Unique Nails - My husband enjoying his pedicure. He has gorilla toenails and they take great care of him. - Nail Salons Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

It was my first time here. I didn't have an appointment, but they took care of me in less than 10 minutes. The pedicure was very well done, and the $45 price seemed great to me--especially considering the massage they include. Very nice place. (Spa/Gel) read more

I was the first person in line waiting for the doors to open (5 of us total). Posted hours say they open at 9:30 and they didn't arrive until 10am. There were 4 or 5 technicians that arrived. I was asked how she could help me and I said just a pedicure. She then asked if I had an appointment and I said no. It says "Walk-ins Welcome" on the window. She then asked me if I could come back later. I said no, I will take my business elsewhere. This is not the first time this has happened here- both me waiting about 30 minutes for them to open and being asked to return later. In all the nail salons I've gone to over many years, this is the only one that's ever asked me to leave and come back and this has happened more than once now. Since they are close to home I decided to give them another try. I will no longer attempt to spend my money at this business. P.S. 2 of the employees are going back and forth unloading stuff from their cars while I'm sitting here typing this...they couldn't have me wait 5 minutes while they unloaded then started my pedicure? read more

I love this shop. They are the best ever! My nails never lift. They are so conscientious about keeping their tools clean too, which I really appreciate! read more

They made my manly ugly nails look beautiful after a manicure. Theyre friendly people and great prices for the work done. Will go back. ​

The people are rude. They want cash but don't tell you till the service is complete. I called for an appointment and the woman was screaming at over the phone (still have no idea what she was saying. Went in. They were busy. They told me to come back in an hour. When I did that they stuck someone in my spot and said they had no more time. I have tried 3 different times with these guys. Their customer service service is seriously lacking. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Unique Nails in Pollock Pines! Very convenient to where we moved to and great service. I was able to get a gel manicure pedicure done in less than 60 minutes and very friendly and attentive staff. This will be my go to place for getting my nails done! read more

Lisa did an amazing job on my nails. I would highly recommend. Everyone was so nice. All of the nail techs were so talented. read more

Unique Nails - Christmas set with snowflakes and gems - Nail Salons Near Me - Pollock Pines, California

My rating is a NEGATIVE ONE. We were passing through on our way to Tahoe for a week's vacation, deciding to treat ourselves and stopped in. The only good thing they did (too bad for us, but glad to take our money), was that they accepted a walk-in, despite the negative attitude. The worst job I've had on my nails EVER but my bad as I should have known by how FILTHY and unhygienic this shop seemed to be. Wish I was a health inspector undercover. Perhaps I'm just used to more professionalism and expertise of the many salons I've been to over the years in the city all these years, but certainly no excuse for the messy filth. And why requiring cash only, not reporting income? We had it on us for vacation so lucky not to be inconvenienced on that point. read more

CASH ONLY AND IT ISN'T POSTED! $50 for a mani and pedi that took less than 45 minutes? My friend and I paid for the same services. I was completely done before her pedi massage started. Completely unacceptable. read more

I highly recommend Unique Nails...All the workers are so kind and do very professional work. Make an appointment though because many people in Pollock Pines also know they are good!! read more

Unique Nails did a good job and got my nails done quickly. I did a walk-in appointment and they were able to get me in right away. Overall, they did a good job. I just wish there was a better selection on the colors. Update: I was disappointed that my polish didn't even last a whole week. Please work on technique or get different polish. read more

Always accommodating as I never make appointments and just call before I arrive. They seem to follow covid protocol. They always are patient with me when deciding on color as I have a hard time deciding. I like that they don't try to chat you up too much either when you don't feel like talking. Fresh tools for each customer is used. Plastic lined bowls are replaced so very sanitary. read more

