Mimosa that came with my pedicure
Meenie F.

I always have a great experience here! I got a pedicure with a complimentary mimosa. I appreciate the place is so well ventilated you are never overwhelmed with that chemical smells thay often permeate nail salons. Definitely will always come back!

Super clean, love the music and the nail techs are amazing I took my girls there for the first time and they explained everything to a dad that knows nothing. Friendly and paid great attention to detail 5stars!!!!!

Gel manicure
Jasmine D.

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.

Nanas full set for Christmas

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!!!

Lucy did my nails and did the best job free hand and she's amazing these were my raider nation nails

Almond shaped acrylic over natural nails
Laura Q.

I was recommended to the spot after noticing someone's very cute manicure. I've been here two times in the service has been great. It's a very clean and quiet location, tucked away in a cute little shopping center. I would definitely recommend coming here just make an appointment first as they are often busy when I walk in. I will be coming back. **3 week update nails are going STRONG

Joellen V.

Thank you so much Andy for doing such a fabulous job on our nails!! We will definitely be back! Tony did the best pedicure!!

Full Set Acrylic Nails

Vibe was so quiet and relaxing and everyone was so kind! Got a full set and pedicure and it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!!

Jessamy C.

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!

These are some recent nails by Andy!

We were in Sacramento for the day shopping for snowboarding gear and making a trip to the Apple…read moreStore, and since we had some extra time, I searched for a nail salon that could squeeze me in for a regular manicure and pedicure. I'm so glad I found Blush Nail & Beauty Bar! First of all, this place is BEAUTIFUL. The salon is spacious, bright, clean and relaxing, and the pedicure chairs are gorgeous and incredibly comfortable. The music was also SO GOOD! They were playing what sounded like 2000s R&B, and it honestly added so much to the whole relaxing atmosphere. I also really appreciated that they had a good selection of regular nail polish. I don't get gel, and not once did anyone question my choice or try to pressure me into upgrading to gel. That alone was refreshing. The original color I picked was very sheer, and I asked if they could put white underneath it. They explained that doing that could make it look streaky and recommended choosing another color instead. I didn't end up with the exact color I originally wanted, but I appreciated them explaining why rather than doing something they didn't think would turn out well. I still really like the soft color I ended up with. I chose their least expensive manicure and pedicure package, and I was honestly surprised by how much was included. The pedicure was wonderful -- probably the best foot massage I've ever had. It was so relaxing I was practically falling asleep! It even included paraffin wax. My manicure technician was wonderful too. She gave a great massage and was very gentle and patient with my cuticles. I can get nervous when my cuticles are pushed back and trimmed, and I felt completely comfortable here. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant, patient and welcoming. They also offer complimentary mimosas, wine and beer. I chose an ice water, and even that was delicious and refreshing. Overall, this was such a nice unexpected find during our Sacramento day. Beautiful salon, comfortable chairs, amazing music, great massages, friendly staff, regular polish without the gel pressure, and a genuinely relaxing experience. I would absolutely come here again the next time I'm in Sacramento

This was my second visit to Blush, and unfortunately, the experience was very different from my…read morefirst. I scheduled a visit a few days in advance for three people and four services and paid an $80 deposit ($20 per service) via Venmo. One person canceled that morning, but I was able to switch to a different service for myself that same day vs. losing my deposit. The two pedicures were fine. They were basic pedicures, and aside from the water initially being extremely hot, I was happy with the results. Because of the deposit, there was also no wait time. The head spa, however, was a completely different experience. This was my first head spa, so I was excited and expected it to be relaxing. Unfortunately, it was anything but. The massage was brief, and despite the menu stating that oils would be used, none were applied. During the double cleanse, the technician used her fingernails rather than her fingertips, which became painful. There was also an excessive amount of cleanser, and rinsing it out was difficult. The water temperature was extremely inconsistent--going from hot to ice cold--and water got into my ear. Instead of feeling relaxed, I was uncomfortable throughout the service. Afterward, my hair was not completely dry. When I asked for serum, I was told it had already been applied, and I had to explain that I wanted my hair fully dried and soft. Another staff member eventually finished drying it, and the end result was much better. The two services totaled $138, or $158 with a 15% tip. I shared all of this feedback with the front desk before leaving. They were receptive and said they would provide additional training. I was also told that the technician was new to the salon and has some communication issues. I appreciate that they listened to my concerns, but based on my head-spa experience, I would not return for that service. *********************************************************** FINAL THOUGHTS Making a reservation requires a deposit, but it does give you priority if there's a wait. PRO TIP: I visited on a Saturday around noon, and it wasn't busy at all. If you're coming in solo, you can probably skip the reservation and deposit. I've had two pedicures here, and the service was totally fine. No issues at all. I also clearly saw the technicians using Barbicide to disinfect their metal tools, although I didn't pay attention to where they pulled the drill bits from. Overall, the salon is CLEAN, which I really appreciate. Personally, I wouldn't get a head spa treatment here again. I was told they're having plumbing issues because the building is old and that their plumber hasn't been able to resolve the problem. However, based on my experience, I feel some of the issues were related to the technician and not just the plumbing. That said, I'd love to hear from others who have had a head spa here. How was your experience with the water temperature? Did you have a better experience with a different technician? I'd genuinely be curious to know!

I got the spa pedicure with gel and a cat eye gel manicure with builder gel as well. They had a good range of options! The location had plenty of parking and the inside is incredibly spacious with a good temperature. As time went on it got more busy with people who had appointments. Will definitely use again when I'm in the area

I've been coming here for pedicures, but this was my first time getting my nails done, and…read moreunfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. The biggest issue wasn't even how my nails turned out it was the cleanliness. The technician's supplies were in what looked like a makeup bag with products and tools thrown together. Nothing was organized, labeled, or stored in a way that is up to state board regulations. The tools and products appeared dirty, and I did not see any sanitizing being done. What bothered me the most was that after filing my acrylic, she dusted my hands off with a makeup powder brush that was visibly caked with old product and debris. It was clearly not clean, and I was honestly shocked that it was being used on clients. My nails turned out mediocre, but the sanitation issues were the real reason I won't be returning. Cleanliness and proper sanitation should be the bare minimum when providing services like these.
