List Best 18 Nail Salons in Salinas, CA (Part 2)

Mayra Luquin BEST place to get a pedicure in town! Takes her time and does an amazing job! Very well recommended!!

Lucia Tapia Best place to get a pedicure. Mary is very friendly and is a pro when it comes to pedicures. Ive been going to her for 10+ years. Highly recommended.

Sharwan Lal Love their service of hairstyles and waxing. The people are so nice. They talk to us and we talk back to them. It’s like we’re friends

ANGiE ANGELiNA Great service and good prices I been going since they open and I love it

Jorge RUELAS gentlemen this is the best place to get your hair and Nails yes Nails done, the ladies are very good and kind, drop in welcome but you should call them for a appointment

Maria Schell Very clean, my manicurists were very nice, respectful. The two work on me I was out in about an hour for mani pedi. Plus, they did a great work!!! I definitely return.

Magpayo Joanna (Jam) Finally!!! A nail place I like. Katie was very careful and gentle with my pedicure and Kim did great with my nails finally got the shape I like and removed my cuticles without cutting me. This is a great place for nails. Never going anywhere else.

Madison Herrera My favorite place to get nails done! My nails always come out so good and the designs & shape are always so perfect. Kim is my personal favorite for designs and shape but all of the girls that have done my pedicures were good too.

elise The people were friendly and the prices werent bad, I paid $30 since I got different colors and this is gel nail polish. The only thing that frustrated me a bit is that the colors did not really match what I wanted and I just wish they had more of a variety but the staff were friendly and my nails look good (:

Familia Mascote They were great, friendly and very efficient. I was visiting from Oregon and I was pretty happy with the manicure I got.

Liliana Garcia First time doing Pedicure. Love it. Im very ticklish on my feet she went slow and asked how Im doing eveytime which made me feel secure. Did Pedi and Mani at the same time. Love it totally going back.

Savannah Lind Ok let’s start with I asked for French tip artificial nails with design and studs. Was told he could do it. I got a pedicure first which was amazing and nails great job for just French tip on my natural nails but my finger nails aren’t great. I had to ask for them to be made softer cause the tips were way too sharp and even then I had to file when I got home. Nails look wonky and he said ok I can do flower design so we went on my phone and chose a white flower but he did yellow and red? Never said yellow or red? When checking out with another guy he told Henry to go back and put a diamond on the flowers. So yes they have them and came out good if you’re looking from afar but up close too thick and not what I wanted. I hate doing bad reviews but man I haven’t been to a nail salon in 4 years and I get this. I still paid cause I know everyone needs to learn and I could see and tell everyone else there does a great job but he did not he needs time to learn unless he is doing your feet. Oh also it’s been a few hours and studs are already off on one nail

Juana Laura Sierra I usually go here for my pedicures. It’s a hit or miss with the ladies but overall they do a good job . I’m unsure of her name but she did my pedicure yesterday and I don’t know if she poke too deep but now my big toe is swollen not only that when she was working with the drill she got my skin a bit and now I have tiny cuts . Maybe it was an off day for her but even when she was doing the massage and wiping everything off she was being too rough. I got the $50 pedicure and I was hoping a better service than what she offer.

Erika Gregorio don’t even bother in calling asking for the estimate wait time. They will lie to you and claim there is no wait. Once you get to the salon they won’t tell you the time wait unless you put in your number to be in the list.

Martha Luna My experience was great. But I couldn’t help but notice there was a big wait. Moms bring their children and it’s quite distracting for the mom and the worker. This establishment is very well known; it’s best to make an appointment.

Pamela Reid The ladies were very sweet but this was not a good experience. I sat twisted in a dining chair while one lady crouched to do my pedicure in an at home pedicure bucket and the other hurriedly did my nails. I was finished within a half hour. She painted my nails with my sandles on. Then charged me $52.

Isaura Garcia Ive been here four times. I really appreciate the care and profesionalism from both manicurists. They are patient and dont rush. I always try a different look for my nails. This time around, "⚽ World Cup"! Colombia

rosemary uribe The staff are friendly and professional. The technician was meticulous in her work, ensuring every detail was perfect and my nails look absolutely stunning!

ana Galvan I been coming here for some time now and it seemed to be ok but at that time I would only ask for some mani pedi with just color no design nothing. So little by little I would notice their quality started going down they use the same utensils never new they kept cutting meandering rough. This last time just today I went again (I go every 2 weeks no more then 3 weeks go by) I asked for a half and half one half my finger being one color and the other a different color and they couldnt even do that it took almost the whole damn salon to try and do a simple design and then the owner wants to kind of be rude about it because she tried to put to colors on top of one another. Id think after so long and being a continuous client shed be more friendly nope and then they have the nerve to speak amongst themselves about it so one of the ladies finally got it and it was not the greatest job but I just let it be and not complaint because I just wanted to get out already. They left nail polish all over my fingers look it was just so sloppy. Also they dont have none of their license posted to where you should be able to see them when working not one! I was just very unhappy Ill be taking my services elsewhere!

