This morning I went to get a fill and a pedicure. I chose the 50.00 pedicure and opted for the Cat Eye gel polish on my nails knowing it cost an additional 10.00. With the fill being 45 with 10.00 added that is 55.00. My pedicure was normal polish just 50.00. I was so tired by the time it was time to pay. I didn't realize I was being overcharged 15.00. The gal who will not be named says okay you pay 120.00. I did not think twice about paying and even gave her a 10.00 tip. When I got home and rested up a bit I realized I overpaid and gave a good tip. After dinner I decided to call them. The gal said yes honey 55 for nails 55 for toes thats 120.00 ( in her math equation) thats still 110.00 which means she admitted overcharging me. She told me to go in and she will explain to me how they charged me. There is no explanation for overcharging your customers and expecting a tip. I truly like these ladies but unfair is unfair. I told her in conclusion that I want a 15.00 credit on my next visit. And I don't think I will be tipping as much. So people be careful when you pay for services here. A gal just told me that awhile back overcharging was a habit in hollister at nail salons. They were taking their own tips. read more

If I can give ZERO STARS I WOULD. I use to come and see Jenny religiously for my eyebrows and my pedicures up until recently. Before I go into detail make sure that the establishment that you spend hundreds of dollars at yearly recognizes that your time is valuable and takes into account the APPOINTMENTS that you set up around your busy life style. With that being said about a month ago I had scheduled a appointment with Jenny. Arrived on time and waited for almost 20 minutes impatient due to a work event I walked out without saying a word. She knew I was there but failed to set me up in a chair and communicate with me. I received a call about 10 minutes later asking why I left. I told her I had an appointment with you and here you are calling 30 mins later after the fact. Very unprofessional. We then set up a time for me to come back. That day came and when I walked in I waited again. She then tells me oh I have appointment in front of you can you come back? Again unprofessional and extremely unorganized. Then again I set up my eyebrows and a pedicure appointment and again get the same treatment!!!! She does my eyebrows and all of a sudden has a bs excuse about an appointment for my pedi. Today called at 4:58PM not even asking for her specifically just saying I want a pedi and the owner told me to come in at 5:15. Let me not get started with how unprofessional she is. Mad dogging everyone and serving looks that can kill. Anyways, I walk in and legit sit down Jenny asked me what my name was I told her. She asked that I wait. Another young lady walks in and Jenny sits her down. Jenny approaches me and tells me sorry honey she has a appointment can you come back in a hour and I told her when I called I didn't request you. She didn't even acknowledge that I said that. She then tells me to just come back tomorrow and I told her no. Bottom line I will NEVER EVER come back to this place again. These woman are childish and extremely unprofessional to say the least. I will make sure my friends and family do not support this business any further. Take your business to Tip N Toe the ladies actually talk to you and are super sweet!!!! read more

Stiletto Nail - French tip almond - Nail Salons Near Me - Hollister, California

Service was horrible. The wait was forever, I wanted to cry leaving the salon because my nails were so bad.. I had little fuzzys cured into my nail polish.. Jenny (who did my nails and toes) did not care, the French tip is just sloppy work, the dip on the French tips are uneven. my thumb length is uneven.. I complained but they still charged me $120.. don't get me started on my pedicure. I asked for French tip and she started painting whole nail, and gave me attitude when I requested she fix it.. it's sloppy work as well by the way. I have nail polish where it's suppose to be clear..I'm paying for my nails.. you know. I deserve to leave happy.. I was very disappointed holding my tears back.. And I paid for the delux package pedicure , Not until I left I realized I didnt get paraffin wax applied to my feet :( I love that part.... Anyways it was a bad experience I won't be returning.. if you want your nails done here stick with Mary if you can.. nails look bad in person picture don't do justice read more

