My nail tech is no longer with this salon and I left as well. There was a lot of tension between the staff and the owner during my last few visits here. From what I hear from other friends who have been back, the quality of work has declined since most of the shop relocated to new shops few months ago. I really only visited the shop for Maryann and her daughters. I didn't like anyone else's work. Original review: I come every two weeks for a gel mani pedi ! I love the staff and always come out feeling amazing! They make you feel like a guest not just a customer. So many Gel colors and they always get new colors so you don't get bored.Great service!! Call first if you don't have an appointment just in case they have a rush. Love the card program they have, after a certain amount of visits you get $5 off your total visit which comes in handy. Exceptional work ! Would recommend !!! read more

Tan Nails - Teenage dream Gel #558 - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Looveee this place. Been here first time and got a really amazing experience with Mr Tan himself. Thanks so much! BTW the price is $40 for complete acrylic with white&pink powder+ gel top. He said next time the fill will be $23 at max Update after 2nd visit: I came back for pedicure this time and I chose the Lovely pedicure with the interest on 10min massage. It was overall OK, it wasn't a full 10 min intense massage, almost like "gentle rubbing" with a lot of pauses in between. I liked the cream/scrub they used, though. It smells good and makes my leg smooth. Pay attention to the price, as if you want gel polish, you need to pay $20 more on top of the pedicure price. I got the regular OPI nail polish, so it is included into the pedicure price. They have a lot of color choices. read more

Amazing! So nice and friendly and they take the time to have actual conversations with their customers. I really enjoyed how they were relaxed and patient while I picked out the color I wanted for my nails. The best part was when the employees were speaking in their language and would start to laugh, the woman doing my nails would explain to me what they were laughing about. It made me feel like I was included and not left wondering if they were talking about me or any of the other girls in the nail salon. Events where the employees speak in their native language always happens in other nail salons and it's gives off a horrible awkward vibe. (Anyone who often gets their nails done knows what I am talking about.) I will most definitely be coming back and would highly encourage anyone who wants to spend their hard earned money on great service and great nails to come to this nail salon. Update So... everyone I absolutely loved left and I followed. I will admit I did go back a couple times after I found out my normal nail techs left. The service was not the same. No one talked to me even though I tried to engage in conversation. I felt like I was an inconvenience because I came in and there wasn't enough nail techs to tend to the customers so the wait was really long. This used to be my favorite place to go but when all the original nail techs left the whole environment changed. Won't be going back... sorry Tan. read more

Every time I had come here it was $40 for fills, they burned my fingers and cut me and wanted to charge me $45. Mr. Said himself would always charge $40 but didn't go buy it when I came in the 3rd time. Would not recommend it after they said it was $40. I asked the lady why they charged me more after burning and cutting me, she just nodded her head & laughed. Would not recommend it all. read more

Tan is the best and the only person I ever go to for my nails he always does the best job and I always leave happy with my nails!! read more

Tan Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I walked in during a weekday and it was empty! The two employees were very friendly and welcoming. I sat down for a pedicure and a gel manicure and boy it was very relaxing! The work done was quality and I did not feel one ounce of discomfort. Definitely recommending to other friends in this area. Thank you, Tan Nails! read more

My mom and I got gel manicures here tonight and we will definitely be back! A few things they did to go above and beyond to accommodate us: For starters, I had my two month old daughter with me and she was not having it. She was crying and wanting to be held which is difficult when your hands are being held by someone and you have wet nails. The woman who was working on my mom's nails did one hand at a time while standing up at a weird angle so my mom could hold my daughter. She even managed to do a great job while my mom was bouncing around trying to keep the baby happy. She talked to her and tried to entertain her the whole time. Very sweet. I would not recommend bringing your small baby when you're having your nails done FYI. Big mistake on my part, but they made us feel comfortable and said several times that it was okay that she was crying. I tend to be overly nervous about making people irritated when my baby is less than cooperative but they were really great about it. My nails look awesome. The man who did them is a perfectionist and took his time with every coat. He even super glued where my nail had broken really low on the side. He also painted several of the polishes onto his own nail when I couldn't decide which color to use. Like I said, above and beyond! A few things to know about the shop: It's small and had only three employees working. We came in at 5:15 on a Thursday evening and got right in but several others had to wait behind us. They opened all their nail tools in front of us which is always good. They are reasonably priced. We will definitely come back! read more

