    A spa like experience, right here in Sacramento that is a must! Located off Fair Oaks, there is plenty of parking, a friendly staff, and best of all, non toxic polish. Their customer service is amazing, offering you something to drink as soon as you arrive. This was my first time going somewhere that uses non toxic and it was great to see all the colors that were available and the different types. You can see that the place is super clean, they ensure that products are used only once, and they disinfect the items used. I've gone twice now with Olimpia and both times she was great. She's friendly, bubbly, and caring to ensure that you receive the best service while you're there. For those who love to take instagram worthy pictures, there are plenty of backgrounds to use for posting your fresh mani or pedi. I think this would be the perfect location for a girls day, bridal party get together, or self care day.

    It was my first time availing their services and I'd say that it was an amazing experience! I was given a choice of water or red wine, and the ambiance itself was classy and clean. I also love how the nail techs were very attentive and caring to my nails' health. I was originally supposed to do a structured manicure but was advised against it to let my nails heal and rest, which I really appreciated, so I got the check-in manicure and gel-x removal instead. KaChia and Alicia are both awesome and meticulous with the services rendered, I highly recommend then both!

    Draining pus from paronychia infection in cuticle

    I wanted to love this place so badly and drove 20-30 min from home because of their high standards for hygiene and sanitary practices as I've had a couple infection scares from pedicures at other salons. At first my experience was good overall. My pedicure tech barely talked to me but my manicurist was friendly once I broke the ice. They both seemed meticulous, were gentle, and I was happy with their work and the ambience of the salon. Unfortunately now almost 2 weeks after my services, I have a nail infection that is barely just draining. I also had the beginning stages of one on my toe but with soaking it didn't progress. Both spots were tender, red and swollen after the mani pedi but that's not uncommon immediately afterwards and I didn't think anything of it at the time. I've never had an infection on my fingernails and this was a first and very surprising for a place that autoclaves. I'm willing to try again but maybe with a different tech and wondering if that was the issue?

    gel all over my fingers

    I hate being this person, but this is absolutely not worth the 80-90$ i spent there. My cuticles look horrible, my nails are so so so uneven. My nail tech was friendly, and she did ask me "do they look okay?" before applying the gel.. and truthfully i noticed some unevenness but I thought once the gel was on it would be fine. Man I was so wrong.. she also left gel all over me, which doesn't even happen to me at a "chop shop". Then on top of all that they started peeling that same night! (My pinkie on my right hand was already broken so that I understand is on me) Man, this is so bad. I went here thinking all the nail techs were going to be amazing & high end, since this is what they advertised. :( Im so disappointed not only in the service I got but in the management as well. I left feedback and sent an email that same night, hoping someone would reach out to me and try to make it right. But it's now been a few days heard nothing.. so that's why I have to give them a poor review.

Also plenty of parking in the back so no worries there. The first thing you may notice is the lack of a "chemical smell" that is typical for most shops like this. From my conversations with Nessa, this is because they use mainly organic products. With respect to the pedicure. Opted for the Luxury pedi and the staff didn't disappoint. In fact, this was my best pedi experience yet. Joy and Kay were friendly and nice. Their attention to detail was purrfect. Who would have known such a nice experience was here. Everyone was super nice and the price points are standard, although the service and the products were exceptional. I notice the details from the steam machines to the massage chairs and everything in between. Just really great people at a great shop. Feel beautiful, check my new friends at Passion. Thanks Nessa! You guys truly are the best!

I was basically told "we do free fixes," but that's not the point ,i was leaving for a trip and wanted my nails done correctly the first time. These nails started looking old after TWO DAYS. You could already see my nail bed growing out like they were weeks old. I got them done on the 16th and the photo is from the 18th. Super disappointing experience and definitely won't be going back.

    I'm from LA and was visiting my sister in Sacramento when I realized I desperately needed to get my…read morenails done. I was honestly really hesitant about trying someone new because I'm extremely particular about my nail shape and have been going to the same nail tech in LA for years. My sister recommended Tracy, and I couldn't be happier that I trusted her. Tracy absolutely nailed it! The shape, length, and design were PERFECT. She paid so much attention to detail and gave me exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for someone who is talented, meticulous, and truly cares about her work, I HIGHLY recommend Tracy. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Sacramento!

    I'm writing to address the experience I had at your salon today, which was not only disappointing…read morebut completely unacceptable. I have been a loyal client for over a year, consistently spending over $100 per visit, and I have always come in respectfully, communicated clearly, and expected the level of service that matches the price I pay. Today, a nail tech abruptly took over my service and immediately told me I "should go somewhere else" because I'm "never satisfied." I have never raised my voice, insulted anyone, or behaved disrespectfully. I simply expect quality for the price I pay. She went as far as saying the staff "gets scared" when I come in, which is not only unprofessional but completely false. Throughout the past year, I've also noticed that the staff frequently speaks in their language while looking directly at me or other clients, creating an uncomfortable environment where customers feel talked about instead of respected. This has happened every single time I've visited. To make matters worse, shortly before my service was finished, I overheard another woman complaining about her nail tech as well, proving I'm not the only customer experiencing issues. When I requested a small discount due to the disrespect I received, the salon refused. No apology, no accountability, and no professionalism. After a year of loyalty and hundreds of dollars spent, this is how I was treated. I will not be returning, and I hope management seriously reevaluates how staff communicates with customers and handles feedback.

    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!
