this salon is pleasant,, clean, professional. I prefer this salon to any of the other ones within a mile or two.

My nails were cute, although the edges were sharp when I got home. It's only been 6 days and I've already lost 3 of them to just normal everyday things like washing my hair or opening my dog's crate. It's disappointing when this is the most expensive gel-x set I've gotten in Chico at $75 plus tip read more

Even though I showed up about 35 mins before closing, they were able to get me in for my fill. Shop is clean, lots of color options to choose from. Definitely want to do a pedi soon! read more

I showed up in the morning time as a walk in and the lady who greeted me was nice. Told me they were busy and she could make an appointment for me at 3pm. I came back on time at 3. They had me sit down to get my pedicure first. Took them almost an hour to start my toes, then after they got to my nails. I almost stood up and left because of how horrible the time management was. My nails came out good thought but not over $100 good. Probably won't be going back after my service today read more

The gel polish didn't last and it's only been since May 15. I really like the color I chose and it's unfortunate that the polish is coming off so easily. I would say to go somewhere else if you're looking for quality gel work. read more

I've tried many nail salons, but keep coming back to this one because they do the best job.

I usually go in here to get my nails done on the regular by a nice lady but I got my nails done by a man I've never gotten them done by before last time. He was OUT OF THIS WORKLD RUDE. Firstly he did my black French too short so I asked if he could make it longer and he huffed and told me "he was just doing what was in the picture." He also stated I "ask for too much" and should've asked before he cured them. I'm sorry I thought I was the customer here and could request a service to MY LIKING?!?!?!?? After that he continued to make rude remarks and cut my cuticles and made them bleed. He also left my nails not sharp, flat, and bumpy. The cuticle area is overfilled and not filed properly. If you go to this place I would drive and turn back unless you get the nice young lady that sits in the corner of the salon. I'm extremely disappointed with my service I received last week. I always tip but obviously due to this HORRIBLE customer service I pressed that 0 on the tips. read more

Terrible vibes and extremely long wait. Kept trying to give chance after chance but when you dread going somewhere to get your nails done and cringe because you know you'll probably be stuck waiting 3 hours for a 30 minute manicure, you should probably look elsewhere. read more

I went for my first time and i got josh for my gel pedicure when i tell u my toes look perfect! They look perfect! Ive gone to bliss nails for years and they have never been able to achieve a perfect french tip like josh could highly recommending! They even have a point system i got a free 10 bucks off for my next visit for how much i spent. Did the $40 dollar spa pedicure + gel and design it was $70. Super reasonable!!! They got me in quick for my appointment normally even with a scheduled apt at other places ive had to wait 30 minutes sometimes longer so definitely valued the customer service. read more

UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT ALMOST 2 HOURS after making an appointment don't go. Don't get it wrong they do great nails but don't even bother making an appointment they don't care it's always first come first serve. It's annoying even after getting sat down they started my nails and went to THREE other girls who came in after me to start theirs? Weird... again they do great work but they don't honor appointments and don't do your set they start and then come back. I came in for a full set took 3 plus house. I would have definitely left if they didn't start then walk away so I then had to stay. read more

The pedicure was great today, the hot pink toes are cute! But I was charged $15 for using the massage chair during the pedicure. Using the massage chair, I assumed was part of the experience (and included in the total cost- not here). I've never been charged for using the chair before during a pedi, I mean it's $1.00 for the massage chair at the mall so the $15 seems excessive... also there is a $2 fee for card... besides that it was good read more

I didn't catch my techs name but she did a great job on my manicure. My cuticles and polish are perfect! I really wanted a pedicure but I hesitated because I didn't see a little blue paper autoclave envelope anywhere so I was nervous as to how they sterilize their equipment, or if they even do. She just pulled the manicure equipment off her tray. If the equipment is autoclaved the envelope should always be opened in front of you. I really don't wanna pick up toenail fungus bc it's nearly impossible to get rid of so it wasn't worth the risk for me. The smell was also strong enough to give me a slight headache while I was here. Update: It's been six days and my gel polish nails are already chipping read more

