Absolutely love Sarah and her work. Been going to her for over a year & a half after moving to Carlsbad in 2015. I'm very picky about nails looking perfect and neat and I'm hard to please too. She never had a problem impressing me every time! She's the best!! read more

The photos are 11 days AFTER I had the mani/pedi. Plenty of lesser quality manicures look OK the day of, the real test is how it stands up over time. And I haven't babied this manicure - I've been to work, typed, opened cans of soda etc. To make it even more amazing, I was an out-of-towner traveling to SoCal for a wedding, so Sarah knew that there would be little chance I would be able to return any time in the near future. She still did an amazing job which IMO is the mark of a true professional. I do visit SoCal about 2x a year and if she's available I'll put off getting a manicure done locally to have her do it! read more

I moved to the area about 3 months ago and I am delighted to have found Sarah Mills. I am picky about my nails and my environment - best in class on both! So happy! Thank you Ms. SARAH! read more

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough! She was so friendly and sweet and was able to get me in for a gel manicure on my lunch break. My nails look gorgeous! I can't stop looking at them! I will definitely be back!! Seriously worth every penny! read more

I had been going to a neighborhood "walk-in" nail salon and was unhappy about the results. A friend recommended Sarah and I have not stopped going to her! She does such an amazing job with Shellac and Gel! I would not call her a nail technician - she is a nail artist. She can do glitter, polka dots (my favorite), foil, and swirl. Check her out! read more

Sarah Mills Nails - Swirl technique - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Sarah was wonderful! My mom and I came to her to get our nails done before my wedding - she did a fantastic job. My gel manicure was beautiful, and is still holding up great after all if the wedding madness I put it through. The pedicure was perfect too. Very relaxing environment, charming and friendly. I'll definitely be back! read more

I LOVE Sarah, she's the best manicurist around. Her glitter nails are so beautiful and festive for the holidays. If you want beautiful nails go see Sarah you won't be sorry. read more

Sarah was fantastic! Her attention to detail was spot on. I love that she carried OPI products. I also loved that you are the only one with her and get her undivided attention. read more

Sarah is impossible to get in touch with. There HAS to be a better way to make contact with your clients. Sarah gave me some bullshit excuse about her having problems with her phone. I don't buy it. DONT COME HERE!!! If I could take back my 1 star I would. Thumbs down ALL the way down!!!! read more

Sarah is THE BEST. She's precise, quick, and her work is HIGH quality! I've never had a crookedly filed or imperfectly painted nail leave her station - and I am really picky! My gel mani's from Sarah last at least 4 weeks, usually 5. She's super gentle removing gel polish - which is NOT the case at most places. Not only will you leave with a great mani or pedi, but she's sweet and funny, too; you'll have a great time! I like being able to make appointments by text, it's super quick and easy, she always gets right back to you. Is she 'cheap?' No, but her work is worth every penny!! read more

Love Sarah! This review is long overdue. Sadly I can't go to her anymore for fun shellac because of my new job, but I used to love getting glitter and the candy corn shellac for halloween. She really loves what she does and is always trying to find fun new designs or to make herself better. The only thing that I would say thats tough is getting an appointment with her. She is her own single person so you can imagine how busy she can get, but it doesn't help much when you don't have a set schedule. That is the only thing I would take a star off for is just booking the appointment. Other than that love her! read more

Do you want great looking nails? Do you want a nail tech that listens to you? Do you want to make an appt. and not have to wait? Go see Sarah!! She has taken my badly done nails and made them into perfection. I'm never going anywhere else!! read more

I unfortunately went somewhere else for a pedicure and because of the lack of English spoken I didn't get what I wanted. Found Sarah through Yelp and called her. She fixed my problem and proceeded to give me a fabulous pedicure and finished the whole procedure off with a OPI gel polish. My tootsies look gorgeous now! Thank you Sarah! If you are in Carlsbad and want a great manicurist she is your girl! read more

Absolutely adore! I love getting my nails done and I always get so many compliments. Love the gel & shellac techniques...they last so much longer than regular polish. read more

Sarah is adorable, very creative and up for anything. She easily copied my Pinterest nail find like it was nothing. Her experience shows in her work. I have been twice, and she has done an awesome job both times. read more

