My boss made an appointment for five people for 1:30 today. We all had a mani pedi, we wanted all of us to get our nails done t the same time, but it ended up taking longer since more clients kept coming in. We understand that everyone should be serviced but we had an appointment so we could go back to work after. That's why I gave them four stars The lady helping me did a great job, she as very professional. They have a really big color selection, I couldn't even pick a color until it was about time to get my color done. I will be making the drive from San Mateo here from now on read more

This place is run by lovely people and for the most part the employees are good, kind, and do a nice job. The place is very old. They desperately need to close for a week, pull everything out and repaint and clean. The walls are stained, the artwork is hideous, the treatment room is so dirty looking. They have country starts, 90's art tackly tuscan art, random poorly hung free nail art from vendors, etc. Nothing goes together. Whenever I am there I mentally clean and redecorate. I think it would be much more popular if it felt fresh and clean. It's been way too long like looking like this. As a new client I would walk right out before a service, which is sad because they are such great people. I hope they take this to heart and update! read more

Kim is amazing! She did my nails and they came out even better than I expected. Her shaping is so precise and she's very detail-oriented. The whole experience was relaxing and she made sure everything looked perfect before I left. If you're coming here, definitely ask for Kim she's the best! read more

Great pedicures!! I always see Cathy. She is fantastic. The salon is comfortable and everyone is very friendly.

I had an appointment. Got a pedicure which was wonderful. Last minute (upon their upsell ) I decided to also get a gel manicure. That was a mistake. They did not trim my cuticles and the gel started peeling off less than a week after the manicure. Waste of $35 and now I have to figure out how to remove it myself, I'm not about to pay for removal...I won't be coming back here again unless it's a last resort. read more

Sky Nails Spa - My pinky is Peeling off. Same on several other fingers - Nail Salons Near Me - San Carlos, California

I have gotten my nails done here before and it turns out well usually, but the one time I got them done by the manager or store owner, it did not go well. She filed my nails down too much to the point that she filed to my skin. She was very stingy with the acrylic, and when I asked to have coffin shape nails, she looked at me and asked "are you sure you don't want almond?". I thought that was very rude of her. And when I asked her to fix my design, she said no. Having less acrylic on my nails also makes it see through instead of a basic French where it is not supposed to show the base of my nail. My nails begin breaking only a week after having them. I have been so angry and I am never coming back. read more

I love my experience with Candy. She was gentle and did a wonderful gel manicure and pedicure. After going to her consistently for over a year - I called to make an apt. with her and I was told 2 times in a row that she wasn't available and to call back the next day to see if she was working. I NEEDED my nails done so I did a walk in and got a random person to do my nails. They bamboozeled me and ended up giving me an acrylic fill when they knew I was only getting gel manicures. Ugh...the drill and the commitment of acrylics - now I feel stuck and committed to something I did NOT want. And I feel like they are talking about me in their language when they are doing my nails and they told me "this was better" than gel. It's noisey in there and not a relaxing experience at all. read more

I walked in on a busy day. I asked if there was time to do a Mani-Pedi. They told me just one minute. I waited 45 minutes and then they did only my feet and not my hands because they claimed they didn't have time. And then, when I asked about it, they started yelling at me in front of the whole group of people who were in the salon. It was extremely rude and humiliating. I would never recommend these people in 1 million years. I am on the older side so wonder if that had anything to do with it. These women are rude and insensitive. read more

I have had a few great manicures and pedicures here but the past manicure I had will be the last one at this business. She burned me multiple times with the drill. The woman then ripped my nails off by digging a fake nail under them taking multiple layers of my nails with it. My nails were so thin after she was done. When I told her to stop and that it hurt she continued to shame me for being too sensitive. She then said they don't do it the other way because it would dry out my skin and my skin was already too dry. I was ready to walk out in the middle of the service but she insisted I stay. I'll never return. Sad because there are good people here but all it takes is one bad apple ... read more

My nails are always done great I always get complements wherever I go! Not only at work but when I went to my conference people liked them

They work very very fast and are always in a rush. I did my nails twice there which the first time four snapped in the first week and the other time I got french tips that are lifting super badly and are completely different lengths on both hands and not the shape i wanted at all. Not to mention both times there were bubbles on most of my nails which make them look even worse. read more

If you are in a hurry, great! If you don't care about getting a nice foot massage, then yes! If you're okay with a just ok paint job, then absolutely! And especially if you like timers, you are at the right place! read more

The good: they were able to squeeze me in quickly without an appointment. The bad: I got a standard pedicure and my nail beds were absolutely brutalized during the process. I've never had this happen before, but she was pulling and cutting so much of my cuticles I started bleeding multiple times. Two days later, my toes are swollen and in pain. It hurts to put pressure on them when walking. The polish has also already started chipping -- not typically a problem at this point for me with other pedicures I've had. I'm worried they will become infected. Sadly, I can't recommend this establishment based on this experience. read more

I love coming to Sky in San Carlos! I moved away a couple of years ago and today made a trip to San Carlos to visit. I'm so glad I did! The deluxe pedicure is much better than the pedicures I've gotten anywhere else. The scrub, leg massage, tea, and paraffin treatment make me feel so pampered and relaxed! The nail techs are really nice and they always do a great job. read more

Best place. I only go here!!! Love them all. I get manicures and pedicures. They do great acrylic as well. No complaints!!!

