We were on a girls trip and just had lunch on the strip. We wanted to get our toes done and this was the only nail salon on the area - I'm talking for miles. So we gave it a chance. The owners are a very nice, sweet couple. They were very friendly and accommodating. However, the service was subpar. It was very basic and expensive. I'm sure they pay a lot for rent, given the location, and that's why their services are on the pricer side but it was disappointing. read more

I requested a kids polish change. Very sloppy and bad attitude. Also over priced. Recommend avoiding this place.

I opted to go to this salon recently when having a hard time finding anywhere in Solvang that was open after 5pm. It was easy to get a reservation for a Thursday at 6pm. They were super timely with my appointment time and worked quick. I didn't feel like I was spending hours at the salon, which was nice. They have several chairs for both manicures and pedicures, plus a super extensive selection of nail polish colors to choose from. My gel manicure is going on day 4 right now and looks great. I'm super satisfied. The manicurist even sampled all the different colors I was struggling to choose between on her own nails, so that I could see what they looked like once painted on. $40 for a gel manicure was not bad. They also have parking in a lot nearby next door, which is great because they're on the main street of Mission Drive in Solvang. read more

I recently moved to Solvang and needed a new nail salon. Unique Nails is one of the few places in town that offers acrylics. I came here and worked with Amy who is fantastic! The rest of the staff seemed nice as well. It was not overly busy. Quality work and a pleasant atmosphere. :) read more

we're out of towners so they took complete advantage of us!!! 2 pedicure for $95 !!! horrible job on the toes and aweful colors

LOCATION is prime , but other that, a 1 STAR is generous ! I can't imagine anyone local returning to this salon after an initial try .Shop is cluttered , not especially friendly , considering most walk-ins will be visitors of Solvang and the polish selection is old and scant . Within a month , 2 separate people told me they got a fungal infection following their pedIcure . Well , that's entirely believable because when I visited , I noticed the instruments were taken from a desk drawer -- clearly not autoclaved ! If and when the Health Dept makes a spot-check , this salon is likely to burden heavy fines . read more

Every time I go to unique nails it is a top experience. They do excellent work. The staff is all friendly and well trained. Frequently I just walk in and usually we get a short amount of time I get an appointment. This is a place I look forward to visiting. read more

I was in need of a manicure and pedicure while on vacation and luckily, Annabelle was able to squeeze me in. She took her time on my nails and did a superb job! Great customer service and will definitely be back if I'm in town again. Price is reasonable since Solvang is a touristy town. Make an appt if you're not willing to wait. FYI: there's parking in the back read more

Visited this nail salon while in town for a wedding and had the best manicure with friendly service.

Today I went in to Unique nails to get a gel color change! Ann did a great job as always! She is great at hand painting designs on my nails! My appointment was for 3pm I was done in about an hour! This is my favorite place to get my nails and toes done! read more

Unique Nails - A new gel color for Christmas! - Nail Salons Near Me - Solvang, California

Wow!!! 60'yrs old and have had 100s of pedicures. This was by far the worse ever!! I went a month without one and watched as hardly any cuticle was removed. Had the callus removal and she didn't let it set in, just rubbed with a pumice stone which resulted in no visible callus removal. After the lack of cuticle and callus removal I felt the urge to time my massage, it was 2 minutes 40 seconds total! My manicure which left lots of cuticle lifting skin took a whole 10 minutes. My total was $65! I didn't get polish but a clear coat of OPI nail strengthener, I ask about the second coat and they said "no just one coat" wth? Not to mention, no gloves and her nails were dirty underneath and the instruments were not taken out of an autoclave (sp?) pouch. Health department here I come!!!! Probably tourist driven and they don't care...the place was not clean either!!! read more

I live in Los Angeles and I didn't have time to get my nails done , so I decided to take a risk and get them done while spending the weekend in Solvang and I am beyond satisfied with the service done by Anna. She was fast and did my nails amazing...I LOVED them. The salon was small and clean . I will be coming back . This will be a cute lil girls trips with my daughters and have them get manicures here. read more

I loved Annabell she did such a good job with my acrylic manicure! Knew exactly what I wanted, reasonable price, she was so nice Would definitely go back! read more

The worst service ever!!! Do not waste your time. This is a horrible, horrible place to go!!! Took my 96 year old mom there for a manicure and pedicure. The pedicure took 10 minutes (no massage, no lotion, just clipped and filed her nails). Then the lady had my mom sit in a different chair where she waited for 20 minutes for an old lady to file and paint her finger nails. The old lady spent about 15 minutes with my mom. I've never been to a salon where everyone is treated so poorly!!! They charged $60.00 for their horrible service!!!!! I have to give them 1 star because you cannot post a review without a star. read more

Decided to stop in for a manicure and pedicure while on vacation. The ladies were very pleasant. My manicure was done with no problems and my friend's pedicure looks great. Would go again. read more

I randomly decided to get a pedicure, man oh man, I should have walked out of there seeing the price for the pedicure, but I thought, it's fine. No, no, and no. The lady who did my toes, the gel was horrible, it bleed (the paint), additionally, she kept using cuticle oil to do everything, including my massage, tf read more

I visited Unique Nails with my wife last week and they were efficient, clean and comfortable. Had my first pedicure, staff was friendly and Annabelle was nice and gentle with my feet. I had a pleasent experience being a newbie. I am glad I came here. read more

