Top Reviews about 12 Nail Salons in Watsonville, CA

Tabitha Valdivia Hands down best service every time. Nancy makes you feel very comfortable when you are in a very uncomfortable position ie Brazilian. I’ve gotten many services there body sculpting, facials, waxing. All girls know what they are doing and are so sweet, friendly and very professional every time. I LOVE their skin care. All natural products they make themselves and Nancy is able to explain each and every one and what the benefits are. Highly recommend, 10 out of 10!

Janie i come once a month for a facial and ive noticed a HUGE improvement with my skin over the last 6 months. i love just being able to close my eyes and relax for an hour. i always look forward to my next appointment!

Bri Bruce I am so happy I discovered Olivia’s Heritage! Their place is super cozy and their staff is so kind and thorough. It’s obvious they’re passionate about what they do and about helping other look and feel their best. America completely transformed my eyebrows with a lamination, tint, and shape and they’ve never looked better. Can’t wait to try their skincare products! Will be a loyal customer.

plumpub1 Lee is THE best.

LILY PETERS Her services and overall experience is incredible! She’s so kind and amazing to work with, and the quality of her work is incomparable. You can tell she loves what she does because it shows in everything that she does

April Vasquez Went to get a manicure. Lady was in a rush, didn’t cut my cuticles, cut me TWICE, left acrylic all over my fingers, didn’t completely cover nail with clear coat there are some dull spots on all nails

Edward Morin Went to get nails done for my bday party and one of the ladies helped me out. During the process I noticed on one hand it wasn’t matching the others with the glitter/shiny part. I told the lady and she blamed me for not putting it in the light long enough. I told her I did do that and she said I didn’t lol. Ok. So she told me to put it under the light and after I told her it wasn’t matching still. She said it would look better under the sunlight. I paid $60 for me and my daughter’s nails (she just got a pink color nothing crazy) and went outside. It looked off, but maybe it was me. As soon as I got to the car I asked my husband and he said it was way off. I went home and called the lady and she said to fix it it would be $10 extra to fix something she messed up on so I said no it’s ok. A couple hours later I got a payment update to my card that they charged an extra $5 for some reason?!?!

S Anne is amazing , she always makes sure Im happy with my nails/waxing. If she does not have an open appointment, when I call to schedule she always returns my call with a time she knows is convenient for me. She creates a very welcoming environment and literally remembers every single customers name that walks through the door.

Monica Hamilton I made an appointment for dipped fingernails. Turns out they only have a dipped base coat, which they paint over with regular nail polish! REALLY??? Needless to say my nail polish was cracked on all 10 fingers within 24 hours. I went back the next day and they saw what a mess my nails were. They told me to come back another day when the owner would be able to help me. What? I am supposed to live and go to work with nails that are peeling off? Why didnt they take my number and have the owner contact me? Apparently they have no service recovery skills - and from the recent reviews they need it. And they need a better business plan. How deceitful to make an appointment for dipped nails when you dont even have the products!! Dont waste your precious money or time.

R PM DONT come here! Save your time and money and go elsewhere! I came to get my nails done for my daughters wedding and the lady said they looked ugly because THATS HOW THE COLOR I CHOSE SETTLED AND DRIED. cheap quality, horrible job!! Horrible experience, they still made me pay for their horrible poor job! They didnt even bother to clean up the edges or fix the parts where the paint was coming off.

Kaitlyn Dam Magaña Very detail oriented when it comes to acrylic nails! You wont leave unsatisfied, they listen to what you say and make sure its done the way you want. On top of that, their prices are very affordable for the work they do!

celeste lopez This place is very unprofessional. I had Madea appointment 1 week in advance and called the night before to confirm and all of a sudden I was not able to be seen. Appointments are not worth making. Lots of excuses . Owner said the other girl who made the appointment was sick. Well I never received a call. I would have shown up wasting my time to just be turned away due to their mistake. Accountability for your mistake would be nice. I warn you others do not go here this establishment is not up to A standard business.

