    Nails by Michael at Velvet Nails
    Lorena G.

    I love everything about this salon. Been coming here for almost 10 years and I will continue coming. They are extremely kind, respectful and welcoming. The service is fast and the work is very professional. Love VELVET NAILS!

    My latest nail polish and flower decoration.

    This is still my favorite nail salon in the valley. Very Affordable. Loyal staff. My friends and I all love it. They replaced their massage chairs after the pandemic so those are nice and comfy. My pedicure lasts a month (and I take jazz dance and am hard on my feet!).

    I've been coming here for 5 years and it's the best place. They just renovated and now it's even brighter and more vibrant. It's a good location with parking. Michael does my gel manicures and Vivian does my pedicure. They're both so kind and let me tell you their massage skills are top notch.

    My lady brought me in this beautiful zen place to get our feet pedicures. The experience was very nice and even though I'm very ticklish the person who massaged my feet made me feel very welcome & provided amazing service. I feel like I am walking on a cloud!

    Cut pinky from a cuticle trim I didn't ask for

    They charged me $30 to remove my gel manicure which they didn't fully remove. When they asked if I wanted a manicure I said no. They asked if I wanted them 'cleaned up' and I said sure, thinking they meant filed. They removed the color from my nails but not the bottom gel coat. Trimmed my cuticles and cut my pinky. Filed my nails and put some lotion on my hands. $30. When he told me the total I said what that's too much? He just kept saying I got a manicure and I kept saying I did not. Ended up paying. Called and explained my dissatisfaction, and he just kept saying we cleaned up your nails. I will never go back. Would not recommend.

    Walked in on a Sunday and was helped right away. I got a manicure done by Michael - he did a great job and gave a good massage . The salon was clean and prices were great -they also had plenty of employees working. This is a 10/10 recommend . I will be back.

    Perfect gel pedicure every time

    I've been coming here for over a decade and even bring my daughters with me now. I'm never disappointed. The staff is all so friendly and they do an amazing job.

    Definitely do not recommend going with the guy, this was not what I asked for. Messed up on my French Tip nails

    The service was just awful. My gel manicure was rushed, the filing was so rough I asked for it to be stop, he didn't. My cuticles are uneven. The gel color is on the side of my nails along with the top coat. I asked for it to be cleaned up, didn't happen. My color is smeared, and again I pointed it out and nothing. I have gel top coat on the inside of my nails and not once did he use acetone to remove it. I am so incredibly disappointed considering it was just a gel manicure. I paid $43 for a less than decent job and should've trusted my intuition when I sat down and had acetone dripping down my hands with the foil. I can't even appreciate any of it because the service, detail and overall experience was awful.

    THIS was definitely the worst experience I've had ST VELVET NAILS!! Let start off by saying the lady who sits in front did them.

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS was definitely the worst experience I've had ST VELVET NAILS!! Let start off by saying the lady who sits in front did them. I simply asked for a SOAK OFF, she proceeded with a ripping off of my nails!! Literally the worst pain ever because she was so careless and blamed it on the facts that I had nails prior to. NO. She literally had no concern about caring or nurturing my real nails. Didn't even try to be gentle. Even after making all 3 fingers bleed no sorry nothing!! Just blaming it on the person prior to that did my nails. No you're just being careless. After she cut me she put blue solution on it and some thin paper and still tried to freaking keep cutting.. it was damn near bare skin not a nail in sight. She had already yanked my shit off. CARELESS Even after I kept asking her. I couldn't stop the process either because I had somewhere to be within a few hours and needed them all off. This unprofessional "soak off" turned into my shredded nailed HEALING FOR WEEKS!!! And my damn pedi the old dude did them. And yeah his ass don't understand shit you say. I asked for square shape he proceeded to square round and was rushing like a mfer!!!!

    I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I left this appointment feeling really uncomfortable…read moreand like I was made to feel badly about the situation, which made the experience even worse. I had a 9:30 AM appointment and was there for nearly 4 hours, only to leave unhappy with my nails. The biggest issue was communication. I showed the nail tech both a photo and a video of the design I wanted, but she barely looked at them and didn't communicate with me throughout the service. I clearly asked for a cat eye design only at the top of the nail, blended downward. Instead, she did a full cat eye on the entire nail. When I pointed it out, she rolled her eyes, seemed annoyed, and removed everything. She then tried to do a French tip version of cat eye, which still wasn't what I asked for. I tried to explain and show her the video and picture again, but she became visibly frustrated, made faces, called another tech over, and walked away without saying anything to me. The second tech was kind and did try to help but I had to wait over an hour to be helped by her. She checked in with me on each nail and asked if I liked it, and I did appreciate that. However l, I just wanted to show her the picture and for her to go based off of that, but it seemed that both of them didn't just want to look at it closely and then do my nails from that. At one point, I left the picture open and towards her so she can reference it, but she wouldn't look at it . Over all, because everything felt rushed, it also made the situation uncomfortable, like I was being overly critical or didn't know what I wanted, when I had already provided a clear reference. Despite her effort, the work still felt rushed. The final result was closer to what I had asked for, but the shaping was uneven and overall the work felt sloppy. There was also no proper cleanup under the Gel X nails, and I had to fix that myself at home. Overall, the lack of communication, dismissive attitude, and rushed work made this a really disappointing experience.