I really wanted to like this place because my usual nail tech is in San Jose, and this place is extremely close to where I live This place is all around awful. My experience here was so bad and I encourage everyone not to come here. From service to cleanliness, I would not recommend this place. My nail technician was Lisa for reference. Service: There were girls that came in during my service, one of them didn't know what she wanted, and instantly you could hear the other nail techs mocking her and making jokes about it each time the girl would speak to them. Horrible customer service. The actual job on me that was done was a simple nude to white ombre acrylic set. I know my nails are difficult as they grow a little crooked. Lisa made comments about how only my pinky nail was perfect and my other nails were ugly. I asked her to use curved tips because my nails grow upwards and I (and my usual nail tech in San Jose) think it looks better with curved tips as opposed to straight tips. Lisa said "I will try" and only took out straight tips. Lisa used so much glue that the tips were sticking to my skin. She finally noticed that the straight tips weren't looking very nice on my nails (as I had told her) so she ripped them off of my nails, and finally put curved nails. But only on the nails she said were ugly. Then she started applying acrylic.... I've taken a couple manicurist classes in beauty school, so I know that if you lay the acrylic properly, it helps you a lot in the long run. I also know that you are never supposed to put acrylic on your clients skin. And that she did. Lisa used a huge brush for my tiny little "ugly" nails, and then put acrylic on my nail, all the while getting it on my skin. I told her and all she said was "sorry" and didn't fix anything about it. Her application was so thick I felt the acrylic weighing my fingers down. And when she started filing, she scratched my nail and left the scratch. The filing was uneven on all nails, and so uneven that I had asked her to continue filing to even the surface out. Lisa just kept making my nails into a skinnier coffin shape instead of fixing the uneven acrylic on top of my nail. When I look at the side of my nails, even the coffin shape was jagged. The application of the tips were glued on crooked, the application of the acrylic was sloppy, the shaping was done so unevenly, and not to mention she charged me $20 extra than I was supposed to pay. When I was ready to pay I paid with card, she did not tell me my card would be charged an extra $2. An acrylic set is $40, but my total was $60. I asked why because that was $20 more than what I was prepared to pay. She said "your nails are crooked so it's harder. And ombre is extra and matte top coat is extra". Usually when you ask for something to get done on your nails, they let you know that it will cost extra. I didn't know difficult nails were up charged. I also didn't ask for a top coat. I specifically said, as she got a gel top coat out, "oh I don't want a top coat I like that it's matte rn" and she pulled out a matte top coat n said it would look prettier with the matte coat. I didn't see a difference but if she wanted to do that for me, no problem. She neglected to tell me she was charging me for a simple set and matte top coat. Not only was this matte top coat extra, but it was sloppily applied too! No two nails look the same. Cleanliness: Lisa was using tools out of her "soiled" kit to drill at my nails as she prepped them for acrylics. She also cut me with her uncleaned tools twice in the same spot. She then told me to wash my hands after she filed my acrylic set, "with no soap". I went to the sink and there was a towel there, not paper towels. Which I think that in this pandemic, is completely unsanitary. I came back to Lisa's station with wet hands because I didn't want to touch the used towel at the sink, and she asked why I didn't use the towel by the sink... three times. I told her that I preferred using paper towels, all three times she asked. She scoffed at each time I answered. I'm highly disappointed in this place. I gave it a couple days before writing my review but the more I look at my nails the more things I find wrong about them. This place is not clean, extremely rude, makes up their own prices, and unprofessional. I will not be coming here again. read more

Stiletto nails might be my new nail salon to go too! I usually went to Tip n Toe in town but for a while I was getting tired of the same nail colors. So I went today to get a fill and of course they don't answer the phone so I went as a walk in and they had no time to squeeze me in. I decided to go to stiletto since my sister recommended it and omg the colors they have are to die for! They have a good amount of colors to select from and they just got new colors for the fall which I loved ! They even had brown nail polish which I know some of the salons don't have they usually stick to the same colors for years ! Sammy did my fill and she was great! She was very gentle on my nails as well they did not overheat and she took her time. Definitely would recommend and will go back ! read more

Went here for the first time last weekend. Kelly was nice but mostly talked to the other workers instead of the client. For a full set I was out in about 1.5 hours. The nails are not same width or length, she eye balled everything. Was also shocked when asked if I wanted cuticles cut, since every place I've gone to that was automatic when getting a new full set, and wasn't told it was extra cost. Overall experience was okay but won't be going back. Update: I asked for a gel full set and just found out today that they only did acrylic on my nails. Don't go here they charge you for stuff they didn't do! read more

Zero Stars!! (August 2024) They were rude and made me feel crazy for simply requesting the Hot lotion massage which was listed on what I would get in the package I chose for my pedicure. Too add it was hot and flys were every where. "Nancy" was wiping her nose on her clothes and spitting seeds into her hand. Gross. So unprofessional and not relaxing. read more

Little shop in the corner next to dominoes. I called same day on a Friday for an appt, was about 10minutes late but still took me in just had yo wait for another 10minutes. I had the older gentlemen for a pedicure only no polish, did have to remove my gel from my previous pedicure. The gentlemen did a good job I picked the callus pedicure $35 came with hot stones too. He missed a few spots from the previous gel but gladly cleaned it up when I pointed out before my appt ended. What I liked about the shop was they were professional stuck to their job, no talking or anything just providing the service. The shop is small 6 pedicure seats, 2 manicures tables they offer waxing as well. Not sure what other services they offer but that's what I had observed. I just wanted to be in and out for a Friday self care pedicure. read more

Disgusting should get 0 stars. This place is so dirty. Everything about it is gross. Looks like a 5 year old painted my nails. And they cut me. Hope I don't end up with some nasty infection. Yuck. I paid 70 bucks for this shit. No massage; no nothing. Probably for the best. Had the two geriatric nail techs servicing me and it was a f*ing joke. Can't wait to report them to the health department. read more

