Love love love this place!!! Thanks to my good friend for the recommendation. Peter and all the staff is amazing! DUE TO COVID THEY DO HAVE NEW RULES... LIKE FACE MASK...MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY WILL NOT TAKE YOU SAME DAY. Be patient things have changed... so if you need pedi, mani, etc make an appointment and expect a wait!!!!!!! Absolutely no WALK IN's. But you will love this place. Like I said be patient everyone needs these essentials after so long!!!! They are following strict guidelines, they disinfect after every customer and make sure you feel safe! read more

I dread making this review but it is important enough to be posted. I've been a faithful client here. On & off through the years (I had a job for several years where I couldn't get manicures) but I would always make this my first choice spot. Over the summer, I came to get a gel pedicure. The tech dug deep into my nail, causing traumatic onycholysis. Now there is a HUGE separation of my nail from the nail bed on my big toe. It is going to take most likely over a year for it to heal. I went back after to get my next pedicure & I pointed it out to them. I had two people tell me it's because I had poor hygiene & let water get under the nail. Absolutely not. Because of that interaction, I stopped coming here. I've been going to a wonderful nail spa by my house. However, yesterday I decided to come back because I needed to remove the gel from my fingernails & it was on the way of where I needed to go. Simple enough. They can't mess that up. However, I was mistaken. Upon finishing the removal of the gel, the lady who I'm assuming is the owner begins filing my nails. Sure, that's normal. She jams the filing board under my nail because she lost her grip. It kinda hurt but I didn't think anything of it. She then quickly tries to rush me out. Doesn't clean up the gel powder & dust from my nails. Okay fine, I'm the only client in here right now but sure, I'll take my leave. I pay, get in the car & saw I have traumatic onycholysis again! I am completely shocked. Not only is this very sensitive but it is another issue that I need to deal with & baby for months because of their negligence. I can not believe it. I will not be returning. It was also alarming to walk in at 5 pm & I was the only customer. I should've left. I can't believe I have another damaged nail, this time on my finger which I'm sure will get beat up in day-to-day life. I will recommend for anyone & everyone to steer clear from this place. I've been coming here since 2019 & now? Never again. read more

Very nice service. They take good care of you. I'm always happy with my pedicure. When I leave. Gina is my favorite but she was on vacation yesterday so a gentleman did my nails and did a wonderful job and great massage. I love the relaxing music they play in there and the chairs are very comfortable. read more

The service was absolutely terrible. It started with them burning my toe with a file, and I said 'ow that burns' and he kept doing it. My gel polish has already come off a day later and for my acrylics I am never one to say I don't like my nails to somebody but I asked him if he could change a color on my acrylics and he said let's just take them all off and started clipping my nails off and said 'it doesn't take two hours to do nails' even though I had only been there for 45 minutes. He was very rude and very unprofessional and I only saw two people who had actual cosmetology licenses and overall even my boyfriend said the vibe was terrible read more

If you want a friendly and professional experience for an extremely reasonable price, then I highly recommend Steri. It is also very clean and Nina is the best! read more

They always do the best job at cleaning and trimming my nails. I've been here multiple times over the last 2-3 years and haven't had an issue. They do push gel so just be prepared to stand your ground if you only want polish. read more

Great place. Very clean and everyone is super nice. Prices are good just like anywhere else.

Thank you Nina for a beautiful manicure and beautiful nail art! This is my new favorite nail spot, they do an amazing job, and wasn't too pricey! I was done in less than an hour :) 10/10 read more

I have used this nail place in the past and it was ok. Never Great but good enough to return most times when it was time for a fill. The last 6 month have been going down hill with ever changing prices at end of service, etc Today, John was my nail tech. He was rough and careless and used the electric drill and file so much my fingers are killing me. Before putting polish ON, he put straight Acetone on my nails!!! Then after one layer of polish, more acetone on the polish and the sides of my fingers.... ALL 10!!!! He repeated this step twice. I left with red puffy throbbing fingers. No, I don't recommend this nail place for any reason!! read more

The nail salon is clean and calm, there is regularly relaxing music and videos playing. My nails always turn out beautifully

I love the customer service, I feel like family. They always do a great job, I've never left unhappy. Love love love! read more

I as very underwhelmed by this place: service was disappointing and just an overall less than stellar experience. I will note that I am from Houston and my wife and go together to get pedicure once a month or so. Good for your feet and why not. So for $20 at this place they cut my nail, trimmed cuticles and gave a very quick massage. In and out in under 20 minutes. If you are main and want a buff it is an extra $5 even if you are not getting polish. Maybe this is the standard, but seems unnecessary. Another area of disappointment was I was interest in one of the better services and told the lady, but this never came to fruition. She did the basic service and said she was done. This was fine as I will already meh on the place. I will say the place was clean. read more

