NAILS ARE EVEN. She didn't bother checking my nails from the opposite hand to make sure everything was even and nice and pretty, NOPE, uneven. When I had to put my hand on the fan so the nail polish dries some of it came off and the new lady was irritated that I messed up my nails. It wasn't my fault! She didn't even bother cleaning around my nails or inside my nails. There's still dust and dirt and chunks of who-knows-what in my nails. ONE OF MY NAILS IS ALREADY COMING OFF AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 HOURS! They thinned out my nails and it's still popping off, are you kidding me. DON'T COME HERE. Honestly, just don't. Save yourself and go somewhere in Sac if you can because the places in Davis just can't do nails well and it's insanely over priced for the quality of the work. I'm never coming back here again, for sure telling all my friends to not come here. Gosh it makes me so mad the lady was rude for no reason. read more

Been to a couple of nail places in Davis, but this one is by far the best one. Got a full set and shaped, for only $25. Usually places throw on that "extra $5 for shaping," but Lisa didn't. She worked diligently and my nails came out great! She would always ask how I liked them and if I wanted to change the shape or anything. Only problem was she kept going over my skin with her drill and it hurt, but she would apologize. Got a pedicure for $25 too! It came with a scrub and hot stone massage, too! I got a little cold when sitting in the chair, and Lisa, who wasn't even doing my nails anymore noticed and turned on the heater for me. Downside, my pedicurist cut my cuticle a little too deep, but only sprayed it with alcohol and continued cutting. Overall, great place and I recommend people get their nails done here because they give a stamp card and when you reach your tenth one, you get $10 off! read more

I wish I found this place earlier! I'm not a fan of Davis nail salons but this place made me so happy I wanted to hug the lady doing my nails LOL She was extremely attentive to details and small things even I wouldn't notice and made sure my nails were all exactly the same shape and that's hard to do since I have some bunk ass nails. I went on a weekday and it wasn't too busy and the woman who did my nails, Melissa, was really kind and patient. I paid $35 plus tip for a full set gel acrylic. Thank you thank you!! read more

I've been a long time customer with Sandy and like her work. I traveled home from Southern California in December and wanted winter nails .

I have never even made it to a full 2 weeks with my nails. It never fails, they always break. my first time going to this salon, my nails lasted 19 days! I couldn't believe it. I got acrylic and gel polish. They didn't look the best grown out, but they lasted! my daughter even got a mani with regular polish and it lasted with no chipping for a week (which is really long for a 6 year old). The only reason I docked off one star was because they're not very hospitable. They're nice, but it's awkward sitting in silence 2 hours. read more

I came in a couple of weeks ago to get one of my acrylic nails fixed as I had broken it. I had gotten my nails done at a different salon back home 2 hours away. When I came in I was seated right away and they began fixing my nail. The nail tech was unable to match my exact nail design (I had a French ombré) after a couple of tries. I told her it was fine and asked her how much it was. The tech said since she was unable to match it, she will not charge me. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. The tech was amazing and the place looks great as well. Great customer service! read more

tl;dr: Decent place but one way too close cuticle cut (still hurts days later) and a heel pumiced to the point of bleeding = never going back. While I'm no Elle Woods, I've had enough mani/pedis to know we had a terrible experience. The Good: There was no wait, as it was 3 p.m. on a Thursday. The setting was peaceful enough with massage chairs and music. The actual applying of nail polish was great. The Bad: The calf "massage" and overall pedicure experience was meh. The UGLY: The woman who worked on my feet pulled my cuticle down and then off -- so much that I had to yelp (no pun intended) OUCH! It still hurts, five days later. After the fact, my mom told me that the man who worked on her feet had used a pumice stone so hard that she bled. My mom and I wanted pedicures and happened to be driving on East Eighth when we saw the sign for Queen Bee. I figured if a mani/pedi was $35 that just a pedicure wouldn't be too unreasonable. The most basic pedicure was $25. While they did a nice job with the nail polish, my toe still hurts. read more

Very clean place with relaxing music. The staff was friendly/welcoming enough (I'm not a big talker).

I really wanted to get my nails done before heading home for the holidays. Read a lot of good reviews so I decided to give this place a try. First of all, let me just say that as someone who didn't even schedule an appointment, I was helped right away. Melissa was the one who did my nails and I absolutely love the way they came out! Not only did she take her time, but she made sure the shaping was perfect. This is the first nail salon I've gone to (and I've tried many) that I actually liked the end results. I will definitely be coming back here in the future. I mean... I even took the time to make a yelp account to leave a review, so that says a lot from my end. The best part, I only payed $36 plus the tip. Definitely recommend! read more

I got a pedicure and a full acrylic set on my hands. The pedicure was great, and even though I didn't get gel, the polish has lasted over two weeks.There were a few things I didn't like about the acrylics though. First thing was actually my fault - I haven't gotten acrylics in about 8 years, so I was unsure about the length. I was hesitant when she was shaping them and asked her to make them shorter. She barely clipped a little more off and then asked if it was okay. I felt like I was being a hassle asking them to be shortened more and more. She told me that I need to decide now because it's harder/she didn't want to have to fix the length later. In the end, they were definitely too long for me and I ended up having to clip and file them about a week later at home. Second thing, when my tips got glued on, the middle nail on my right hand didn't fit correct. The guy saw that it had popped up and separated before he was done gluing. Instead of finding a better fit, or fixing the glue, he just pushed/held it together while the glue finished drying. Within two days of leaving, that nail had separated and there was space between that mentally drove me crazy. I'll group the last two things together. While filing my nails, before applying the acrylic, the woman used the electric file to clip away my cuticles. I don't know if this is standard (like I said, I haven't gotten them done in 8 years), but three of my cuticles were bleeding and it hurt. Last, she spent a good time making the shape on my right hand, but when she got to my left, she sped through and they were leaning. I asked for a smooth, round shape. My left hand was round on one side of each nail and coffin shaped on the other side. And she was going to leave it. I had to ask her to fix it. 4 stars for the pedicure 2 stars for the full set. read more

I've stalled off getting a pedicure because of COVID but decided to go back to my favorite nail salon. What a wonderful experience and I felt totally safe. Mask are required and my temperature was checked the moment I entered the salon. I was then directed to hand sanitizer. The stations are already spaced far apart but they used only every other one. There was an acrylic shield between me and Sandy, my technician, and she was masked and wore a face shield. I'll certainly be back! read more