Leonardo Martinez Doesnt respect appointments. Is happened twice that they dont respect appointments. The first time I accompanied my mother, who made an appointment a few days in advance. When we got there she was attending a different client and told us to come back later. Recently I went with a friend to get her nails done and they had left a young woman in charge even though she could not do nails or take appointments. Not her fault she wasnt allowed to do much and the bad management. She told us to make an appointment with the nail technician. So we did. When the time came for the appointment she backed down as she preferred to attend two other clients. Even though she was shown the message where she confirms the appointment she still didnt respect it. She clearly has favoritism amongst clients to where she doesnt respect new clients appointments. Dont recommend as they wont respect your appointment if your a new client. No respeta las citas. Pasó dos veces que no respetar las citas. La primera vez acompañé a mi madre, que hizo una cita con unos días de adelantado. Cuando llegamos allí ella estaba atendiendo a un cliente diferente y nos dijo que volviéramos más tarde. Recientemente fui con un amiga para obtener sus uñas. Habían dejado una mujer joven a cargo, aunque ella no podía hacer uñas o tomar citas. No es su culpa que no estaba permitida para hacer mucho y la mala administración. Nos dijo que hicieramos una cita con la técnica de uñas. Así que lo hicimos. Cuando llegó el momento de la cita, se nego, ya que prefería atender a otros dos clientes. A pesar de que se le mostró el mensaje donde confirma la cita, aún no la respeto. Claramente tiene favoritismo entre los clientes a donde no respeta las citas de nuevos clientes. No te recomiendes, ya que no respetarán tu cita si eres un cliente nuevo.

estefani rodriguez I like this place because they respect my time. The girls where super nice and friendly. They took the time to do my nails I love them

Sandra Medel Ann and flower are highly recommend if you’re looking for an acrylic nail set with design . I always get my nails done with Ann and will continue to go back . Fantastic work .

Jaira Safakish I had a flight the next day so I needed my nails done quickly. I was helped quickly, which was great, esp because I just needed gel. It felt rushed. My nails were uneven, so I had to ask them to fix that. My thumb nail was poorly painted, so I asked them to fix it, I was told it was fine, but it was not. They eventually redid it, but not before she used the file on me so harshly, it actually burned. When done, I had nail polish on my fingers. Also, not sure what theyre sanitation process looks like, but it didnt seem like much because she just grabbed someone elses file to file my nails down. I will not be returning.

Sarah K My pedicure was great, but my husbands, not so much. She cut his toe, deep, and it hurts!!

Alejandra Lopez Went in asked for a short french tip zebra acrylic set. Left with weird stripes that don’t even resemble zebra print. The lady doing my nails cut me twice, she seemed to be in a rush and was rough, my nails were left uneven and crooked, and i was charged $60 for work that i feel should’ve been way less than $60. Overall the worst salon Ive ever been to, won’t ever go back again

Kristal Alvarez Seemed pretty rushed. Nails were painted sloppy. They kinda cut me on my bigger toe.. it stung, plus they didn’t clean around the nails?!? Mind you this was $51 dollars when I had specifically asked for the GEL SPA PEDICURE $35!! Had to buy my own file after to fix them!!

Kimberly Egler Lady didn’t literally do ANYTHING to my feet. I kept telling her what I needed/should be done, but she didn’t understand. The lady that was doing my daughter’s pedicure could tell that nothing was being done for me, and actually just took over mine when she was done with my daughter. THIS was what was done to me in the end. Back, not bottom, of my heel was scraped raw from the pumice stone. Allegedly I was given the “deluxe spa pedicure.” I also didn’t see anyone wash their hands, pull instruments from peel packs and/or sanitize their hands nor equipment. 0/5 stars!

Natalie Garcia-Reyes They are very nice and did the exact design I asked them for. Elaine was the one who did my nails she takes her time and makes sure I was happy with my results.