    I've been here more than a handful of times now since moving down the block. What keeps me coming…read moreback is the quality AND longevity of their gel manis and pedis. They easily last at least a month! The salon is quiet and nestled on the second floor of a fairly busy plaza. After my mani/pedi, I treat myself to a donut on the first floor. The employees here are all super nice and welcoming. I don't request anyone upon booking as I'm happy with any of the technicians' services. Extra thank you to the owner, Linda, for accommodating my change in appointment time last minute today. I know it was busy given the day before thanksgiving, and could not be happier with her customer service. 10/10 recommend this salon!!!

    First time getting a Russian pedicure & it will NOT be my last! Officially converted!…read more Sabina took me in as practically a walk in & my oh my, was she the SWEETEST! Very knowledgeable, walked me through everything (since it was my 1st time) & even recommended me to a podiatrist around the corner from the salon (I suffer from ingrowns!) The vibe here is 100/10. It's a nice little oasis, the music is chill enough but also, vibey. The decor here is CUTE! I felt such peace as soon as I walked in! You really forget you're on the busy Ventura Blvd in this little oasis. Will be returning soon!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable and needs to be shared. I…read morewish I could leave it NO STARS. I went in for a very basic manicure and polish--nothing complicated. Without my consent or any explanation, the technician used a drill on my nails and cuticles. This resulted in visibly damaged cuticles, hangnails, torn skin that lasted over a week and was infected and sore and deep indentations filed into multiple nails. And it hurt while she was doing it. This is not normal for a standard manicure, and it's damage that now has to grow out over time. Improper use of a drill can also risk long-term nail bed damage, which is extremely concerning. To make matters worse, the polish application itself did not hold up. Within less than 24 hours, my polish was already lifting and ruined. I wasn't working, cooking, or doing anything that would cause premature wear. I've been getting manicures for years and have never had polish fail this quickly. What was most disappointing was how the situation was handled. I approached them calmly and gave them the opportunity to make it right. Instead of taking accountability, they deflected responsibility and ultimately blamed me. No refund--partial or full--was offered. The only resolution suggested was a discount on a future visit, which is not appropriate given the condition they left my nails in. As someone in the beauty industry, I understand that mistakes can happen. However, professionalism is defined by how you handle those mistakes. In this case, there was a clear lack of accountability and customer care. I will be including photos for reference so others can make an informed decision. I would strongly advise others to think twice before patronizing this business knowing how they treat their customers when they are not happy. Bottom line is I went in to get my nails done for a special occasion to feel and look pretty and I left in much worse condition then my nails have ever been. I paid for this to happen to me and they still kept my money!

I had to say hello to my tech 5 mins or so into being serviced, she wasn't very chatty (which I prefer). she clearly wasn't welcoming or particularly happy to be working with my nails (I think she dislikes cat eye polishes). It could have been that they were just overbooked or short staffed.. not sure.? Didn't seem busier than they normally are. I wasn't offered a drink nor snacks like I was previously which kind of sucked considering this was a 5:30 appointment that I showed up on time to. I kind of banked on a small snack before dinner but that's OK. Anyway.. The new tech took 1hr 30min to remove gel x (removal took 30min) and a gel mani (this service took a whole hour). The technician was really struggling trying to make a heart shape with the magnet that moves the cat eye effect. My previous tech has always been able to accomplish this without issues and quickly. I honestly didn't even think it was difficult considering that all other salons are able to do it within one attempt. I also disliked that the technician kept dropping the tools and then would put them on her cart. She started spraying alcohol on them to sanitize after she noticed me looking at the cart. I think the manicure itself (trimming nails, cuticle clean up and nail shaping/ prep) was great. I'd recommend people to get a classic manicure. Not confident that I'd recommend a special effect nail. Previously I was able to get waxed, a pedicure, and a new gel x mani all within an hour so it was a little upsetting to spend nearly two hours for something was a bit more simple than my previous experience. Mind you, previous set was Gel X and this time around was my natural nail. Not too sure if I will come back considering price point & quality. Note: My two favorite techs are no longer employed at this salon (due to relocation) so I was rescheduled the morning of my appointment with a tech I have never been serviced with. I was rescheduled twice which is OK. I still tipped because they put in the time but were not able to execute.

On one visit they scraped way too deep with the callous remover on my foot drawing a lot of blood. I yelped in pain and the technician felt bad and brought me band-aids. It was an accident but the owner not only didn't apologize or acknowledge that it happened (she was there the whole time), she was visibly angry that I made a commotion and was extremely rude to me and my party for the rest of the visit. When we checked out, she coldly said she removed the callous treatment from my bill. I didn't come back for a year or so, but decided to give it a try for my daughter's GelX nails. They completely botched them (see images), did a sloppy job all around, and tried to blame us by saying they couldn't do the marbled effect in the inspo image, but they never made that clear (huge language barrier) or we wouldn't have proceeded. We nicely asked if there was a different technician who might be more skilled at doing what we requested and they said no. So we asked them to remove the nails and they told us they didn't have time (there were no other customers in the salon and there were three technicians). They told us to call the salon phone number and talk to the owner, who then ordered them to remove the nails. The owner said she was an hour away so would not be able to help us, but then miraculously appeared from the back but did not want to see the photos of the bad work. While she gave us a refund, this review is about the attitude and complete lack of customer service. Had she acknowledged it wasn't right and tried to make it right in a somewhat friendly way, we probably still would have returned. Shame on us for giving it another try but won't make that mistake again.
