This is a long story. But Templeton Nails and Spa SAVED THE DAY!! THANK YOU TEMPLETON NAILS AND SPA!!!! (BY TRADER JOES) FORGET ABOUT SKY NAILS (BY TARGET) So frustrating. I went in for a manicure to Sky Nails (by target). Asked if they could add a flower to one of my nails. showed her a picture she said "yes I can do that. once it came time for the flower she said "I can't do that I will go to jail". I left very disappointed and will not be returning I stopped by Templeton Nails and Spa (by trader joes). They laughed when I told them my story. They said "we can do that flower" They wanted to charge me $5.00, I paid them $20.00 for taking care of me! Try Templeton Nails (by trader joes) great quality and customer service! read more

This is the strangest salon! - there's never anyone in the salon - you can get a same day appointment which to me says a lot about a place - they , husband & wife, are all about the money - not very friendly - don't offer beverages - say something to you if you don't tip what they expect NOTE: My notion of tipping is for top-notch service - not what they provide. Needless to say after yesterday's confrontation, I will NEVER go back there. read more

Love coming to Templeton Nails & Spa. Always happy with my nails. Have always been able to call and schedule appointment for the same day or the next day. The owners are nice and friendly. I just wish they did nail art. read more

Tina is amazing, so sweet and nice. Incredible, fast work. I got a gel French manicure in about 30 minutes. Lasted about a week, but could've been longer if I was more careful. Beautiful work, great experience at this spa. Highly recommend! read more

The price was good, $50 for a fill, she did stiletto shape great, but I paid extra for cat eye, and the magnet did not work, so I did not get the shimmer effect. The salon was a bit dirty and old, and my fill only lasted 2 weeks. read more

I got a pedicure by Tina, she did a great job and I loved that the salon wasn't crowded also so close to Trader Joe's so one park and 2 errands done. I am going to try Tina for gels. read more

My experience was excellent. Got in last minute on a Sunday and learned later they had a cancellation. Tina gave a great pedicure from start to finish. I chose the spa pedicure and it felt amazing. Tina was great about checking the temperature with me making sure it wasn't too hot, or in the beginning not warm enough. The massage was very relaxing. The atmosphere was quiet and the TV program with islands and the ocean was soothing. Even with another customer waiting and it being only Tina and her husband James, who was working on my daughter, she didn't rush the job. The other customer did say they were early but I know some places that would still rush. I am posting the price sheet and the spa add ins for the the more deluxe pedicures (Recent as of 11/5/2023). Tina was very nice and friendly. I will definitely come back and visit. read more

It depends on who does your nails. Tina - yes. Husband- not so much. When he has done my nails the last 2 times, the gel polish fell off my nails in a couple of days. read more

I got a pedi and my wife got a mani & pedi. Owners were very charming and nice and turned us on to the fresh sushi at Pier46 next door. Saturdays only! We ordered while they finished the work and took it home! The pedi was excellent- needed it before a 2 week trip to Greece and Croatia where I would be walking a lot and wearing sandals too. My wife was very happy with the pedi and mani turned out great! Will be back! read more

After a couple negative experiences in Paso at nail salons I decided to drive the extra mile and get a pedicure down in Templeton. First off my appointment was at 10 and they took me immediately and respected my appt time. Secondly my toes can be tender and James listened, he was gentle and took his time with my incredibly overdue pedi. Salon was clean and relaxing. Will be going back! read more

This was just an "ok" experience. My get peeled off the same week I had it done. Not worth the money.

I love the pedicures here! Tina performs miracles (honestly!) as she makes my nails look amazing! I have one split nail and when she is done you can't see the damage at all! The atmosphere is calm and lovely. I just love my time here! read more

This is my 3rd time getting my nails done at Templeton Nails & Spa, I really want to like it for its convenience but I'm always left feeling disappointed. The sales style of the gentleman operating the salon is less than appealing. First he asked me over the phone if I could bring cash and then after I arrived and had chosen a nail polish, told me that the polish I had chosen was a $5 upgrade. It was an OPI brand and EVERY other option had no label and was unrecognizable. When I asked for a similar color polish, I was given a polish that I was told was a good polish. Three days later all of my polish started chipping and cracking. One of the nail technicians was coughing which I tried to tune out but left feeling very uncomfortable. Needless to say, even with it's convenient location, 3rd time was still a bust and I won't be returning! read more