The lady who was doing my nails was nice enough but kept taking calls while doing my nails. I got 3 different color, the lady only did 2 thin coats of each. When my nails were dry enough she just told me to sit on a bench.... no context. When my nails dried you could see that the polish was not well distribute and was messily applied. Also the service was not very good. I was not given very clear instructions on where to sit or what to do. I was sitting In the chair waiting for my nails to be done for 5 minutes before I was attended to. I would not recommend this place. There are probably many other better nail salons for the same price. read more

I've been a loyal, happy, satisfied customer of Sky Nails Spa since it opened in 2009. The owners Vy & Kim are the best in their craft. Everyone in their team are hard working, professional nail technicians. The salon is clean and organized. The nail tools and spa chairs are constantly sanitized. The cost of all their services are moderately priced for San Carlos. Gift certificates can be purchased as presents for loved ones. I've brought family and friends to the spa and all of them had a wonderful experience and you will too. read more

The lady that did my manicure yesterday was so rough and careless that today most of my fingers around the nails are red and painful. She cut the nails in the corners so short that I hope I don't get an infection. Too bad I didn't ask for her name. read more

It seems that even we made an appointment they keep taking the regulars. Which I find very unprofessional and not fair.

The end-result was decent and they were able to accommodate my walk-in, hence the three stars. However, I have concerns about the cleanliness of this place. The nail technician asked me to sit on a chair for my pedicure, and I saw a TON of nail clippings all over the chair from another client. I then confirmed these were in fact nail clippings by blowing on them and watching the clippings fly into the air. So I kind of just stood there awkwardly until I could point out the issue. When the nail technician finally noticed, she seemed annoyed and wiped the chair for like, half a second with a rag and then proceeded to tell me to sit down. Gross. The chair was just covered in someone else's nail clippings and some of them still remained when I sat down. They could have at least wiped it down for two whole seconds. As i was sitting there looking around, I noticed that there were nail clippings all over the floor in the salon. It seems like they just let the nail clippings culminate over the day vs cleaning them up after each client. It's kind of disgusting to be sitting in a pile of other people's dead skin cells while youre getting a pedicure. Also after they did my pedicure, they removed the towel that my feet were resting on and had my feet just dry on the footrest of the foot basin with no barrier between skin and basin. This is also gross because I guarantee they did not wipe this down after or before me. read more

I've been going to sky forever I love them. Everyone is super nice. I especially go to Phuong for my acrylic fill. She does an amazing job. But if she's not available, all the girls do a wonderful job. Same with pedicures I've never been disappointed. Lasts a long time, looks great and everyone is so so nice. And I always end up making friends with the girls in the chairs next to me read more

I got a regular mani pedi. The whole thing was very rushed even though I made an appointment a few days prior. They did my nails while I was sitting for my pedicure which I never like. The manicure is uneven and there is polish around my nails. I feel like I could have given myself a better manicure. They do have a nice color selection though. The pedicure was nice and the woman took her time and gave me a thorough massage which was the best part of the experience. But my manicure was really rushed and she did not do a very good job. I would not return here. read more

Have gone to this spot on and off for years. Yesterday's experience prompted me to get on here because not only did I get cut with my pedicure with little to no remorse from the technician, they had a tv screen with Fox News right in front of me. I asked if they could change to something other than political news since that doesn't really lend itself to a nice experience and they handed me the control- I couldn't get it to change channel so I just turned it off and they turned it right back on. Just not the spot for a nice nail experience anymore. read more

I was wanting to find a new nail place and have heard great things about Sky Nails. Sadly, I left very disappointed. I had a pink and white fill and the cost was $40 which I thought was a bit much. 1. She cut my nails extremely short 2. The white powder was uneven as well as my nails not being straight 3. Two nails have already cracked. One in less then a week and the other 8 days later. Okay so I went back for a pedicure! Walked in sat down and waited about 25min which was fine. The lady was nice however, when she went to charge me, she charged me for a $60!!!! Pedicure! I went in for a basic pedicure and she took it upon herself to give me a few extra things without asking. I didn't really pay close attention as I wasn't feeling well! I couldn't believe it! Also. They don't use spa liners for their chairs which is gross. They cut the girls cuticle next to me which caused bleeding and they cleaned it with some cotton. So unsanitary. I also watched them clean the pedi spa which was done half ass. I will never go back here! I will never be back! read more

First time and overall pleasant experience at Sky Nails. Called in 20 minutes prior, and no wait time when I arrived for my appointment. There were many customers on a Sunday afternoon, and ample staff to effectively care for everyone. Gel manicure with chrome was $50, basic pedicure was $35. I'd go back. read more

Sky Nails Spa - Gel manicure - light pink with chrome. $50 - Nail Salons Near Me - San Carlos, California

Went there on Friday before noon. Last time I will ever go there. Manager had a screaming match with my pedicure lady. They went at it for 20 minutes. I wanted to run but my nails weren't dry. They were rude, rushed me and after paying extra for gel manicure they are pealing off. They lasted less than 3 days. The bummer is that I only have time to get my nails done once every 6 weeks and they ruined my experience. Another thing that really bothers me is how rude they are asking for tips. A few months ago, they were going crazy after my 10 year old showing her she needs to tip her nail lady. I was taking care of the tipping and no need to ask for it from my child. So disappointed. read more

This place is great if you like to be told to wait 2 minutes, and you end up waiting over 30 minutes even when you have an appointment. They then have you sitting in the water for a pedicure another 10 minutes and your nail technican will start and then walk away to finish up with another customer. The last time I was there it was fairly busy and they kept allowing more walk ins when there was clearly no technicians available. I was there for over an hour and I still didn't get a leg massage, and had to shorten my pedicure to no massage because it was coming up close to 1 1/2 hours. Don't accept walkins when you aren't even able to help the customers who are currently sitting in your chair. The plus side is they do have great color selection, but that was my last time going there. read more