New ownership and last two times they wanted me to pay cash instead of adding to my credit card. If I didn't have cash the guy would have missed his tip. They push to spend more for pedicures. Will not be returning. read more

I'm so happy I tried this place! I've been to a handful of other nail salons and they were either too expensive or didn't use a new kit to clean your cuticles with. But now I can finally say I have found a place that fits my nail needs perfectly! :) read more

Decided to try this place out this past Saturday after reading some really positive yelp reviews. The staff was incredibly nice and made sure you were comfortable and happy with the services provided. I'll be going back. read more

This place is amazing!!! Tan is awesome!!! Great service and great work that lasts!! Highly recommended!!!

I've been going to this nail salon for awhile, unfortunately it has seemed to decrease in its quality. Their older nail tech is extremely rude and commented that my nail choice was not cute and proceeded to give me the most unsymmetrical set of nails I've ever seen, and er filing is also very aggressive and left me with cuts. She also felt the need to yell at when I was asking her questions about their loyalty card. I'm very disappointed and I will not being returning unless they are under a different management. read more

I was recommended here by Christine who works at the bank up the street and im so glad I stopped by! The man that works here, don't remember his name sorry, is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and my nails have never looked better. The only downside is there is occasionally a wait but that's not really a bad thing because you know he's really taking his time to make sure your nails come out looking thier best! I would say to make an appointment if you're able to, if not just walk in it's for sure worth it! read more

Very unethical when dealing with pricing. My 3 year old niece wanted her nails painted at a salon for her birthday. They originally said $25 and were purposefully ambiguous in the pricing when we asked for gels and the total. They said it would be $5 more dollars and they would give us a birthday special. We ended up paying $40 total. We brushed it off and paid it. The gels came off the same day. We went back and they argued that it was regular polish not gel. The finally redid her nails and the polish came off yet again, the next day. Awful. read more

I haven't been to this salon since I first moved to Bakersfield a year and a half ago. I called to see if they had time for an acrylic overlay. They did so I went on over. I waited maybe 5 minutes then was seen by Maryann. She was a very nice lady and was very gentle with me and did an awesome job on my nails! I paid $35 for an acrylic overlay with gel..price is perfect and I love how you can't tell I have acrylic on. Definitely going back here read more

Absolutely DO NOT spend your money in this establishment! I went in last Wednesday for a fill...after sitting with the older woman for no more than 5 minutes she began insisting she could do nothing with the nails I had and needed a new set. I agreed to a full set and a polish change on my toes, it took 2 and a half hours. I got white gel nails that were way to long (after asking her to cut them down several times) and walked out spending 57 dollars with tip. 5 DAYS later I returned to Tan Nails with one nail that fell off and an ugly yellow/brown coating covering my white nails, I politely asked that she fix the problem because it had been less than a week since I was there, I was answered with a borage of excuses as to why my nails turned brown including I must have dyed my hair or used lotion that would cause this effect, I was also told it was the chemicals they use in their establishment that caused my nail to fall off. They refused to fix anything without me paying them an additional 18 dollars on top of the 57 I had spent one week prior. I was informed that she had been in the nail business for 30 years and even tho I have had white gel nails on and off for a year now (never with this problem) I was wrong and to bad pay it or nothing, I walked out. I am the type of person who will pay a lot of money for good service and instead of catering to a customer who would be loyal and return with friends who are also willing to spend a good deal of money...these people chose to be combative and give absolutely repulsive customer service. Very disappointed in my experience will never return and I hope someone can be spared the wasted time because of my experience, read more

