Sparkling Nails & Spa - Mimosa that came with my pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Carmichael, California

We picked this salon based on its 4.4 star reviews. Let me just start with all of the positive comments: Parking was great. We arrived at around 2 pm, it got a little busier after I had to come back to get my nails fixed. The staff was very kind and we had some nice conversations. Environment was spacious and there was no wait time. Amy did gel nails for my friend and Henry did her gel pedicure. She was happy with the results and they did a great job! Speed and quality gets thumbs up for them. My experience was entirely different. Vy did my gel manicure and I asked if she could sand down my vertical ridges on my nails. She said there's nothing I can do but the gel would cover it anyways. Interesting... because that wasn't my experience with other nail techs. I noticed she applied a few coats but the edges were noticeably messy. When she started applying lotion to my hands, I realized she was finished but the results were unacceptable. I showed my friend sitting next to me and she didn't have the guts to tell me until we left. Vy noticed I wasn't happy after I asked her to take a look at the edge of my nails. There was so many areas of missing paint and she began using the drill to sand down the top coat. After that she tried to fix it by repainting another coat over it. I felt terrible even bringing it up so I kept apologizing and thanking her for the extra work. However, her response was a bit concerning: she said, "It's okay, I probably couldn't see." All of my nails? That definitely made me wonder why I would ever come back here. By the time my nails were done with Vy, my friend's gel pedicure and gel manicure were complete. It took about an hour for both of us. After we leave, I see my nails in broad daylight and it magnifies the flaws even more. I sent a photo to my step-sister who owns a nail salon and she told me to go back and have them fixed because it looked terrible. I called them back and Annie picked up the phone. Annie said I could text the photo to them and told me they'd fix it. I come back 30 minutes later and get another nail tech by the name of Andy. Andy looked my nails and had no words, he just apologized. He seated me right away and said they'd do another color for me no problem. At this point I didn't want gel because I didn't want to ever have to come back to this salon again. I was mortified. I asked them to remove the gel and just give me a clear coat but they insisted gel - I had to tell them 3 times I didn't want it. I told him it was my first time here but the difference with Andy was: he delivered high quality work and had a great attitude to be resolving my issues. 10 years of experience and I felt like he actually cared. The ridges on my nails I mentioned to Vy were addressed immediately without me even having to ask. Andy used the drill and sanded it down and also filed my nails. All of these little steps were missed the first time. My family owns a couple of nail salons in the east coast. I can't believe I had to text them these photos. The worst part was I felt ashamed for even having to call the store to complain and come back. Despite my first results, they handled the problem with grace and the customer service of Annie and Andy was appreciated. I basically paid for gel manicure plus tip to get my gel polish removed. There was no way I'd be seen in public like that. Thank you for actually caring about the satisfaction of your customers. Not all nail techs deliver the same quality! read more

Phenomenal service. Incredibly clean. Really nice people. I can't say enough about the staff at sparkling. They're all great and do an outstanding job taking care of their clients wishes. It's been years since I've had a full set of acrylics. The quality's of the set Andy did for me has been unmatched. I just had a fill and am just as happy. I was so happy I recommended them to my 93 year old grandmother who used to love getting her nails done. Unfortunately, since her nail tech retired some years ago she has not found anyone up to her expectations. She had her full set done today. To say she's ecstatic would be a massive understatement. Oh, and their pedicures are amazing as well with a whole menu to pick from. These are for sure our nail people for life! Thank you!!! read more

I got a gel manicure from them and this was my result in less than 4 days while gel is supposed to last up to two weeks. I paid $40 for this and it's gross. Maybe they didn't cure it properly, but I won't be coming back here nor recommending anyone I know to this place. Sorry. But the vibe of the place was cool. read more

Andy was amazing! Great spa pedicure! Quiet, quick, and easy. Andy was accommodating and checked in regarding my pedicure!

This is one of those places I am not sure why I have not reviewed yet. Maybe I am just too relaxed to review after visiting? I am pretty basic: a gel manicure and pedicure with some basic add-ons (I forget the exact names of the ones I request, but the pedicure comes with a lotion/scrub set of your choice, paraffin wax, hot towels, and hot stones, which are all delightful - it is a middle-of-the-road pedicure in terms of pricing and what's included). The prices are much more affordable with much more included than some places in the area (there is definitely a lot of competition, but I always end up here). The vibe is very relaxed, and everyone is so friendly. I love the relaxing music they play (usually soft covers of pop songs). I have brought many people here, and no one has been disappointed in the service or quality of their nails. Even my dad, who never thought he would get a pedicure, has added this to his routine because he feels comfortable and welcomed here. I do have to give a special shout-out to Fi and Andy. Fi usually does my pedicures, and she always does a lovely job with my feet leaving much smoother than when I came in. Everyone does a good job, but when Andy does my manicures, my nails - whether gel or regular polish - stay for much longer than anyone has ever been able to get them to stay (including when I was paying over $60 for manicures that were just gel nails and no massages/lotion/etc.). I am not sure what his secret is, but it works. Also, if you like looking at and trying new colors like me, they have so many options and are constantly getting more. Right now they have a new collection called The Mermaid Collection, and the colors are spectacular! The hardest part is always picking the color. They do get busy at times, so it is a good idea to make an appointment, especially if you are going with a few people or have limited availability. They have the staff (and have recently added more awesome people to the staff) to accommodate, but not everyone is always there unless it is a weekend or they are expecting to have a lot of people with appointments. I have been able to walk-in several times on my own though (sometimes I have to wait, but it's usually not too long and definitely not long enough to settle on a color). If you pay cash, they do also have a stamp card, so that's a nice bonus. read more

