Vans nail salon is the absolute best in Folsom! My nails always look fantastic and have a long lifespan before I need to go back to the salon. The only two employees are sisters and their dynamic is hilarious. Because it is just the two of them they are always busy and can almost never accept walk ins. I recommend that everyone call before they chance it and walk it. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, and talented nail salon, you must try Vans! read more

We've been coming here over 15 years. We are treated like royalty and enjoy our time with Van and Chan. I highly recommend Vans Nails!

This nail salon is great. Very clean and organized. The ladies that work here are super polite and very professional. They also do a great job doing nails. Definitely the best place in Folsom as far as I'm concerned. The price is also very affordable. Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Vans Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Folsom, California

It's quite run down and felt dirty and unsanitary. They have a VERY small selection of colors, many of which were old and the oils were separating. They also showed up 10 minutes late (iced coffee in hand) to open the store with customers waiting. read more

Very clean, professional with warm customer services. Will definitely request additional appointments. read more

My mom goes to Van's religiously for her pedicures and gel manicures. I tag along every one in awhile, but every time I do, I'm really pleased with the results. I live in Roseville, so it's not particularly convenient for me to come to Folsom for my nails, but after some disappointing experiences at local nail salons, I think I'm going to become a Van's regular. I get a standard mani / pedi (no artificial nails for me) and they do a great job at a great price. Mani's are $15, pedi's are $26. Their standard pedicure includes a nice scrub, a clay mask, and a hot stone massage. That's in additional to the regular massage - so you get two! Massage chairs are great and they are VERY clean. Another thing I love is that my manicures are always flawless here. I have problems with other salons never filing my nails straight, but that's never been an issue at Van's. I think they take more time with the customers than most salons like this. read more

Pretty decent nail salon in Folsom. Pros: - They actually spend time to massage your legs and feet/arms and hands. - Massage chairs! - Reasonably clean - they make a point to clean every bowl/pull out a fresh kit for each new client - Reasonably priced for Folsom. - They take credit cards and credit card tips. - Plenty of parking Cons: - They get booked a lot, so don't be too surprised if you have to wait. My mom and I had an appointment and we still had to wait. - I wish my sweet and kind technicians didn't chat so much - I'm trying to zen out! read more

I love the way these ladies do nails! So much attention to detail and put so much care into everything they do! happy my daughter told me about the salon! read more

I took a gamble on yelps five star rating for Vans Nails and it paid off! This salon is clean, fun, and have great OPI colors and great prices. My first Gel mani was awesome and I can't wait to have another! I saw them turn away a few walks in because they were totally booked, so call ahead, but the good thing is when you have an appointment you dont have to wait 30 mins once you get there! Great place, and i cant wait to return! read more

Best nail shop in Folsom. You HAVE TO make an appointment to get in but that's because they are the best. 2 sisters doing quality work. Been a client for 3 years, won't go anywhere else. read more

Prepare to sit and wait and wait. At my last appt, I got there on time and still had to wait 20 min to be seen. Then they put me in a massage chair for another 20 min. In the middle of my gel manicure, Van, the owner, left to do a walk-in's eyebrows, meanwhile I sat in my chair waiting another 20 min! In total, it took over 2 1/2 hours just to get my nails/toes because they were taking anyone who walked in the door, neglecting those who are already there. Needless to say, I felt very unattended. My gel nails lasted 3 weeks (but I must always remind them to push back and cut the cuticle). The pedicure, however, done by Tina, (the owners sister) was done well and promptly. read more

No matter what your natural nails look like, Van, Chen and Tina ALWAYS make them look Good!! Love the Gel Manicure read more

Van and Chan do such great quality work and are both perfectionist! I only get gel manicures, but they never rush through my appointment and my nails always hold up till my next time I come in. They constantly are getting new colors which is awesome because I love mixing it up! I highly suggest these ladies! Just be sure to call and make an appointment. This is not a walk in nail salon. read more

Got a spa pedicure for $26....they spent about 45 minutes for me, gave a scrub, mudmask for feet, did a good job cleaning, and are really nice. I was pretty surprised at how nice it looked inside. Not dingy--and in an older strip mall. They painted it themselves, and did a great job. $1 off if you pay cash. The ladies are pretty sweet and did a good job. i'd recommend them. Minus one star for saying they'd' start at 1pm, and it took til almost 120....but they DID let me soak in my feet in the tub for about 45 minutes before starting the pedicure :) Eyebrows were $10...and she did a good job! Sorry didn't ask for names, but only one lady does eyebrows. Watched all 3 do nails, and they all seemed good. Really clean place, you can see them fill up new water, and put in cleaning treatment after you're done. You cannot beat the price for what you get! They said they'll start facials in the winter :) read more

This is THE best nail salon in Folsom! I called ahead to ask if they could fit me in, which they did. It was my third time getting a gel manicure so I thought I knew what to expect. I was surprised to learn that my previous gels were not done properly, which is why they didn't last more than 7 days. The gel manicure Vans did lasted 3 weeks w/o chipping! Friendly knowledgeable staff. I'm definitely going back when I'm in the area! read more

