Romantic Nail Salon

Century Nails is great! You would think they are another one of those nail salons you can just drop…read moreinto for a manicure, pedicure, or set of nails. Nope, not usually. That means people really like the salon and keep it busy. You need to make a reservation in advance most of the time. I have witnessed a few people walk in and be able to get in, but that's not the norm. You might think I'm giving them a bad review, but in fact it's just the opposite. I'm pointing out they are busy because they are that good. The three women who work there are all skilled in all manner of nail care. They do it all. Manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails and gel nails. French tips or a very wide selection of nail polish colours to choose from. Some of the amazing things about this salon is how friendly the employees are. After your first appointment they will likely remember your name and greet you by name when you come in again. Secondly, their prices are very very reasonable. Probably the lowest of any salon in Ventura. And they never, ever upsell you. Unlike other salons that want to charge extra for a foot or leg massage or for removing calluses from your feet Century Nails never does that. Their low prices include everything you want in a manicure or pedicure. The salon is clean and they line the tub to soak your feet with a disposable plastic liner. So call Century Nails and make your appointment. You won't regret it and your nails will look great.

Not too much pressure but very good. She was the quiet type but warm and not distant. Lilly did my bestie pedicure and was so cheerful and positive. Very clearly communicated.

I really wanted to love this place. I had a nice experience when I walked past and waved Hello and…read moremade an appointment. But the actual appointment itself let me down. I'll explain why. When I arrived I had a couple of coats of polish on my nails and they asked me to put my hands into a bowl of acetone and they'd be right back. I waited 20 minutes with my nails soaking in acetone before she came back. I was very concerned as I'd never been told to leave my real nails in acetone that long. I did as I was told and after 20 minutes she came back and painted my nails. The polish looked pretty but the very same day it started to peel off like the kind of polish children use. It all just peeled right off. I kept thinking it was because my nail bed had absorbed so much acetone that the polish literally wouldn't stick. The very next day half of the polish peeled off on its own. The lifting and peeling polish was getting stuck in my hair when I'd run my hands through my hair and just come right off. It's been a week and my nails are just getting worse each day. I am uploading photos to show the damage to my nails which was caused by soaking my nails in strong acetone for 20 minutes. I want them to know that I'm disappointed because I paid $25 plus tip for polish that wouldn't stay on my nails for even 1 day - due to my nail bed soaking up the acetone. Also; my entire nail is disintegrating on each finger due to the harsh acetone stripping my nails of keratin. See image please. I just want them to know, so it doesn't happen in the future to other customers. +1 Stars: for the beautiful paint job. -4 Stars: to damage & polish peeling off on first day. PLEASE DO NOT SOAK REAL NAILS IN THE ACETONE YOU USE FOR REMOVING POLISH FOR 20 MINUTES. My nails are very damaged.

I was told 30 minutes, so i agreed to wait and sat down to get my feet soaked. Over an hour later i was finally seen, I had to ask if my pedicure water could be refilled since it was cold by this point. My manicure was definitely rushed, I HAD TO ask if he could trim my nails down so that they could all be equal length, since he trimmed them at different lengths. The manicure was incomplete, they left hang nails and my cuticles were not pushed back or completely trimmed. The polish was spotty and got on my skin. I was there for over 2 hours for this service. By Tuesday my gel manicure was lifting and peeling. I went in Thursday because most of my GEL POLISH had lifted or chipped off. I asked if i could speak to them and they just told me to sit down, i let them know what happened and they removed the remaining gel polish. I only wanted a refund for my manicure because gel polish shouldn't peel off so soon after applying. I was told that i shouldn't get gel because my nails are too oily, i explained that this has never happened before. They insisted i get a different color, however after my experience i didn't not want to. My nails were too thin after the gel removal so now i need to let them rest before i get another gel manicure (SOMEWHERE ELSE) Once i said "no, no color, just a refund please" their employee yelled something at me as he stood up and pointed me to the door. One of the workers spoke to me on my way out and only refunded me $15 for the "gel" but would not refund the other $25 because "i still received a manicure. Then i was just told to not do gel again. Gel wasn't the problem, they were ! it saddens me because i seldomly treat myself to a mani/pedi and this felt like a waste of money for a horrible experience. 0/10 recommend, SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

the example of what I showed the employees asking them for what I wanted and then that is what I got.. not even close. As they were doing my nails, I voiced already how it was looking and they told me not to worry. They were very rough handling my hands and fingers the woman doing my nails also would not stop glaring at me and They were very rude and I can't imagine what they were saying in their native language. I like to go from salon to salon to try out there new styles but this was by far the worst experience I've had. The lady Maggie tried to say that is because they were long and not everybody has experience with it, which I agree but if someone is not qualified to do the job why have them attempt?. To top it off, instead of taking responsibility for the mistake, they got deffensive and started to make me feel that it was my fault. Overall it was a horrible job and unpleasant experience I would not recommend this salon to anybody. read more