My review is long overdue, but Sarah is amazing. She is the sole nail tech l in a quaint salon in Carlsbad Village. It was very easy to schedule appointments with her by text message and she was very accommodating in scheduling appointments that worked around my schedule. She is extremely friendly and meticulous. She has a great selection of quality polishes (Shellac, OPI and Vinylux) and it is very apparent that everything she uses is very sanitary and clean. Her prices are quite a bit higher than your traditional strip mall nail salon, but well worth it for her quality work and the piece of mind that all of her basins and tools are clean and sanitary. I would highly recommend Sarah and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great nail technician! read more

Sarah works in the cutest little salon in Carlsbad. She has a true talent and loves what she does. She is so sweet and as a mom I look forward to getting my nails done and having a good conversation. I got gel nails done for the first time and they were amazing. She does such good work and that's hard to find. Sarah is the BEST! read more

Sarah Mills Nails - My nails that Sarah did for me for the Marine Corps Ball. Love them! - Nail Salons Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I've been going to Sarah for over a year now. She does such an amazing job. My nails always look great and she is so creative. She can made mine look sophisticated, normal, holiday, fun, and wow! I have even brought in a picture from a magazine and replicated it right at that appointment. She also made my toes match (one of my quirks). Her foot massages are the best too! She is strong and really hits the pressure points. read more

Sarah Mills is by far the best at what she does. That's my opinion. There are alot of people out there that can and can not do what she does but the bigger and better picture is you won't be disappointed and you will have a good friendly environment, very good vibes and a very good conversations. Awesome technic and designs and massage is perfect. also very comfortable relaxing place to be. read more

This made me write my 1st Yelp review. Sarah did a good job! However, be warned that a regular pedicure is $50 & I didn't see the prices being listed anywhere. I've been getting pedicures for years but getting charged $50 + tip was the first!! Insanely overpriced for a simple pedicure in my opinion. read more

i was enticed by the really cool and creative pictures on yelp to book an appointment with Sarah. i got glitter gel nails and a regular polish pedicure. she is very personable and the salon has a nice setting. she does a great job and has lots of options to choose from like shiny foil and glitter for gel nails. she really enjoys what she does and having all her creative options. i will just say that i did have quite a bit of sticker shock when i got a $90 bill for my gel mani and regular pedi. i think if i go back i will just get one or the other. read more

Sarah is super nice and she did such a great job on my nails! She was very accommodating making my appointment because I needed to be done at a certain time. I got the shellac on my fingers and toes a week ago and it still looks like I have a fresh coat of polish on them. I will definitely come back again! read more

$35 for gel nails. I was out in 40 minutes. The salon is really cute. She has her own area of the house, so it was nice - a little removed from the stylists. She has a very friendly personality, very upbeat without being fake or too talkative. She really enjoys what she does. Great experience and they turned out very nicely. read more

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE getting my nails done by Sarah. Not only is the mani/pedi look superb, but she creates such a lovely experience. I feel at ease and comfortable knowing that I'll have an awesome manicure done by her. If you're on the hunt for someone who does good nails, go to Sarah, you'll get GREAT Nails. read more

Sarah is the best. I found her using yelp. We are wintering here for 3 months & needed to find a nail person. I am so lucky to find Sarah! I've had acrylic now gel nails for 25 years. Sarah is definitely the most talented I've found and is so pleasant! She gives an amazing pedicure too! I hate to leave & go back to the nail person I thought was the best before I met Sarah! The salon is cute & everyone seems happy! read more

Sarah did my gel nails for my wedding and she did an AMAZING job. I got a gel French manicure, and it's been 3 weeks and they are just starting to chip! I've never had nails last this long and am very impressed with the quality of the mani/pedi. Highly recommend!! read more

She rocks!! I have been there since she started this location. You pay for great service and quality of the product. You bet it is worth the price. read more

Sarah is wonderful. She has nursed my nails back to health and they look great. I had to get an emergency manicure elsewhere when traveling, and the nail tech said that she was really impressed with Sarah's skills and was embarrassed that she couldn't do as good a job (and it wasn't even close). Sarah is a gem. read more

I have been coming to Sarah for almost two years. She is great and her gel nails always turn out fabulous. Please know she books up fast... But is worth the wait.. read more