I asked the nail tech if he could do a design before he started and he said yes. After putting on the base color he attempted the design and it looked awful. I said I would rather not have the design at all but unfortunately the base color was already set (gel) they said if I wanted to change the color I would have to pay for an entire new service. Not sure how that's my fault when I asked the guy at the beginning if he could do the design and he said yes but then he couldn't?? Disappointed but not unexpected, the quality has been going downhill here for awhile. read more

So happy with my nails! Fast and high quality work. Thank you Kim! Pedicure was great too. Done by the gentleman that works there (didn't catch his name). read more

So so so nice. Haven't had anything fancy done here but I loved my pedicure and my nails! It was a little bit pricey but the service was so fantastic and warm and welcoming that I felt like they went above and beyond to make me happy. I hope they stay in business for a long time. I've come here like five or six times over the years and have never been disappointed or had a misstep. It's so relaxing in there with the music and the soothing videos on the tv that it feels like a spa. Awesome quality. Awesome people. read more

I am extremely disappointed in the way I was treated today at this nail salon. I had my four month old son with me, in a baby carrier mind you, and he needed to eat, and even though it is legal to breastfeed in public in all 50 states, an employee brought out a large towel and attempted to cover my baby without my permission, scaring him and causing him to unlatch. They also allowed other customers to talk about how gross it was and stood there staring at me. Extremely rude, inappropriate, and actually illegal. read more

I picked one of the fancier pedis with gel and it felt so rushed and half ass'd that I should have just paid for a basic one. Pedicures are expensive anyway so you figure they would do a better job. Also the man that did my pedicure was not careful at all and kept hurting my toes. One more thing..I wanted to use my debit card. The man said there would be a $2 charge and told me to use the atm machine instead because it was only 35 cents. Lies. It was 35 cents PLUS a $2 fee. Dont lie to your customers. read more

Had an ok experience. Up until the lady doing my nails dropped the tool she was using on the floor.. picked it up and continued to use it- which typically I would have made a huge deal about but I honestly wasn't in the mood. So I validated it by telling myself "it's fine it just fell on the floor for a second" or "the floor looks clean?". But yeah- it bothered me.. and made me question how clean this place actually is? Do they even wash their tools in between guests? Yikes.. Then when it came time to pay, she gave me back a $5 bill for my change & I asked her to change it to singles & she acted like she didn't understand me- and pocketed my $5 bill.. ok cool. So 3 stars .. & that's me being nice. Hopefully next time they won't steal my money and use dirty tools. read more

This is my first time at this location and I can say I had a terrible experience. There is a male employee that was unprofessional and impatient with my niece. He was also rude towards me the whole time I was there. DO NOT get your nails done with him. read more

This is my second trip to Steri Nails. The first time I came was because I'd gotten a staph infection that could have been contributed to having had a pedicure at another salon so the name caught my eye. I wanted that extra assurance of sterile tools and tub. The pedicure I got the first time was "nice". I had an injury on one of my calfs so I know that he would not be massaging that calf, but he barely even massaged my feet and other leg. Great polish job and I was on my merry way. Now I've decided I wanted artificial nails again, but only if I could find someone that did silk wraps because they are much thinner and it's easier to pick things up with them. I looked them up online and they do provide the service so when I asked for it, the manicurist said I would have to wait until this other male manicurist could do it. So I got my pedi and waited for him to finish with another client. I told him I wanted silk and he said "no, no, acrylic thin too." Even though I knew better I let him do acrylics. Then talked me into gels on top. I chose a bright red but the gel red is too transparent and you can see my natural nails underneath. One thing I really hate is when I ask for something and you say yes I can do that and then still go about doing what you want. I won't be going back even though the people are friendly. read more

I went in for a mani pedi. I asked for a half color design with half glitter on one toe. The designs weren't even at all. I figured i could fix it at home. For my nails i got a simple french tip but to my dismay they were super uneven and running. I got charged $55 for everything overall and still tipped. I had to redo everything at home. read more

Their always so nice and give great customer service. They do detailed work and don't try to rush you in and out! read more

Such a an amazing experience. I had been one before so when nail Salons we're allowed to open I knew this is where I wanted to get my toes done. I call a day before and made an appointment. It's by appointment only unless they have an opening. I would make an appointment just to save you a wait. Everything is social distance and plexiglass at the stations. Each station is cleaned before being used. They take your temperature at the door and you sign a wavier about Covid19. Stating your acknowledgment of risk. That's normal now. I'll be back for sure! Oh and make sure you wear your mask! read more