Did not have the best experience here. I went in yesterday to get a fill and the guy who did it just slapped so much acrylic on my nails, they were super thick. By the time I realized this I couldn't have him fix it because I was going to be late for work and he was rushing to do someone pedicure so I figured I would come in today to get them fixed. The picture I have attached below is when I got them FIXED... didn't catch it when I left because the same guy who did them sloppy the first time was fixing them and I wanted to get out of that place quickly. Went to Angel Nails to get them removed immediately after, much better service there. read more

Once was enough. That's all I have to say, however 85 characters are required to post! If you don't expect much, ya know like sanitizing tools between clients or the ability to understand any English at all such as "ouch, stop digging as if for gold" then give them a try. Be sure to have a course of antibiotics on hand, preferably a 10 day course! Just my opinion.... read more

Id give them 0 stars if I could. I asked them to soak off my nails multiple times and if they didn't have time that's okay I could find another place and the male owner promised me he would have time to do that request. I waited 2 hours for him to finally see me to just ignore my concerns about using a fake nail to go underneath the acrylics and rip them off because it damages my nails and hurts when they do that style of taking off nails. He promised this way is best and it doesn't hurt which was a lie. I was very upset when I left, it hurt a lot and damaged my nails underneath. The rude male owner could have very well let me just soak them off while I was waiting the two hours before he saw me. Never going back. I'd recommend Angles nails and spa if you want your needs to be met! They do a wonderful job there ask for Kevin read more

I recently moved to Chico and definitely was in need of some self care , arriving to this location which is a corner lot made it easy to find . I walked in and was greeted immediately with pure kindness, it was definitely a vibe , they played a soft jazz station which had me relaxed while getting my pedicure, The owner did my nails which wow double wow, I showed the photos of what I wanted and she did it better lol than my photos I showed her , she was funny , sweet , listened to my vision . It is family owned and operated so you sense the awesome family dynamics. Best shop hands down in Chico , and yes I can say that after going shop to shop the other shops didn't have the experience to do the job . read more

Let me start off by saying I have only had one experience, so take that as you will. However, after my one experience I will not ever spend my time or money there again when I know other much better places exist. I got a gift card to Skylab, so even though I don't usually go there I thought I'd check it out. From start to finish I had a terrible experience. I felt like I was the biggest inconvenience and that I was like their enemy for just existing. To make an appointment here they ask you to text them. Below I have attached the conversation I had which the last text you see is the last message of the conversation I never received anything else. I wanted to clarify prices because it didn't say for regular nails or acrylic and that's how I was treated. So I decided not to hold that one conversation against them and a few days later I called to make an appointment rather than texting again, once again not a great conversation but not as bad as the first time. Then I arrive at my appointment and the rude attitude and general vibe they're not happy continues. They point in a general area of all their chairs where I should sit and when I sat in the wrong one they got upset and pointed to the general area again and when I asked to confirm which seat there was a sigh so I just guessed and sat down. The entire appointment was silent and it's not their job to entertain me however I do like to engage when someone is doing something like this for me. Finally the appointment concludes and she got nail polish on my finger looked at and touched it briefly then left it. My actual nails looked fine but after 5 days begin falling off. I usually only use this app for positive reviews but I am leaving this hoping that the workers learn from my experience. read more

I got my nails done here on Sunday 10/15/23 & I already have bubbling and peeling on multiple nails. The place was not clean. At all . I was shocked since it's so new . I called earlier in the day to make an appointment. I spoke to someone and they said I should come in at 3 pm . I got there a few minute before 3 and it seemed like I wasn't in the books . I was seated about 10 min after . They had one nail technician working on 3 people at once and had a woman that was waiting before me next to me , she wasn't helped until I was done ! They just had a bunch of people sitting in chairs . The gel manicure service was 30 min long, as you can see it was not quality as I am already seeing signs of bubbling . I definitely will not be coming back . read more

I brought my sister in for a pedicure before her wedding this weekend and we've never been to SkyLab. I called ahead to schedule the appointments because everywhere in Medford Or, didn't accept walk ins, this place does tho! We were greeted so warmly, the gentleman who sat us was so nice to us. The lady who did my pedicure was also so sweet, there was a language barrier, but if you're a decent human being it's nothing to stress over. Never, not once did they make us feel terrible about getting our pedicures. My toes haven't felt this great in years! 10/10 I would recommend this place. The sweet lady even offered us drinks while we were getting our pedis and candy while we checked out. Simple acts of kindness/service go a long way and this salon has mastered them. read more

First time here a few days ago. Staff was friendly and the place was very clean. Didn't have to wait. Love my French manicure.