Got my nails done by the owner for a wedding and they're amazing! Got my nails done in Bakersfield before and this place definitely tops all the rest I've been to so far :) Got acrylic with gel polish and they look amazing, what I love most is that the acrylic looks like my natural nails, big plus read more

I took my 3 yr old niece to get her nails done for her birthday. We got gels for her so they would last but the gels did not even last one day and on top of that they charged 45$ for it. My sister took her back to fix her nails the next day, since I had to leave town, and they argued with her about fixing them and tried to say it was just regular nail polish that was applied and we did not pay 45$. Eventually they did it but then all gels fell off completely. They obviously use cheap products or the gels would have lasted. Will not go back. Too expensive and poor quality. read more

Very upset with my service! They put the wrong color and when I tried to correct the technician she told me that was the color I picked! When it clearly wasn't! I didn't feel like arguing with her, or sitting there for another hour. I won't be returning. Very disappointed! read more

Oh man where do I start. . . Awesome place to go get a mani and pedi. I didn't have an appointment I went in as a walk-in they helped me right away. A male walked me to the pedicure chairs and started on my pedicure. No waiting at all. They offer different types of pedicure I choice the Lovely Pedicure witch, I LOVED. It include a foot scrub up to the knee, warm/hot towels treatment, 10 min message and of course the regular pedicure with the choice of color. I was very satisfied with my experience at this nail salon. I would recommend this place for sure. Even planning to bring my mom and sister next time. Will definitely be back. Thank you read more

Best nail salon I have ever been too! Pedicures were absolutely amazing and took their time ! My new nail salon is officially this one !

Awesome services! I came 3 three weeks ago for manicure gel and surprisingly they have a great variety selection of colors and samples. I chosen marble gel for additional $10 . It still looks so beautiful and it glows in the dark too . Loved it. Thanks Tan for warming service! read more

Tan Nails - I love Tan Nails Salon. Thank You Sam. I love my nails. You do some awesome work. See you next time.. - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

ive been coming here for the past 4 years. i refuse to go anywhere else. thank you anne! youve served me well everytime!

I am new to Bakersfield and tried this place out. I was unhappy with the shape of my nails and asked for an adjustment. When I told her a second time the shape wasn't right, the woman who was doing another customers nails told the girl who was doing mine it was my fault, twice. I asked the girl if she wanted me to show her the shape. She huffed and said it was fine and she'd do it. They still weren't right but I didn't want to continue arguing. A couple tips for them: 1. Shape one or two nails and ask the customer if they are right. Don't do the whole hand and assume, continuing to move on without asking the customer if they would like anything changed or adjusted. 2. Oval, squoval, square... whatever... If the customer wants you to round them out a little more and keep the top flat, do it! And if you don't want to, fake it. Acting annoyed and telling the customer they're wrong won't bring them back. I sure as heck won't be. I am incredibly unhappy, but it wasn't worth arguing more, not only with the woman doing my nails but with the other employee too! read more

Love this place! I've been coming here for about over a year and the guy does a good job with removing my ingrowns and pedicures. I had a problem with Maryann once with the white tip, but they were glad to remove the color and re-do it. Other than that, everything is great! read more

Ive been going here for about 6 months, and at first loved it, but the last couple months its been terrible experiences. First, only the two woman do good acrylic/gel nails. The owner did designs on my nails and they peeled off less than a week later. I decided to keep going but ask for one of the woman. My last visit was it though- in the middle of doing my nails the girl leaves to do a walk in eyebrow wax, then because she did that it made me go over on time and her next appt came in, so she completely rushed me. The next day one nail popped off, and a week later my nails are lifting and turning yellowish brown at the tips (I got white painted tips). Now im back to looking for a new place. I really like the location too and the prices so I'm pretty bummed! read more

My experience there was great. I had lost my normal nail person and was looking to find a new place and have found it! they give you what you want. At first there was some confusion on what i wanted to get, but after we all understood what it was i wanted they did it without hesitation. They gave me an awesome polish ontop of the wonderful service. I am very picky about my nails and they passed my test with flying colors!! I will for sure be going back. read more