This place is exactly what you get for the price. They get the job done, but not how you might want it. I got an acrylic/gel manicure fill 3 weeks ago and the manicurist was doing a fantastic job until halfway through the polish, a group of ladies walk in. Suddenly she does a rush job to get my nails done. Some of my nails didn't come out smooth. They were bumpy like something got caught in the polish and other nails polish was never smoothed out evenly. I didn't catch it until after I left. When I went to get the nails removed, they didn't use a bowl of acetone or any acetone. He drilled off the color (like normal) then just picked off the acrylic off my nail! This was my first time getting acrylic off and so I didn't know otherwise. It wasn't until after, that my mom was shocked they didn't use acetone. I did some google searches and it's actually important to use acetone to make the fake nail softer and have it come off easier. I would say 3 stars for design - average 2 stars for acrylic removal read more

The staff is extremely friendly and do an amazing job! Prices are cheaper than other places that I've been to and don't do as good of a job. read more

PSA announcement: I don't usually write reviews. The last 3 reviews I have done were raving about the wonderful service I had received. But today I had the WORST service EVER....and I felt it would be unjust to the public if I didn't write the following. I walked into an empty nail shop and figured I'd give it a shot. I was helped by a guy who didn't give me his name. From the beginning he seemed irritated that I wasn't getting gel. He showed me the menu of services and then when I said no gel, he quickly took the menu away from me and started speaking in his language. Frustrated. He spent almost NO time on my pedi. After he did the callus remover he threw the stone into the water right at my shin!!! He took my cuticles off so roughly...I have patches of skin peeling that are away from my cuticles. He wasn't even looking at what he was removing. Literally 15 mins later, he moved me to his 'nail station.' I was unable to sit on the spa chair because I wouldn't get gel. The nail station was worse. First thing he said...'why don't you do gel?? It's better.' I said no my don't like gel. He mumbled something in his language pulled my hands roughly towards him and continued picking around my nail bed (pics I will post) you can see he wasn't even getting my cuticles!! He rushed and rushed...then 'finishing' my nails he said 'now you go sit by the outside chairs' As I sat there, I noticed my nail looking beyond horrid. I walked back to him to get his attention. He ignored me. I was going to walk out but I thought no, if he saw this he wouldn't even let me leave in the condition my nails were in. So I went back over to him, to show him. Without saying anything, he got up for doing the next customers pedicure and took me to his nail station. He said 'what's wrong?' I said 'you can't you see what's wrong???' He said 'oh it's just the top coat.' Put the top coat on one nail and got up. I said it's on all the nails...'look.' He sighed out loud....and sat down abruptly. At that point I had been beyond patient...vocalizing my issues without any resolution. I just got up and left. Honestly I wish I didn't tip and I'm going to see if I can dispute this charge on my credit card. If I can save someone a trip here...my time spent writing this has been well spent. Just look at he pics...yes...he saw my nails and let me walk out with them like this. His only comment to me was...that's why you should have done gel!!! What?!?? There is no way I would have spent an extra $35 dollars on top of such terrible service. Lesson learned...I will never step foot in here again!! read more

I've been coming here for about a year now. I finally found a place that I can feel welcome and that can meet my standards when it comes to nails. I've been pleased every time with full sets and pedicures. They actually listen to what you want and don't pressure you into what you don't want. read more

I love this place! As a diabetic I'm wary of nail salons but their name says it all. One of the cleanest places I've been to and I will continue to return. Always happy with their services! read more

Gina helped me. She was so nice & I like her work!! I would give 5 stars. I'm from LA visiting Bakersfield and this is my first time & I love the service! read more

Dishonest and rude. I always pay $30 for a fill and $10 for the painting of my 8 year old daughters nails and toes. Today, without telling me prices were raised, they charged me $35 for my fill and $20 for my daughters nails!!!! The woman doing my daughters nails was very rude and harsh with my daughter so much so that I almost stopped her midpaint. It's no wonder thar salon was empty when everyone else had a wait. I should have known right then. read more

Terrible service, very rude employees, attendant finish my pedicure in 15' didnt even look like I had a pedicure. I was very upset when I noticed how bad my nails look, One Male attendant came to me very aggressive like he was to push me out of the facilitywhen I was trying to express what a bad job was done on y nails. I felt humiliate among all employees. I was the only customer there. Now I wonder why. There was. Nobody else waiting, They really should of never treated me the way they did. The women who did my pedicure, 50 ish, was even yelling at me when I asked her if she could at least go back and remove cuticules and buff my nails. Unbelievable experience. Avoid going here, people who don't want to do a good job, should just stay home. I still need to get a pedicure since my nails legit were just cut, colored all in 15' for my $25.00. Terrible experience! read more

Great service, Peter and Gina are very professional and efficient. I'll be back for sure.