Went in for a dip manicure, and the owner sold me on their new poly gel. Terrible job on the manicure, was incredibly thick, as she put way too much on my nails. Then worse, when she put a gel top coat on, she totally flooded my cuticle and set it in the light like that. When I got outside and saw it, I went back in to show her, and all she did was file one edge of it, even though nearly all of my cuticles had gel flooded into them, and she wouldn't fix or re-do them. $70 for the worst manicure I have ever had. I would not recommend this place. She also told me that the nails would last 2-3 weeks, and I could get them filled like acrylics, but 2 days later, one of my nails was already popping off. Not a bad looking salon, but it is dark inside (probably because they don't want you to see how bad your nails look) and they still have a lot of "pandemic" signs and plastic barriers in place. read more

I was shocked by the customer services here. TLDR, I was yelled at because when I saw they used the wrong nail color the woman yelled at me (my friend waiting outside the salon heard) and blamed me. Then proceeded to not attempt to fix the mistake. I am upset because I gently asked and to be yelled at was not ok. This is after they knew we had 3 people who's nails needed to be done and scheduled an appointment when there were only 2 nail techs (so I waited 45 min to even start while the other 2 people were rushed through). In addition, when my mom did not like her color, at the first nail, rather than change immediately, the nail tech insisted she will like it and proceeded. When she still did not like it, he ignored her request to change it. The paint job itself is pretty average and I would have not left a review. But being yelled at for something that was gently brought up was not professional at all. And now I have to wear a color that I am not happy with to my family members wedding where memories will be recorded for a lifetime. Me and my family will not be returning here because unprofessional service. Side note, it is not clearly written anywhere, but it's also cash only. ***Edit, hours post pedicure, the toe nail paint rubbed off. Not sure what was mixed into the paint that wouldn't enable it to properly adhere to the nail. There was plenty of time to dry at the salon since she was done before I even started. Update: less than 24 hours later, my gel nail has peeled off. read more

I walked in for a brand new set on bitten up fingernails. I was seated with Kim and let me tell you what a treat that was. It took some time, but she gave me the most beautiful set of nails I think I've ever had. She paid attention to important details like making sure every nail matches the other in length and shape. I'm very fixated on my hands, I would have noticed any flaw by now and been obsessed with it. I can't say it enough, they are perfect. I will absolutely be back. I would recommend anyone calling for an appointment as they were very busy and it appears that I just got lucky to be squeezed in. read more

I had a gift certificate for 50.00- which is why I picked the place to begin. Nice location near Trader Joe's. I decided for a 55.00 "more than regular pedicure" and they still charged me another 15.00, plus an atm fee of 2.50 and 1.00 online fee for this regular polished pedicure. The additional charges: 10.00 for nails and 5.00 for my toes toes, to take off the gel that was previously on. My issues is they didn't vocalize that it was somehow 15.00 more for the service. Like 55 plus that 15, or the withheld no card payment issue regarding the atm fees/cash only I didn't expect that the gel polish be free to take off, but charging me five dollars to take off the toe polish after a $55 pedicure is upsetting, and is ridiculous... with the 10 you charged for my nails ...causing your shitty review. My recommendation is to go somewhere else and save some money. The plus side of the rip off is --you can also tack on another 10.00 and get yourself a glass of wine from next door. Also though, the lady messed my toe up and didn't take off and re paint my toe nail, she just brushed it over again. If it was 30.00 understandable, but 70.00 doesn't leave any room for errors read more

Templeton Nails & Spa - Messed up pedicure that didn't get fixed - Nail Salons Near Me - Templeton, California

I've got a lot to say about this place. Went in and spent $135 with tip for pedicure and nails, which included a design. Less than one week later I was back for a broken nail and gems falling off the design. They fixed these things free of charge but had the nerve to mention that I only gave them a four star review on yelp. I told them they were lucky I didn't downgrade the review after needing to drive back 30 minutes for them to fix my nail and design. Now less than a week after they fixed it, yet another broken nail and more gems falling off. I told them when I went back the second time to take the gems all off if they weren't going to stay on since I like my nails to look nice for more than a week or two at a time. They insisted on fixing it. I moved from Sacramento about two months ago and had high hopes for this place based on their reviews. But I don't have the time nor money to go back an hour two ways each time the nails are messed up. My nail tech in Sacramento had my nails looking great 30 days, or more each time, so it's clear this place is not doing something right. Not to mention I paid about 20% more here for the nails to be breaking and the design to not last. DO NOT RECOMMEND Update 10/28. Business owner contacted me twice from personal non-business account to harass me for this review. read more