Very pleased with the quality and service got the owner and his staff. How's provided with me and my daughter? They are amazing place, very compassionate and pays very close attention to detail do what you want. I would highly recommend this place to anybody and everybody, not just doing nails, but they do everything else. I would not go anywhere else in Chico. This place is amazing. It's my new shop. I would give him a 10 star. read more

The people who work here are very welcoming, they make the effort to remember your name and things about you that you previously told them, they offer drinks here (including wine) which is so nice, and the nails themselves are awesome. Their artistry shown through design requests is really good as well compared to other salons in the area. They have every color you can think of for acrylic powders, dips, and polishes. They even stay in the salon finishing customers nails over an hour after closing. They're dedicated here, and a few of the workers here are really funny which makes the experience even better. 5 stars. read more

This is my second trip in and think this will be my new go-to spot. They're in a convenient location for me and are always insistent on getting me what I want. I think I've had nail tech Lily on both of my visits and I highly recommend. My nails took a little while but Lily was very careful and extremely gentle with my nails while caring for them both times. The wait can sometimes be a while as they have been packed both times I've visited but I think the wait is worth both the level of care and attention to my nails. See you guys in a couple weeks! read more

The best nail salon in Chico!!! Been living here for 4 years and have tried every salon within 5 miles of downtown and this one is THE BEST! I am genuinely mad I found out about this place only now. Here's why they're the best: 1. Quality - I get acrylics and everywhere else I've tried makes them thick, uneven, or misshaped. I was so happy after my first appointment when my acrylics were thin, but strong, perfectly shaped, and lasted 6 weeks before my next fill with NO LIFTING. 2. Customer Service - The guy (I believe the owner) who runs it is incredibly nice and you know he's going to take care of you without kissing your ass. I have never had to wait additional time when I make an appointment, a trend at every other salon sometimes 30+ minutes after my appointment. He always starts a genuine conversation and offers a beverage including wine, beer, soda, water, etc. Not only are they consistent and reliable, they also have a reward system where you can put in your phone number and build up points too. A part of me wants to gatekeep how incredible this salon is so it doesn't get booked out, but I have to share so their business can grow and thrive like they deserve to. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!! read more

I went here two weeks after they opened it was great the wife and husband we're amazing and personable. They were talkative and accommodated and wanted to make my nails perfect. It was busy and they still took the time to make my nails great. They lasted forever I loved it so much I went back. However the 2nd time they got two more staff memebers and I got the new lady, she was so rude she didn't listen to what I wanted just did her own thing. Wouldn't talk to me the whole time rolling her eyes I was so mad. When she would try and ask me a question about my nails I would Say what politely and she would rudely say "never mind" I was like excuse me. My nails took like 40 min If that and it shows, two days later one of my nails was coming off I get my hair caught in it all the time. I want to give them a second chance because my first visit with the owners was the best. So it's a bummer. read more

I've had my nails done here a few times. Prices are pretty decent for a full set. Doesn't feel dirty in there, just overall staff are busy/doing their own thing. On my third set in a row I had a nail break, but never before that. It has a very very strong chemical smell in there so be prepared for that. I don't know much about sanitation practices. I wouldn't recommend coming here for groups. read more

The quality of these nails are very good and detailed , but it is unacceptable to have an appointment at 2 o'clock and not receiving service until three. Adding onto that when I do get service they leave and go to another client in five minutes. My entire nail trip took 2 1/2 hours for a simple French tip and that is unacceptable. read more

Made an appointment, even arrived 20 minutes early. Turns out appointments are useless. Waited from 5:40 to 8:40. Finally got seated and had to wait longer for the lady that was going to do my nails, she was working on another woman's nails while three workers where open, doing absolutely nothing. I wasted almost 4 hours today just waiting. I find it so stupid how the lady would work on my nails and leave and take her sweet ass time. My parents were about to grab me and leave but the lady finished my design in 8 minutes, mind you the design of my french tips came out super uneven, ugly, and not what I wanted. Never coming back. read more
