    The last day my nails looked good because of a bad gel manicure by Danny
    Ursula O.

    It's been almost 2 months since I had my most recent gel manicure that was done by Danny. When I started coming here consistently, my real nails were healthy and long. I also indulged in the gel pedicure every other visit. The massage is what I look forward to the most... I was here every 3 weeks getting something done. However, on this last visit for my gel manicure, the older gentlemen nail tech named Danny had a hard time taking the gel polish off. So he did something he should never do... He soaked my real nails in acetone. I'm not talking a soaked cotton ball on my nail. He made up sandwich bags with acetone in them and told me to submerge my nails in them. Me thinking that they know what they are doing, trusted him. THIS MAKES YOUR NAILS BRITTLE. Less than 24 hours later, the gel polish on my nail started peeling. I went back the very next day and he fixed it... just for it to peel off again before the end of that day. I do not have time to keep going back to fix my nails... The next day, another startd peeling and then my nails all started breaking. Not one. Not two. Not four. All of my nails broke after coming here. Not just the white part of your nail that grows out that you can clip. We're talking several nails, in the pink area of your finger nails, where you can't cut them. That hurts so much! These days, I work around 100 hours a week and I have ZERO time to keep coming back. One time, that's ok. Now than that, with you or the nail tech are doing something wrong. Danny ruined my nails. My real nails that I love to keep long. I did go back after 3 weeks to get a pedicure. I really wanted to and was able to personally talk to Keim. First I talked to her on the phone on the phone and she wanted to see my nails. 9/10 of my nails were wrecked and she knows that when I would come back to get them redone, my nails would still look fabulous after 3 weeks. Practically untouched except for the growth. On the phone, I told her I didn't want anything in my nails because of what what happening. She acknowledged that she needs to keep an eye on her nail techs to make sure they are doing the correct procedures. When she saw my nails in person the same day at our appointment, she offered to take the gel polish off. Turns out, there is a correct way to take the gel polish off and it doesn't involve soaking your nails in acetone. Then she charged me $10 after offering to take off the crappy job done by her tech, Danny. Thanks Keim. I have decided I am not coming back here. To this day, 2 months later, my nails are still brittle and breaking. My nails are ruined until they do a full growth cycle and that will take months. I did give an extra star rating for how kind they were, but the service on my gel manicure was a complete fail.

    I went to Rocklin Nails with my friend and we were both extremely disappointed with the experience. I got short, basic nails with a simple polka dot design and was charged over $100, which felt way too expensive for such a simple service. My friend had originally booked a Gel-X appointment, but the technician told her she had "nice nails" and refused to do Gel-X, even though that was the service she scheduled and wanted. She ended up getting just a regular gel manicure with no added length and was still charged over $75. Even though our nails looked nothing like the design we showed. The staff also told us they would give us a "student discount" since we didn't know about their prices, but in the end we didn't receive any discount at all. On top of that, they forgot about my friend and didn't start her appointment until about 30 minutes after mine had already begun. At the end, they gave me a $5 gift card and a business card, encouraging me to come back and recommend them to others. After this experience and the prices we were charged, it felt very disappointing and unprofessional.

    I went to Rocklin Nails today for the first time. The salon is so clean and inviting. The staff are welcoming. Their appointment services and check in process are so easy to use. Leo did an amazing job on my nails. The shape and length is so consistent. The flower design is so pretty. I love my nails! Found my new go-to nail salon! I highly recommend them.

    Eric was amazing! I've never had someone so precise and careful. Every single person walking out of this salon had amazing nails. Found them on Instagram and did not disappoint! It was so clean and cute in there. They also offered water and champagne

    This place is amazing! Clean, relaxing, and a very friendly staff. I've been to many nail places before from the Bay Area to here and this place has been my favorite! I've always left happy!

    Gel builder, these are my , with re-enforcement

    After almost 15 yrs with the same nail tech& 5 of that traveling from Marysville to Vacaville due to not finding a salon that does gel builder on natural nails. I went in today expecting Khiem the owner but got Leo instead& I am not mad about it. He was great, top motch& I'm impressed, will be back next time a pedi too

    After going here a few times I realized that the owner is just about reviews. My nails never lasted more than a week. Instead of going back, I have decided to wait weeks to go to a reputable salon. The nails looked beautiful at first but chipping means they aren't using quality products. I thought about going back but after 2 times of receiving bad quality I decided it was not a fit for me. The owner is super nice, but she made sure the nail tech knew I had a previous issue and it made me very uncomfortable. 1 week nails are not worth my time and money. I'm never going to return and hope that people will realize that this business is fishing for good reviews! Also they always overbook, so you have to wait or you are rushed. Sorry Kiem I wish you the best you are a nice person but I think you need to deeply look at what's actually happening in your nail salon!