Evelyn Bedolla My first time here because the nail salon that I’m a client of was closed due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I asked for a pedicure and a manicure, but the lady who did my manicure did not clean my cuticles well, she made me bleed from two fingers. She put too much nail polish on my nails, they looked so fat. My pedicure…. Oh my, the lady did a horrible job. I asked for short toe nails and she kept them long. I asked to be gentle due to my medical condition, yet she did not give a damn. She did not clean my cuticles at all. And the nail polish she used looked clumpy. The skin close to my nails was painted. It looked like a 5-year-old had painted my nails. I asked to re-paint my toenails and another lady painted them, she also did a horrible job. I ended up just asking to take the nail polish off. I was very unhappy with my pedicure and manicure. The lady who did my Mani had told me it was going to be 30 dollars but because I kept telling her how to do my nails she ended up charging me 40 dollars. For my pedicure, they were charging me 40 dollars and I told them no. I told them that I was willing to pay $25. They got mad but they granted me 25 dollars for my pedicure. I do not recommend this place, aside from doing a horrible job, the salon is dirty and unsanitary. Save your self a dollar and go to another salon.

Jennifer Jones I’m so very happy to finally found a great place to get my nails done and eyebrow wax also. I have been looking for about 3 months going from salon to salon in Watsonville hoping to find someone who can do my nails and my wax without hurting me as well as listen to what I actually would like done and do it. Finding a place who can do both , nails and wax , with great results , and be affordable has been so challenging. Almost gave up on being

S J I came on Friday (today)to get my nails done and I showed the lady a photo and she changed it and said this would look better I think they could of just done what I asked for

Katianne Ha I drive an hour to come here because it is the BEST. They always do my nails how I want and I always leave more than satisfied. Very nice service.

Aylin Montoya Bad customer service! In the beginning the person doing my nails was nice and as soon as i asked her if she could fix my nails that I had already spoken to her about she got mad and told me she was gonna remove it all. When I was paying her for her time and I would even double the cost if it meant I’d leave satisfied with the out come. Told me that I didn’t tell her there was something wrong when she had told me she was going to fix them in the end. I asked for French tips and all the nails were super thick, the shape wasn’t in the form I showed them, all 10 nails were uneven. In the end she removed the nail polish and I went home with no satisfaction of my nail appointment and her service. They made me pay 45 out of the 60 when I should have payed them nothing at all for wasting my time making me think they could do the job. If they told me to pay 20 understandable but they just left my nails beat up.

leonor medina If I could give 0 stars I would. I’ve been her a few times, but NEVER again!! Always a bad experience with the workers with them being rude or not wanting to do a simple design (flower, or lines, etc.) this last time I got the owner Michelle, and oh boy, she is extremely rude. They make you feel uncomfortable since you can tell that they are talking bad about you. Then when it came for my picking a color she throw the nails onto the table and asked what color with an attitude. Not even a minute passed when she asked again in a mad voice. I feel like they do it rushed and not professional. It hasn’t even been a whole day and the gel on my acrylic nails is already chipping, which has never happened before. Never again. Always a bad experience.

Caitlin Croghan Just got a manicure with Michelle. It was my first experience with her and her salon and it was a wonderful one! She is pleasant, diligent and efficient. As someone who is very new to getting my nails done, I’m pretty shy and self conscious about it, but she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I will definitely be going back.

Alondra Ruiz I would ignore the bad reviews if your a new person looking for a salon; Im sure the bad reviews are all a bunch of "Karens". I have been coming to this salon for many years and I have never walked out disappointed. Many of the reviews are talking about appointments and waiting long. I recommend making your appointments early between 10am-12pm. If you walk in in the afternoon you will definitely be waiting a while. People need to understand this place is a great salon so of course they will be busy, especially in the afternoons. As for some people saying Michelle is "rude" she is not, she is just a very serious person. Shes not coming to work to make friends shes there to do her job, which she does very well. Never fails at what you want done.

Carrie Lona has been doing my nails for many years a sweet kind soul who is talented beyond words. I’m not as adventurous as some with my nails but when I wanna switch it up Lona creates a masterpiece. A clean, above board beauty lounge that goes above and beyond for their loyal long time and new clients. You will not be disappointed with the experience, talent, and artistic abilities....true hard gel is a rarity and the quality is above and beyond!! I love my Lona appointments...and let’s talk compliments they are off the chart my nails speak for themselves!

m d I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! THE SERVICE IS BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY THE ART WORK AND SKILL IS SOMETHING IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BE YOUR GO TO G LONA FOES GREAT WORK! AND TRUST ME I USE TO DRIVE 35 MIN. AWAY TO GET MY NAILS DONE. NOW I GO TO LONA! TRY IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!