The quality of my pedicure is fine. That said, I called in the morning for an appt and they gave me Noon. When I arrived, the lead manicurist treated me as if I was in imposition, not an appointment. I waited 30 minutes before being taken to a chair. The pedicure chairs are close together and the entire space is crowded. It was the fastest pedicure I've ever had...30 minutes flat. $35. Overall it was OK, but I won't go back. For $35+ tip I think I can find better. The salon is located on the Main Street. Was able to find parking in the back. read more

horrible treatment of customers, Kept messing nails up, rushed and did not shape them well and when you point anything out politely to be fixed they argue and are extremely rude. They only gave me one coat of paint so color turned out whack. Charged me extra for same nails friend got because it bothered her that i asked to make nails even. Said it was my fault my nails were messed up. awful way to treat polite paying customers. You should be able to get what you pay for ($55) for acrylics thats i already had on should be able to communicate what i want and get it. Will not be going back. Dont go here you will regret it. read more

Unique Nails - uneven, put matte coat on shimmered nail. lumpy acrylics - Nail Salons Near Me - Solvang, California

The salon seems to be run by a family - an older gentleman, and older woman, and a younger woman. They were all nice and accommodating to a walk-in. However, the state of the desks and products on counters and surfaces were dirty. I assume the actual tools were clean and sanitary but I wasn't paying attention. The gentleman gave a good spa pedicure. However, the older woman was in a hurry. My daughter's nails were not fully painted and had paint on her skin beside her nails. At first I thought maybe she couldn't see well, but then as the same woman did my gel manicure, realized she's just in a hurry and sloppy. She handed me the acetone soaked cotton ball to remove my own nail polish for her (I was surprised as I've never been put to work before when I'm paying for them to do it, but rolled with it and removed my polish). She then cut my skin with the cuticle clippers, as she rushed through the pushback process. I watched her only cover part of my nails with the top coat and then she flung the nail file around not really getting the edge of my nails. Then at the end she said I was done (no typical massage, lotion finish). I asked, "can I get some lotion for the dry skin after the chemicals?" And she complied but hastily rubbing it on. My daughter was also really disappointed as she wanted to have a manicure/pedicure experience with mom (like she has in the past at other salons), and she didn't get the pampering and experience she was hoping for. My daughter's nails look messy and I promised her I'd do the manicure and pedicure for her at home with the full experience when we change her polish. My nails look nice, but my finger is sore where she nipped me (causing me to decide to write this review as I notice my finger hurting the day after),, and I would not go back again. I'd rather make the long drive to Goleta to visit another salon or do them myself at home. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My friend called for both of us to get our nails done. She said they weren't busy. When I arrived they had 4 people getting pedicures and she was rude to me when I asked about getting my nails done even though my friend had called before we arrived. I don't give people my money that treat me like that. read more

Can always get you in same day which I love because I'm a procrastinator. Pedi always comes out nice.

I was fortunate to discover Ann and Loan while I was staying in Solvang and am so pleased with their manicure/pedicure and most importantly their service . Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for the highest quality results . Michele Hughes read more

I'm sure they do a good job with nails, but I would not know. I walked in asking for a manicure, and they said come back in half hour. I came back in half hour, and waited 20 min without being acknowledged, so I left and with that said they have bad service. A place with bad service simply doesn't care for their customers. read more

Overpriced.....$25 for a regular manicure that was not well done to say the least I know I can do better at home so that's what I'll do next time instead of coming here. Definitely a tourist stop! read more

Very disappointed in the work and price. I was recommended so I said make an appointment for a mom daughter day.. Got there looked okay and was clean.. Sat in the chair and the lady began, ok cool. So she left nail polish from my last pedi on my toe nails and painted over it. Then proceeded to do my nails. Another client came in and she started to rush. I left there with huge clobs of gel nail color under my nails and three just popped off where there were glued.. I dont like to be mean but over $200 later.... NOT OK read more

I PAID $60 FOR THIS! I asked for a clear coat and they said they didn't have clear coat. Then asked for flowers and they said they didn't know how. Asked for regular polish and they FORCED gel on me.

I went for the first time yesterday afternoon and had a wonderful experience. I called to make an appointment before hand and they were very accommodating.

I came for dip nails and they were so nice to squeeze me in. However, I would not recommend this place for dip nails. They chipped the following day and some separated from my nail. I think they did their best, but if you're a perfectionist I would not recommend going here for a dip set. I have not had any of their other services done. read more

Ok, so I just moved from the San Francisco Bay Area where there are nail salons galore. Solvang is a small town and I'm learning prices for mani pedis are more expensive in the (Santa Barbara) area overall. I decided to try this nail shop because of it's location and decor. Price for pedi is a reasonable $25. I'm not sure how I feel yet about this shop because my pedi only took 15 mins compared to what I'm used to being more like 30-40 mins. The tech left nail polish on my skin which I asked her to clean off and there were sparkles in the clear nail polish which were transferred onto my nails when the top coat was applied over my color. My nails were cut down but there was very little filing or buffing that took place. My nails are kinda crooked and jagged :-/ On the plus side, I was accommodated upon walk in, staff was friendly and the shop appears very clean. The chairs are comfortable and polish selection is sufficient. My toes look ok. I just wish there woulda been a little more attention to detail. If you're an out-of-towner in need of a mani/pedi then I recommend this place. Don't be afraid to speak up if you need to. read more

Excellent pedicure. Was first time visit. Had Ms. Long. Very professional and excellent detail work on nails. Used to go too expensive nail salons in Chicago and this saloon and Ms. Long are just as good or better. read more

Horrible customer service from the owner. She wasn't aware that I understand/speak Vietnamese so she was saying a lot of unkind things to the workers about me and the other customers. At no point did anyone truly help me with the nail color selection and appeared to get annoyed when I asked if they had anything that sparkled. Additionally, the lady that did my nails--albeit polite--appeared to want to go home so she rushed through and slathered on the polish as if she was painting a house. The nails turned out ok, but definitely pricy compared to rates I've come across. I will not be coming back and will not recommend for anyone. read more

Great pedicure! The staff was super friendly and our appointment was taken on time. Highly recommend