    Thank you Rocklin Nails for my full acrylic French tip set. The staff were super friendly and attentive as soon as I walked in. This was my first time coming to this salon and the owner remembered my name from when I booked the appointment :) To me, the prices were reasonable and it was not crazy busy when I went in the afternoon. When asked to make a change to one of my nails, the Nail Technician was flexible and made sure I was satisfied with the adjustment, length and quality before moving forward. I will definitely be recommending this salon to my friends and family.

    A follow-up to my previous impressive gushing review as I really want to love this place…read more The amount of time we spent there: B+/- for two of us, mani and pedi for each of us, and only Sandy working, AND going out of her way to take us on New Years day, I can't be too upset for it taking over 6 hours. The price: C- Pretty steep IMO. With tip, I paid $295. This was a discounted rate for a New Year special and it included a $20 cert for each of us on our next return. Comfort: A / A-. The place is beautiful. I love the pink tree and flower wall and decor. The place was pleasant smelling - not like nail polish as I expected. Though I was ready to go home and my foot water got cold before she got to my pedi. The foot massage was very nice. Company: A+ Sandy is very nice and personable and no communication issues. Very much enjoyed her company. Quality of work: A and F. The A part: My niece got pretty long tips and a nice pedi. They were all still intact 5 days later when she left to go home. The F part: My toes (some new tiger eye gel stuff) snagged all night on my sheets. Got up early to notice one of my toenails either started to cut too short or broke part-way with polish over it. No big deal, finished cutting it and filed it down. Two toenails were just snagging where they were cut but not filed. One other toenail, the gel just fell off somewhere. I know it was there - I watched her put it on, but by morning, it was gone. The next day, just half of another toenail came off leaving a shrarp ridgid line between polish and no polish. One foot got 3 coats of gel while the other only got 2. I didn't say anything as she had already started moving to the topcoat and it is still winter so nobody will see it. The worst part: My fingernails - to be fair, they were pretty jacked up to start with as I normally wear dip and long past their expiration. I ended up with new dip with gel on top and short and stubby uneven nails. I did ask to keep as much of the length as possible, but I only got that on one nail. The 2nd day into it, one nail chipped. Day 3, the whole nail - dip and gel polish disappeared while I was making a large dinner for in-town family and friends. I had to throw out the ENTIRE thing to save major embarrassment of not knowing where this fingernail had gone. Humiliating to throw away dinner when everyone is hungry. Another $500 to take everyone out because of a failed nail job. By day 7 - Just a week into it, I was down 4 fingernails and 2 1/2 toenails. I was able to swing into Creative Nails to get the rest of the gel off my 6 remaining fingernails on Saturday the 11th. Sandy wasn't there. 2 other men were and I asked for help to get them off. One of them pulled the container of nail tips and used one to pop the rest of them off. I asked if he had acetone or something else. 'He said this is healthier.' and proceeded to pop them off. Pretty uncomfortable and there isn't much of my natural nailbed left. Hell, I could have done that myself and possibly salvaged a bit of my own nails that are now super thin, flimsy, peeling, rough and breaking. After he told me I owed him $10., I wasn't about to show him my feet. I was pretty upset he even asking me to pay (and I told him they were just done), I forgot to use my $20 coupon. UGH. Sorry Sandy, I thought I found a gem, but I won't be back.

    Took my daughter to get her first acrylics for promotion. We had two appointments booked for 10, I…read morewanted it to be a fun mother daughter event. When we arrived there was only one employee available. 40 minutes later a couple other employees arrived. (Mind you this is 40 minutes after my appointment time) No one even asked if I was waiting for a service. They then tried upselling my daughter and another customer to get pedicures. So one started a pedicure and the other disappeared in the back. By that point I was so annoyed I never even asked to get my full set. I'll keep my money, thanks. Very disappointed that I had two appointments booked and no one there to do my nails. Thank goodness I let my daughter sit down first since it was her special day. He did an amazing job on her nails. Shape and color are great. But it took over two hours, which is longer than I expected. Quality is good. The space is nice. But customer service is lacking. Really disappointing experience. Why even have customers make appointments if you aren't going to staff for them.