Went here this morning with my mom and little sister for the first time. The guy working there said that they've been in business (by Trader Joe's) for 3 months now. The problems I had with this visit were: 1. We made an appointment, then 2 out of 3 of us had to wait for 30min until we could be helped. 2. They use outdated menus listing their prices for services. The lady told us at the end that the menus being used were old and that the price was actually higher than what was listed. This is very misleading and deceiving. If the store is only a couple months old why would they be using "old" menus?? Also, while I was getting my acrylic manicure done a different customer was leaving and paying via Venmo (which I have never seen at a nail place before). She also was confused at the end price the lady gave her. The customer said that the last time she got her nails done the exact same way it was $85 but now the lady was trying to charge her $100. To which the Nail lady replied that the person who did her nails just must've not told her about the extra charge for whatever service she provided. 3. Their credit card machine "wasn't working". I find this one interesting b/c it could be true that the credit card machine wasn't working. However, they do have an ATM machine in the store that I noticed upon entering. I don't really see a reason for an ATM machine in a nail salon. If you are expecting to spend a lot of cash at the salon, you would already be carrying the cash with you before you get to the store. The only reason they would have for having the ATM in the store is if multiple customers keep needing to withdraw money to pay for their services. The machine also charges you $2.50 each time to withdraw and you can only withdraw up to $200 at a time. If your total was over $200 like ours was you'll pay an extra $5 b/c this nail place wants cash. Sketchy businesses often times like to deal in all cash so they can evade paying taxes and reporting to the IRS. I am not saying that is the case here necessarily, but I would not be surprised. 4. I feel as though they could've done a better job on my acrylics. I still love them don't get me wrong! However, there are little markings underneath that they didn't take the time to clean off from my last acrylic nails. There are also little white powder marks that I don't think should be there...My pedicure w/gel was alright, I'd say fairly standard. 5. They're website is outdated. They have an expired coupon for free beverages on their website from 2018 that can be misleading. It's the first thing that pops up when you visit their page. They claim that they do not know how to delete the post on the website. I don't know how big of a deal this one is for most people. Personally, I am used to nail places offering this service for free usually. It didn't really bother me but I will admit that I was confused at first. Overall, I am never going back and I would not recommend this place to anyone. I gave a 2 star review instead of a 1 star b/c I wouldn't say it was a complete disaster. I do have fairly nicely done nails now and my eyebrows/lip waxed, so how mad could I really be. I usually don't write bad reviews but I felt as though all of this needed to be said. Thank you for taking the time to read this review, I hope it helps! :) read more

Today was my first time in, looked around at all the nail salons in the area but this looked the best, called in and they were able to fit two of us in for full sets. It was worth the wait, we came in 15 minutes early and they had three other people getting pedicures done but they sat us down almost right away. I got Tina and she was friendly and kind right away, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she was confident she could do it. We talked the whole time and she made it as fun and comfortable experience, she's been a nail tech for 30 years and does her job flawlessly, she asked me several times through the process if I liked the look of my nails to ensure we were on the same page. I highly recommend Tina and the next time I'm in town I will absolutely come back to her! read more

I tried this place for the first time yesterday. Also my first pedicure since the pandemic, so was hoping for something nice. I paid $50 + $15 tip for the "jelly" pedicure. The male manager was not wearing a mask when I arrived. The 3 or so patrons and 3 technicians were all masked. There were also acrylic partitions for Covid protection. However he was the one doing most of the talking, translating, and answering phones, so kind of strange but I went with it. I asked for a recommendation of the type of pedicure that would be particularly exfoliating for my dry, cracked heels. My idea of an awesome pedicure involves meticulous exfoliating, and well applied polish. I told him I was not interested in a massage, but would rather have the tech spend more time exfoliating. He suggested the jelly pedicure, and the tech went to work. I winced twice while she was using a small square pumice around my toenails. When I got home, I saw that I had two small matching cuts next to the nail on the second toes of each foot. Also, while she did apply two coats of polish, they are uneven and there is a nearly sheer area of color around the edges of my toenails. My heels look and feel just ok, not meticulously smooth like I hoped. And she still did the "hot stone" massage, which I found uncomfortable. Sigh. I had hoped that the unmasked manager would be the worst part of this place, but my pedicure was not great either. I hope that the little cuts don't get infected. I wouldn't go back here. read more