Amazing! First time here and all the ladies pamper you like a princess! read more

UPDATED REVIEW: So I've been a Vans Nails loyal customer since April 2012. I've recommended Van to many, many people, and other local businesses. However, I won't be recommending Vans Nails any longer. For the past 4-5 months that I've gone to Van's, Van herself has been rude, harsh, and extremely disrespectful to me. I went in today, because they apparently stopped answering their phones for the day (which I thought was very odd) and she didn't even greet me as I walked in the door, and she also slammed her appointment book on the table, and seemed annoyed that I wanted to make a pedicure appointment. Its a real shame, because she's a very talented esthetician, as is her sister Chan, and their other girl Tina. They are all very talented and know a lot about nails. But Van's attitude has completely tuned me off, and I am now in search of a new nail place. Its really unfortunate that a place so good has an owner who has such a horrible attitude. The last few times I've gone in there, I noticed Van being rude and short with other customers as well. Also "turning their phones off," because they are too busy seems extremely unprofessional to me. I hope that you have a better experience than I have had these past few months. At first, Van was fantastic, nice, professional, and sweet. But over a year later she has become rude, obnoxious, disrespectful, and seems extremely irritated by all of her customers. I hope to hear in the future that Van is treating her customers better. I really hope they get out of this funk they are in. The one thing I will say about the entire crew is they are extremely clean. If you are looking for cleanliness in a salon, go to Van's, but if you are expecting to be treated like a customer with business to give, go elsewhere. read more

Great quality and affordable service! In town from SF to visit my family, I was in desperate need of a manicure and have been spoiled by great $25 gel manis in the city. I ran across Vans on Yelp and decided to give them a whirl. So, sooo great. Tammy, my technician, was fantastic, and her her attention to detail is pretty incredible. She made sure my nails were *perfect* before I walked out of there. Vans probably has THE best selection of gel colors that I've seen (OPI, Shellac, Gelish, etc.) which made choosing a color a longer process than usual (Shellac's Hot Rod Red is amazing). They take card, too, which I still think is a bonus amongst nail salons. Plus, the $25 price point is just right! read more

Best pedicure in town. Very friendly, great massage, love it here. Call for appointment because they get busy. Excellent customer service. The only place I will go in town. read more

I read the reviews and boy were they right. Van and Chan were great. By far the best salon I have ever been to. They were nice, professional, and knew what they were doing. They took their time and didn't rush. Not one flaw!!! I got the gelish polish. It was $25.00. Pretty comparable to nearby. I will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Was totally excited to take my Mom here for her birthday based on the reviews I read, but was sorely disappointed they couldn't take us when we walked in. We tried to come on a sat afternoon without an appointment. We walked in to find it was not busy and they only had 2 workers there. One was tending to a customer and they were expecting 2 more people for their appointment. The people arrived for their appointment so we had to leave and find somewhere else or wait an hour to be seen. Who has a nail salon open on a Sat with only 2 workers there and they can't take walk-ins? I don't know if I'll ever come back because I'm not organized enough to plan ahead and make an appointment. read more

Was a little skeptical at first, I had received a gift card here and came in and was told I needed to make an appointment, which was a bummer being that I'm generally pretty busy between work and baby. Anyway, finally scheduled and came in and it was awesome! I actually prefer the appointment system because then you don't have women rushing to do your nails or your massage during a pedicure just to get through of a line of people waiting. Very relaxing. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a quiet environment with friendly people. And the people here are genuine and have a good sense of humor. read more

have been back several times, and both sisters do an awesome job on gel manicures! the polish lasts like 4 weeks! always very clean, and never any problem booking an appt on the phone. the only problem i have is that when they try to take off the old polish they scrape it off with a metal tool. i am really worried they will damage my nails, so i just take off the old polish at home now, then i dont have to worry about it :) read more

I decided to try this place out based on Yelp reviews as the salon I went to before was raising their prices but not the quality of their work. I am SO glad I decided to come here. The girls are really nice and they did EXACTLY what I wanted with my nails. When I couldn't figure out the exact color I wanted to pick for my gel manicure, I explained the kind of color I was looking for and the girl "custom mixed" a color for me. So awesome! Definitely coming back and the prices are great! read more

I am really picky about getting my nails done. I love that the staff was friendly and attentive to me as a customer. They were polite, funny, and charming. The space was clean and cared for. The price was very reasonable, especially considering it is Folsom! I will be back! Thank you Vans! read more

I just had my nails done by Tammi at Van's Nails. What a wonderful experience! I had called to see if I needed to make an appointment and they had an immediate opening, so I drove on over. Super friendly staff and a nice, clean facility! They had so many colors to choose from! I will definitely be back! Thanks, Tammi! read more

FINALLY!!! It's taken me awhile but today I hit the jackpot! Went to "Van's'Nails" on Bidwell St. (across the street from the DMV) and had the BEST job done on my pink and white nails. CHAN was the nail technician that did my nails. She was very thorough, professional, personable, and her station was clean. (YAY!!!!!) I have never been totally satisfied with the results in the past from other salons in the Folsom area and I've tried about 13 different ones. OK! So I'm very picky, but now I do not have to search anymore for the best because I found exactly what I have been looking for in a nail salon. The price was right and the staff was friendly and all spoke English. Going back in about 3-4 weeks for a fill. Try "Chan" or "Van" at Van's Nails. You will be happy that you did.