Great pedicure! I went after my plans to go to another place didn't work out (they closed early). My daughter and I came in close to their closing time and they were super friendly and took us in. They took their time and gave is the best pedicure we have had in a long time! read more

Bunch of lies, they ripped me off with money. They told me one price and then when paying added $6 more. Never again. Don't go there.

Peter did such an amazing job, he was very detailed and shaped my nails to perfection. Other salons have been nightmares sometimes and I always leave picking at the skin around my nails because something is always wrong. But I can explain how happy I am with the result. I came in with some messed up acrylic nails from another place and he was able to fix and shape them and make them look like some professional Kylie Jenner looking nails. I have finally found my go to salon after going to so many bad ones! read more

I had a basic mani and it was the worse one I have had in my 30 years of getting my nails done. My daughter had her acrylic taken off with a mani. The guy was rude and ripped them off. She even slapped this hand and said to stop. My husband had a pedi and the old lady cut up his toes. I now remember why I never went back when they first open their doors years ago. They don't massage you, they rush you out, and they don't do a good job. read more

Today was my first time every going to this place and I'm so happy I did. Gina does a great job. She did my pedicure today and she was so sweet and made sure that my toes looked their best. Will definitely be coming back to see her. read more

If you're a perfectionist who loves acrylic nails, but have a hard time finding someone who does it exactly how you want, And like a good price, go to Steri Nails! I stopped in on my lunch today to make an appointment for when I got off work, and they were able to fit me in. I didn't catch the gentleman who did my nails, but he took so much time and care into cleaning my cuticles up, gently filing because I said I have sensitive nails, and matched up all my nails with both hands so they were all symmetrical and perfect (you would think most places would do this but the other 8 places I've been to haven't, and get grumpy when you ask) and he understood when I said to leave them unpolished so I can polish them at home. 11/10 I'll be coming back for my fills again and again! Highly recommend to anybody looking for perfect acrylic nails for a freaking bargain! read more

I just left this place 5 minutes ago and I was only there for 35 min. I took my 5 year old for a nail and pedi polish so her and I could enjoy a nice evening but the experience was horrible! Let me first begin by saying how the man that helped me was very irritated to begin with, I chose my color and he had already started me on one foot when he said the color I had chosen was too light for my skin. So he changed the color to a darker one that I didn't even like. By the time he got to my daughter he was already very frustrated and remember I mention she's only 5 years old!!! He was taking the glitter off her little toes in a very rude way which made her twitch out of pain and kept telling her not to move. Now if he would have been gentle on her little toes she wouldn't have been moving to begin with. He then had the nerve to tell her if she moved one more time he would call the cops on her!!! What kind of disgusting human being would say such thing to a 5 year old. It was the worse experience for her and me. I am very angry and I wanted to slap him so bad but it's best I tell you guys to be careful with this rude motherfucker who kept complaining and had such a bad attitude with both us. I could have taken anything but the way he treated my 5 year old was absolutely ridiculous. This is by far the worse place I have ever been to. I believe he is either the manager or the owner of that place. I paid $53.00 for horrible pedicure and customer service. Please don't go to this place with your little girls. I had to leave half ways because my little girl was scared he was going to call the cops. I am very very angry with this man. read more

Steri Nails & Spa - This is the man who treated my 5 year old rude! Worse place ever - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I'm sorry that some of the past reviews are not that great. It all seems to stem around one of the older males that works there. I think I've only seen him a few times. However, the owner, her husband, and her sister are all very friendly and professional. I've been going to NGina every two weeks for over a year now. She knows exactly what I want and I value her opinion. We laugh when it comes to my choices in colors for my toes and fingers. When I make a bad color choice, she always finds a better color I should have chosen and my nails always look great. If I'm not happy, she fixes them without a fuss. If I find something wrong later, she has me come back to fix them. Again, without a fuss and no at no charge. Her sister and her brother-n-law are the same way. I never see a disappointed client leave their stations. And they all do gel AND acrylic. Whatever the client asks for. If you're not happy, talk to the owner. Not the older guy and not the older woman. The owner, she sits up front at the first station. NGina sits at the second one and she can help you too. I recommend Steri Nails for good nail service. read more