Love love LOVE this place! I've been going here since they first opened and have never been disappointed! They are professional yet friendly & personable. I always feel welcome even if they're busy and I show up without an an appointment. On the rare occasion when I'm out of town and must go elsewhere, there's no comparison with the quality of work. They are superior to any other salon I've been to! I HIGHLY recommend Unique Nails for the variety of services they offer! You won't be disappointed. read more

Zero Stars! What kind of nail salon can you call and ask for an appointment three days in advance asked for a morning appointment and they tell you flat out sorry were too busy now how do you know you're too busy three days in advance? I was willing to take any available morning appointment and she simply said were too busy. And then hung up the phone. Wow! I'm sure you'll be gone soon! read more

After having been a regular customer at Unique Nails, and having been to many other nail salons, this place is far and above the best! It's a family owned store and the people that work there always remember everyone. I don't prefer any other place. What a great gem here in Pollock Pines, though they would be great in any town. read more

I absolutely adore this salon! They are all VERY friendly and I have been going there for YEARS! I have been to many other salons and every time I have been disappointed with the work compared to Unique Nails. I see Chi for my full sets, she's very gentle, has never damaged my cuticles, is VERY detailed, and fast too! She also some how has magical powers to keep the nails from lifting/breaking and with me being a dog groomer is quite impressive! If I could give 10 stars I would! Definitely check them out! read more

I love that they are all family and genuinely care about their customers. John and Chi are my favorites. John is great with acrylic and Chi is queen of gel. Bonus: they rarely ask you personal questions. If you don't want to talk, they'll never pry about whether you "have boyfriend", as popularized by Bonquiqui read more

I have been going to Unique Nails for almost 4 years. I think everyone there has given me a manicure or pedicure/polish change at one time or another. I appreciate the good job and hard work Hannah and her family perform every time I am there! So glad they are up here in Pollock Pines! read more

I have been to many nail salons in El Dorado county and this is by far the best! Chi is wonderful and my nails looks beautiful every time. I am sure all of the other nail technicians are good as well. It's only 15 minutes from Placerville, but worth the drive. I would definitely recommend this salon. read more

Great service! During COVID, I felt that they were keeping everything sanitary. Only thing is that it's CASH ONLY. I had to go to CVS and buy something to get cash back. Felt like they could upgrade to a credit card machine, which would reduce the thought of COVID being on the cash that I'm handing to the women! read more

I dont normally write reviews but i feel i just need to to warn others to just save your time and money. I went to this place because its so near where I live. But even the proximity to the house will never make me go back to this place ever! The lady who greeted me was just very very rude and wasnt even listening to my inquiry. Wish i listened to the other reviewer and never wasted my time coming here! read more

I see John and he does an amazing job! Very detailed. Every other place that I've gone to my nails would lift within days John does something to prevent that. read more

Love this place but if you make an apt. Be prepared to wait. Chi is my fav! She is great with nail designs and knows her stuff! read more

I don't know what is wrong with some of you people in Pollock Pines. I think that this the greatest salon around and I have been to most of them. I hope they stay in business and if you are a regular customer you know that they only take cash. I go and take my friend once a month and love it. Very nice and they do great work. read more

I love Unique Nails.. John and his family are masters of their craft. I recommend this nail salon to everyone. Come on in and enjoy being pampered. read more

John did a great job on my nails! Everyone was so friendly and you could tell that their customers are like family!

I absolutely love this place!!!! I live in placerville and drive up about every three weeks!! Even when I lived in rosemont I still drove to pollock to get my nails done. There is no other place like it. The pedicures are amazing and relaxing and my acrylics always look on point and last forever without lifting or breaking. I have very thin natural nails and every other nail place drills through my natural nail around the cuticle but this place never does!! They are also extremely friendly and always remember you! read more

No lie, I've gone to many great nail salons but hands down (no pun) this place is by far the best! Their product lasts long, their prices are good, and their work is great. This place is family-run and they are appreciative to their customers. read more