I am not from this area and Vans came highly recommended. I called and was able to get in quickly. Great job on my nails I love them! Thank you for getting me in so quickly Monday! Clean establishment. read more

I checked this place out because of the good reviews on Yelp and I am so glad I did. Made my appointment as recommended also and that was a good idea because they were busy. They were a few minutes behind but I was brought to a chair and was able to soak my feet until they were ready for me. Nice clean salon. All the ladies are very nice. The pedicure was amazing and not rushed even though they were busy. I've been back twice and plan on making it a regular monthly stop for a pedicure. read more

I moved from the bay area and had a hard time finding a good nail salon, but I found the jack pot with Van's! Great customer service and perfect manis and petis! They do a leg scrub and hot stone massage with every pedicure. It may take a little extra time, but its worth the price and a job well done. I would highly recommend this salon to others! read more

First off, the current photo for this business does not reflect it at all! The shop is beautifully painted and decorated, they have clearly tried to make it a tasteful and relaxing environment. I called to make an appointment for myself and several friends. There was a bit of a language barrier when I tried to schedule for "1 manicure and 4 pedicures" but eventually the communication got cleared up and the gal who was scheduling us was cheerful throughout. I was concerned that perhaps we didn't actually have an appointment because they didn't take my name before hanging up...but when we showed up the day of they were ready for us. The manicures and pedicures were both wonderful - perhaps not as luxurious as at a spa, but all in all just great. I was pleased to see that their staff cleaned and sanitized the foot baths right away. The ladies who worked with us were all very friendly and cheerful which made the whole thing that much better. Oh and you just cannot beat the price. One dollar discount if you pay in cash. read more

Chan at Van's Nails gave me a pedicure and shellac manicure. She did a great job - took her time and was very friendly. They have a huge selection of colors - shellac and regular. The shop is clean and parking is easy - right out front. Unlike many other shops I've visited, they do not pack people into the shop with the "just wait a few minutes" line. They honor their appointments - which I'd recommend you make a day or two in advance. Great experience. read more

This was by far the BEST place my mom, sister and I have been. The staff was friendly and talkative. They made a point to talk to you and get to know you instead of just talking to each other. They had brilliant attention to detail. My full set was the best one I have ever had (and I have had quite a few.) The ladies here know how to make you feel important and well taken care of. The store inside is clean and well maintained. The quality of my nails alone deserves a 5 but the way these ladies took great care of me, I will definitely go back! read more

I get my gel manicure done every 2-3 weeks here and I will never go anywhere else even though I live in Sacramento. I always make an appointment with Chan because they are very busy, with an appointment I never have to wait. I have had manicures at various places in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Chan's work is hands down the best. Her gel manicure lasts at least 2-3 weeks. She is a perfectionist and very gentle with my thin cuticles, which I appreciate. I highly recommend going to Chan for your gel manicure, it is so worth the money. I recommend taking cash, it is nice for small businesses because they don't have to pay the credit card charge fee. read more

This is the best nail salon! They are all super nice and accommodating. This salon is also very clean and nice :)

Van is wonderful. They are very meticulous. They are always cheerful and never distracted from their work. Well worth waiting for an appointment. I also enjoy this place because of the convenient parking, lots of polish choices, and they don't rush through appointments. read more

They do a really good job. They time to make sure it looks neat and put on several coats of polish so it last longer then most places. They are affordable and take off gel nails properly by soaking off the polish not grinding off. This place is my only nail place. Now my sister is going there. read more

This place is great. I go often and love getting the gel nails. I reccommend just walking in... when you make an appointment I have NEVER not waited less than 20 minutes. It's frustrating but beyond that they're so nice and do a great job. I just really say it's better to call before you want to go in and gamble that they may or may not have an opening opposed to making an appointment because they take walk-ins even when they have appointments so you will end up waiting. I guess if you have the time it's no biggie, just keep that in mind. read more

I love Van's nails! The salon is small and quiet and the manicurists are very talented, gentle and skilled. My experience there is always relaxing and pleasant, and my gel nails look excellent! I think there are only two ladies working there, and they're usually too busy for walk-ins, so if you want their services, call and make an appointment. I never have a hard time making an appointment over the phone. They are closed on Sundays and Wednesdays, but if they are open, I always see them answering the phone. I won't go anywhere else- I think the excellent service they provide is worth it! read more

Fantastic! I have never felt so pampered - the hot stone massage is terrific & the staff is friendly, cheerful and great sense of humour! This was a treat from a friend and WOW - I WILL BE BACK OFTEN! read more