Very disappointed with my visit. Only came because I was told they could do a manicure and two pedicures but there was a miscommunication and they only had time for my boyfriends pedicure so I just got nails. They rushed on my nails, didn't paint them properly, buzzed my finger, and left them looking VERY messy. She said with white you can't paint them fully but I've never had that issue before.l and only happened to a few... I asked for a different shape and she said she could only do square? It all felt very rushed, and while at first I was glad to get in for a drop in, I wish they would have just been honest if they didn't have the time instead of rushing and leaving me with bad nails I'll have for weeks and be upset about and say they couldn't fix anything because of people waiting... read more

I visited this last Monday to Templeton Nails & Spa. I am so glad I did, off of a recommendation. First impression when I walked in, is that it smelled good! Lol The Man I think who is the manager greeted me right away and asked what I wanted. They seated me quickly and gave me a menu of the complimentary drinks. I ordered a drink and they were playing relaxing music while doing my nails. This is easily the best nail spot I have been to and I just moved to California looking for my go to place. They also did not pressure me about adding anything other than the service I wanted and I was honestly super happy with the experience and my nails ! read more

We had a wonderful time at the spa. We made appointments ahead of time for three pedicures. There was no wait time because we had planned ahead. The chairs are comfortable and the staff is friendly. We all enjoyed our time. The only thing I would recommend is making sure that the polish is put on to the nail fully. I did notice after I came home some bare spots around the sides of my nails. However I would go again! read more

My goodness... the husband and wife team are so wonderful here! I'm so glad that I found this nail and spa business. They really do need for most people to make appointments because James and Tina are working on their own. James was patient, respected my requests, offered helpful suggestions, and did a fantastic job. I didn't have much of an interaction with Tina, but she was just as professional and sweet to her customer as James was with me. To me, it's pretty easy to find a salon or spa where things are done in a perfunctory manner, but having someone kind and thoughtful about their work is a huge benefit for me. Old-fashioned courtesy is important! This is my new special place where I can calm down and be pampered a bit. My husband and I will be regular patrons now, for sure! read more

They're really nice and easy to get a seat! Very sanitary and comfortable. The only reason for 4 stars is that when they file my toe nails they almost always get too rough on my skin area whether under the nail or this last time she filed my toe knuckle and it hurt! This last time her rocks were too hot too for the stone massage. But the time before they were a good temp. I get someone different every time so its hard to knock the business when its not a consistent person. But the foot massage is always pretty awesome. Im always pleased with the final result. read more

don't recommend this place for a new set of acrylic nails :/ I went in and showed them a picture of long black nails with cow print accent nail. I stopped her before the polish because of how terrible the shape and length was. I told her I wanted long and semi pointed. She wrecked the sides of my natural nails with the file and had gummy glue all underneath my nail. I had to go to a salon down the road to fix it and they said it's not the first time they've helped unhappy customers from this salon. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had in a while. My nail technician cut the side of my toe with the nail file. It was downhill from there. It's an extra $5 for non toxic nail polish in case you're not okay with toxic nail polish. Final heads up, this is a cash only place. So if you don't have the cash, you'll have to use the atm and be prepared to be charged fees from the atm and your bank. Will not be returning here ever and I don't recommend this place. James, possibly the owner, was very kind. Sadly, he was not my technician. read more

Word of mouth is a huge thing, especially in small towns which is why I had to leave a review for this place. I'm thrilled that after so many years of looking for the right place, I can say I've finally found it... and here's why! Calvin and his team are attentive and take pride in their work. Each time I've gone in there, they have gone above and beyond. Spending quality time on my pedicures, double checking their work and asking for feedback on how I like my nails. They have so many different colors to select from which is great. But whatever even better is that they serve adult beverages. I can come here and relax and know that I'm going to leave a satisfied customer. This will remain my go to place and will recommend them to everyone. Thanks toy Templeton Nails and Spa for setting a high standard for this area!! read more

One of the worst full set of acrylics in a long time. Would not recommend even in a pinch.