Hannah is absolutely the best, very professional and knowledgeable, also takes into consideration any suggestions or concerns you may have. I have very thin skin around my nails that cuts easily, and very thin nails that heat up a LOT when being filed. Hannah was very nice about it and made sure I was comfortable. Can't say that about a few others there, but they're all very nice! read more

Always a good job with nails and pedicure. I have tried others over the years but this place is the best I have found. Walk in's are welcome but I find making an appt is easier if you are on a schedule. read more

I love the environment and the staff of Unique Nails. The staff are all so accommodating and take their time with you. However, like most places sometimes they can rush you out. I normally just get regular mani pedi. My mani always chips right away but my pedi stays for like two months... weird. Anyways that's why I'm giving them four stars instead of five. And plus they are clean read more

I have used unique nails lots of times. Chi and Join are great. But the last 3 times that I have been there they are not that busy and they tell me to come back in 2 or 3 hours. The first 2 times I had to find another place. I have always been able to walk in. This last time there was someone available to start with my fill. Since me and my 6 year old couldn't sit together to get pedicures. They told me to come back in 2 hours. Plus every time I want a design I have to wait for chi to do it. To top it off I am a licensed professional and I know the law states you need to have a dirty and a clean bin. They don't. I adore join and chi but this has gotten ridiculous. Looks like I need to find a new nail shop. After the first nail salon I went to when I moved up here breached my nails up and used crap product I thought finally I found a place. But apparently not. If you want sit and get a fill that takes an hour and a half and the nails are crooked by ask means come here. But I won't again. They lost my business and the people I knows business read more

I am a local to Pollock Pines. I had used this salon for nearly 16 years and was one of their first customers. Recently, I went in with my mother and daughter. Typically, even with appointment, the wait is 30-45 minutes with several walk-ins being taken in before those with appointments. I know the entire staff (would discuss family etc.) and at one point was patient with the wait because of my loyalty to them even though their work had continued to become over priced and poor quality. Today, I was told I could not be helped, even after I explained I believed I had a fungus growing! Not only was there an available technician to help me (Jon), but I asked how to avoid a wait with either an appointment or a walk-in, and was told I've never had to wait courtesy of the woman who runs the salon (Hannah) very rudely!!! The customer sitting at her table yelled at me as well!! I will never use them again. Cheap products, over priced and rude to my family and I. They do NOT have a quality product any longer and the staff is extremely rude. read more

The nail salon staff were very nice and the prices were a great, my only problem was the nail design I wanted they couldn't do because of its difficulty. read more

This is a great find up in Pollock Pines. Great nail services, friendly people, can usually always get an appointment when you need it, same day. Manicures, acrylic/fiberglass nails, pedicures, eyebrow wax. I don't have many problems with acrylics coming off, if they do Hanna doesn't charge to fix them if she has put them on. All the nail techs are good at what they do. Great pedicures with leg massage. Always an upbeat pleasant atmosphere for workers and customers. read more

I LOVE this place!! Hannah and her team/family are all amazing. They know all their regulars by name. It's like the 'Cheers' of Pollock Pines! Their prices and skill are first class! And, I've met so many interesting local people there! read more

This is the first negative review I've ever written. Went for a pedi & mani,. I sat down with my feet in the water & asked the girl if I could pay first so i wouldn't ruin my wet nails. I offered to pay with a debit card or check.She said cash only, which is totally ok with me but I only had 2 dollars. I asked to call my husband & he would gladly bring cash with a ten dollar tip.She said no don't call him. Said go to the pharmacy 6 doors down & get cash after she does my nails.I asked if i could get cash first so I would not ruin my wet nails.She said no your nails will be fine.They held my license while I got the money. Needless to say my nails got ruined. I know I should have been more assertive but its kinda hard when they have you in the chair. I feel it would have been better customer service if the girl would have listened to her customer. Also they should be up front about cash only & have signage as such. The girl did do a nice paint job but it got ruined.Also they have let me write checks there before & had all my personal info & none bounced. read more