After 1 year, I have to lower my rating from 5 stars. They cut too deep into the cuticles and the guy is very harsh on me and my friend. One of the ladies that gave me a pedicure ripped out a hang nail (instead of just clipping it down). I told her it hurt and she proceeded to just rip it out and proudly show it to me. My foot was sore for days after that. Their gel polish peels after just days. It used to be a great spot but now they just don't care. read more

Really unorganized and making a lot of people waste their time. Makes you wonder if any are actually board certified. Apparently only three people only know how to do nails on hands, everyone else only knows how to do pedicures. I called beforehand on a Sunday, get there they tell me to wait. I was very clear I would like to completely remove current set, get new set and I had a picture on my phone of what set I wanted. So they said ok and let me remove my current set in acetone. I prefer that because the method of getting a fake nail tip and digging it under your nail is really painful and super damaging. So I'm soaking my hands in acetone, meanwhile people are coming in asking about prices. They are all getting told five minutes. The lady was super rough and was doing a terrible rushed job. I said clearly I want coffin shape. She puts fake nails on and starts cutting soo short. Why would I want tips if it's soo short?? I told her it's too short and she got really annoyed. So she starts to tear them off! Mind you I already have them glued, nail glue is super strong! Then the other nail workers all start to laugh at me talk really loud all looking at me bursting out laughing and clearly talking smack about me in their own language. Like if none of you can help me then why are you all just looking at me laughing at me? Clearly they were talking trash about me for wanting a two tone design and none of them knew how to do it. I told her to just remove it because it was really sloppy and rushed job. She says to go back tomorrow with girl that knows how to do nails. Umm?? How are you working in a nail salon if you don't know how to do nails??? Like really? Then they tell me ten dollars. I told her and all of then I came in with the intention of getting my nails taken off and getting a new set. I'm not paying ten dollars because you did not even remove them properly. And tomorrow I have to get a new set because now I have no nail tips. Then I give them my credit card and she tells me six dollars because machine charges dollar. Yeah I'm only paying you five dollars and that's it, remove the fee. She did not want to, but I explained how I did not get my nails done and I wasted two hours in there. So they let me pay five dollars. If only one or two people can do nails are they licensed? Cosmetology classes teach hands, feet, skin care. read more

Worst manicure EVER! Should have learned my lesson when the male tech nicked my daughter's big toe and made it bleed a few months ago ( he didn't even apologize)...took weeks to heel. Today, same guy did my mani. Five nails were filed ragged and I had to refile them when I got home. Worst cuticle removal, ever...I do better myself...lots of loose cuticles just painted over. One nail was filed a completely different shape than the rest. On top of that, he painted my cuticles....I guess since it was a natural light pink color I had brought myself he thought I wouldn't notice. I do a better job myself and will do just that next time. Waste of time and money. read more

Ive been going to this place for a while now and they are not only bubbly and very kind with a very relaxed atmosphere, but they are very talented!!

My acrylics have never lasted as long as they do here as well! If I want them done a certain way I just let her know and she exceeds my expectations. Will definitely continue coming here for years to come! :) read more

This place was horrible. They were slow when I went in & the lady didn't know what shape I wanted when I said claw. She took forever to take my nails off painful & when I had a family emergency that I had to leave early they were trying to finish the job. No I had to leave I told them. What I disliked the most is they were telling my mom to stay and to finish even when I had said we were leaving. Rude, painful, slow, & clueless. read more

I get my eyebrows done here often when it's time too. They were usually so well with my eyebrows I had no problems but I went last Thursday in hopes of everything going well I left and I looked in the mirror at home and she cut me on my eyelid and in the middle of my forehead between my eyebrows right in the center. I now am left with two ugly scars on my face and not to mention they stung as well. I highly suggest not to come here for any type of waxing in this case, I'm so glad the cuts didn't get infected I was lucky. read more

I had a great experience here! Went in on a Friday afternoon for pedicure for my sister and I and got seated right away. The prices are fair and the ladies in there are very sweet and thoughtful. But the only fuss I have was the cleanliness of the place. I felt like it was cluttered and wasn't as clean as a nail salon should be. With that being said, I would go here again and give it another shot. Im not able to put my two cents in about acrylic nails, etc. but the pedicure was $20 and was pretty decent for being so cheap. read more

We came here based off the reviews here. Never going again. First red flag was the one bad review. Felt like I was living it in a way. Second red flag was when they miss charged the two girls as we walked in. They literally had a nail tech go outside and bring the lady back in. She even held her by the arm. All this after they had miss charged them twice. Third red flag was when a girl getting her pedicure had to explain that the nail polish they were using on her was old and thick. She had to explain what was wrong with the application. Now our experience was ok. My nails are ok. They could use another coat. She also pricked my skin, but did apologize for it. My daughter got a full set. They asked her what shape she would like. We then showed them exactly what shape she wanted from their display. Which were coffin type. They gave her pointed. My daughter also said that the lady doing her nails was intimidating and a little rough on her. read more