I walked in for a pedicure with no appointment and was able to get seated promptly. Ask for Mimi because she is an Angel and really takes her time. I can see how some people may lose patience if seeking brisk services. But, if you are looking to escape for awhile and melt into a massage chair chair while you treat yo self... This could be your spot! Mimi did a Spa Pedicure, which included wax and hot stones. I paid extra for gel polish. Very clean salon and courteous staff. Pricing felt fair. The chairs were pretty legit as well. Seemed like they had a lot of regulars, which is a good sign! Will return. read more

Loved the atmosphere, the music, the friendly service. My nails look good and they were thorough. My only complaint is that I get manicures bc I have arthritis. There was no massaging of hands or arms like most salons. Unless that was a mistake on his part, I'm not sure I'll return. read more

Everyone on staff is friendly and does a great job! Have had dip, gel, and regular mani/pedis done here and always leave looking great.

I had a full set of ceramic nails and tips. Sat for ages while they did new people coming in and left me for last, with chunky ugly mis shapen nails. It took three different people to get it done. A man did the weird bubble nails that looked like jellybeans atop my nails.Horrible shape and then they wanted to close for the night. Never again. The pedi was just fine. PS. We had a reservation well in advance read more

This place is awesome! They have every color polish on the planet! The job they did on my nails was probably the best I have ever had! I am completely satisfied! Plus I am in a wheelchair and it went perfect! Nothing was in my way I wasn't taking up a bunch of space because the nail salon was so small. It was quite roomy actually. I didn't catch the lady who did my nails name but she was fast and just perfect! I highly recommend this nail salon! read more

i brought in an inspo pic with an obvious colored base when i already had clear acrylic on my nails and i couldn't find a distinct color to match. Lucee said "here how about this" and did 2 coats of bubble bath and 1 coat of another darker pink and matched it perfectly! this is my 3 time returning and every time my nails have lasted! and for reasonable prices! just more reasons as to why you should definitely try them and stick with them! read more

Beautiful space and very clean! the set up is much more spacious than most nail shops. You aren't touching elbows by sitting right next to someone else, which since Covid, is very nice.

Sparkling Nails & Spa - regular manicure...regular polish, not gel and matched the photo of my request! pedi too - Nail Salons Near Me - Carmichael, California

First time here and my last. It was a very welcoming environment and super cute salon. I had overlay on my nails and acrylic on my toes, had I known what a nightmare that would have caused I would have skipped nail day all together. I have no idea who did my toes, older man, who seemed like he was completely inexperienced. He was talking to me like I was the dumb one when in fact he had no idea what he was doing. I've never had the message and lotion BEFORE getting my toes done. I went in at 3:40 and got out at 5:30 OFF TOES!!!! I wanted a fill on my nails and toes. He was taking SO long, one toe at a time, smacking the powder off my feet with his bare hands instead of using a brush to wipe it away. By the time someone caught on that he had no idea what he was doing he had removed one nail or paint in like an hour. A younger girl had him get up and said something to him and took over. When she asked if I wanted the length the same or shorter I said shorter and when she asked me how far I wanted to go she said it was too short??? She did the acrylic and made him come back to paint which was another 30 minutes. She asked what I wanted for my nails and when I asked for stiletto she said she couldn't do it because I had almond nails???? The fuck?? By the time she decided to come over for my nails I told her I was done after my toes. I couldn't be there ALL NIGHT. There was NOTHING luxurious about this place and like 4 people total working. They charged $123 for a fill and color change on my toes (basic pedicure package) and a basic pedicure package for my husband with clear polish that's already messed up. Also cracking jokes if my husband wants rainbow nail polish is childish. I will never be back. Ever. read more

Lucy did a dip nail and copied the picture exactly as I wanted. Tony did my spa pedicure. I did the classic and he was amazing! I felt he gave at least a 20 minute massage which I feel like you don't see as often anymore. Lucy is very attentive to detail and the power even went out in a windstorm and she still made everything happen trying to use whatever lighting she could find. They do great work! read more

My FAVORITE nail spot. I moved here a year ago, and I am picky about who I trust my nails with. I did some research, and I found the spot. I adore it, it is clean and professional, and everybody here is so kind. This has been my favorite nail set so far; Annie is a godsend. I recommend them x100. The space is very calming and very aesthetically pleasing. The music is always very soft, and it's a perfect place to relax and have a moment to yourself. I will not be going anywhere else for my nails. The prices are also fair and affordable! I'm very thankful for them. read more
