    Gorgeous French mani!!!

    I came here on a lark a few months ago and haven't gone anywhere else since! Quick without rushing, and super reasonable prices. Tammy is an artist- freehand my French manicure!!!

    Amazing acrylics and everyone is very professional and friendly! Love my nails, will definitely be back again

    Dip/gel mani refresh & fill

    I needed a quick dip/gel fill today. They accommodated my schedule, and I got a perfect fill to restore my mani for longer wear. TLC has more polish styles than any place I've seen in SB. The environment is chill and relaxing, and the location can't be beat.

    AMAZING!!!! best nail salon in Santa Barbara. Come here every month and get SO EXCITED. They do AMAZING every time and are so kind and fast and amazing customer service. Also have candy and drinks for you

    Thani took amazing care of me at TLC Nail Lounge. If you're looking for beautiful shaped nails with cute designs here is the place! Don't be discouraged by the seemingly empty space, as they get their guests in and out quickly, my fill only took 45 minutes! The music was calming and I will be getting a pedicure next time as well since the salon setup was nice and relaxing.

    I received a gift card for my birthday and it was my first experience at this nail spa. It's such a…read morepretty nail spa! I loved the heated chair, privacy curtains and the option of having a 'quiet treatment' if I'm not feeling chatty. I also loved their drink menu and ordered a black tea with my pedicure. They generously offer a complimentary glass of wine, but I don't drink alcohol. My suggestion would be to make coffee or tea complimentary (instead of charging $6-8.) The spa is twice the price of my regular nail salon, but I would go back as a treat. It was less about nail maintenance and more about relaxation and a luxe experience.

    Terrible experience…read more Their business ethics are extremely limiting. My manicurist told me to take a break from getting gel on my hands and feet. So we booked a mani pedi with regular polish for the next time I would come in. Mind you, that I had just gotten gel on my hands and feet by them. Then I come in for mani and pedi. They never asked me which package I wanted so they naturally just gave me the more expensive one for hands and feet combo. Once my card was charged I was chocked! They charged me 250 for a mani and pedi with regular nail polish! I wrote to them and complained. And they charged me $140 for the combo of the nicer treatment with regular polish + $40 to take off the gel on my hands and feet. CHOCKED. Then I got a strengthening nail polish from them $25 ... Then I told them to tip the lady 20% And they tipped her 20% on everything After taxes and fees after treatment, gel removal, even the nail polish. Just so rude. It costs $155 to get the gel combo for hands and feet and that includes removing the gel. I suggested they at least charged me for that so that it wouldn't end up costing me more to get regular polish than gel. But they wouldn't! I was never informed that they would charge me $40 for the gel or that the combo I was getting would be $140 vs $155 with gel. Plus if I had, had a choice I would have chosen the $110 mani pedi with regular polish. I feel so mistreated, even after emailing with them they didn't want to do anything to comb me or help me not feeling mistreated. So here we are. I told them I wouldn't come back if they were seriously not going to do anything and they said they understood if I wanted to take my business elsewhere. This is after going there and being a high paying client for years. So disappointing. Thanks for my $250 mani pedi with regular polish. FYI this is how my nails looked after 1 day.

The technician immediately offered to fix it and at the end of that repair she would not let me touch my own wallet and took my debit card from me to put it back in my wallet and even took my phone for a moment. She clearly did not want me rubbing my polish against anything which makes sense but I don't need help with that and it felt intrusive. I spent twice as long, making sure that one nail was dried after repair, and when I got back to the car and reached in my pocket to get out my keys, that nail got smudged off again. This only happened on the one nail, which is very strange. I've had many manicures and have never encountered this. I also asked for a dark purple color with no sparkle, and they kept bringing me light blues with sparkle, and trying to convince me to change my mind about the color that I wanted (which I don't understand their reasoning for this at all, and why it matters to them) and would not let me simply walk over to the polish wall to pick my own color. When my nail technician finally brought over a couple of dark purples, a secondary nail technician came over & started to have a conversation about the two polishes and whether they looked similar or not. This was all after I had very obviously quickly chosen a color. During the appointment, that second nail technician kept coming over and staring at my hands which was uncomfortable. Finally, when choosing the tip amount during payment, the receptionist brought the card reader over (rather than waiting for me to walk to the register) and put the screen directly in front of the technician and myself, and the technician was staring at the screen, watching what my tip selection was.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Raquel at Mi Salon in Santa Barbara!…read more I first found her totally by chance--my regular stylist since 2018 canceled on me because I was running just seven minutes late. Frustrated and desperate, I called Raquel at the very last minute (I actually found her by getting on my phone and saying "salons near me". She immediately welcomed me, saying she had a cancellation and could take me the same day. I was nervous walking in, thinking I might regret it, but from the moment I met her, I knew I was in great hands. Raquel greeted me with a warm, bubbly energy. She's not only gorgeous but makes you feel instantly comfortable. Her salon is darling--formerly a ballet studio--tucked away just off State Street. It's such a hidden gem with a fun, charming vibe. Her technique was unlike anything I've experienced before. She straightened my hair before cutting, which made so much sense, and then cut at all different angles with such precision. She explained her background as she worked, and it was so reassuring to know how much knowledge and artistry she was bringing into every step. On top of her talent, Raquel is an amazing conversationalist. I felt like I was talking to a best friend. She didn't just style my hair--she taught me how to care for it. She walked me through every step so I could replicate the look at home. When I struggled later, she invited me back, showed me again, and even had me practice on my own hair with her guidance. Who does that? She's incredible. Yes, she costs a little more than some, but she's worth every penny. The experience, the education, the confidence she gives you--it's something I've never gotten anywhere else. I walked out not only loving my hair but also feeling like I found the stylist I want to stay with for life. Raquel is a true gem in Santa Barbara. I feel so lucky I stumbled into her chair, and I can't recommend her highly enough! By the way, I don't have curly hair... it's got body and now it has much more!!