Cynthia Rodriguez I have been coming here for awhile now. I am quiet, do not complain, am a very easy going customer, and I tip very well. Originally, I remember the reviews on here not being good but I took them at face value and decided to not judge a book by its cover. In the beginning, I think I was just happy to find a place that was low-key and that was good about accepting walk-ins, so I feel that I have ignored a lot of the bad service and poor quality of work. Over time the customer service has become so disappointing. Many of the workers treat you with bare minimum customer service and do not value their customers business. In addition to this, the quality of their work varies. I have had pedicures from every person that works there, which means skills will vary (understandable) however, whats not understandable or acceptable is when you make an appointment with the ladies that you know to typically produce quality work and then they rush you through your appointment, hurting you and cutting you with the file, just to get the next person waiting. Horrible to treat good, returning customers like their business means nothing. At my most recent "appointment" I had to wait 30 minutes and then received the most disappointing service. From my pedicure to my nails, it was all rushed and the end results was dissatisfying. I will no longer be a customer here.

Cassandra Terrible Service! Lady was so rude . If she didn’t want to do my nails she could’ve let me know and I could’ve taken my business somewhere else. She rushed through the whole process of doing my nails resulting in them looking horrible and they weren’t busy at all . I did ask her to redo my gel and to be honest it didn’t make a difference. So if you’re thinking of going here I’d suggest maybe trying a different nail salon. also just a day after getting my nails done the clear top coat gel turned yellow.

Shannan Padilla I had such a bad experience here today at LG nails. I have been coming here for over 12 years and never had a problem until today . The lady that works at the first seat to the left as you walk in was one of the worst nail techs I have ever experienced. She was so rude and not capable of doing a good job I asked if another nail tech could take over and help fix her mistake but they said they were to busy. I allowed her to continue to finish my nails .She hurt me and scratched me three times I told her and was very upset at this point . She couldnt seem to figure out how to do the correct shape to my nails it was just awful. They then tried to over charge me at the end .I spoke with the manager who was extremely rude . A customer walked in to get her nails done witness how rude they were treating me looked at my nails and said she wouldnt be getting her nails done there and walked out with me . I believe that was instant karma to them and I really appreciate that lady for having my back ❤️ I will make sure to never give them my business as long as my family and friends who have also been going for years . Learn how to do nails and treat your customers or do t work there !!

Jackie DeSmet Always a great job & well done and a friendly clean environment. Yen is my favorite nail tech. Always straight, smooth, not thick, and shaped the way I like. Yen also does a lot of artsy, sparkly & fun nails. I have never been cut or handled roughly. Yen also does my pedicures. Heavenly!!! I get the most expensive pedicure with the hot stone massage and parabin wax tratment. I get my hair cut colored and highlighted (weaved with foil) by Cindy. Cindyis really a talented cosmetologist and I am super picky!!! Cindy is intuitive with me. Always understands what I am wanting to have done. Her hair prices are super reasonable for the quality stylist she has become and for this area $$$$. I have been going here for 3 years. I love this shop.

Samantha Samaniego DO NOT COME HERE i got a gel pedicure and the very next day I randomly notice 4 toes are bald no gel polish it lifted off so easily I didn’t even feel or notice it happening. I go the next day and ask to get it fixed but manager was extremely rude, didn’t believe I had gotten my pedicure there until I showed her the transaction and even then she was very passive aggressive and seemed upset she had to fix it. She fixed it on the 7th, then yesterday I notice 3 toes are completely bald again, no gel polish sitting on them at all. What a waste of 60 dollars seriously never come here.

GKC MBA NIC ED: K-12 EIPA I come here for mani/pedi’s regularly and I love the work they do!

Yolanda Martinez Lee does a great job with eyebrow waxing. She takes her time.. gives pleasant conversation. Lee keeps her waxing area nice and tidy. She has always been a pleasure to visit. I also appreciate that she gives an honest timeframe. She will say come back in 10 minutes or half an hour.. etc.. and she is good on her word. Today was another great visit

GG Lopez Excellent service. Ive been going there for many many years. Lee & Robert work hard and we like them ALOT. Lee does great. If I go anywhere else my polish falls off like the 2-3 day. Shes the best. Robert does my pedicure. Does great job as well. Thank you Lee & Robert. Ill be your faithful customer always. Georgie

Samantha T Great job! Nice staff, lots of color choices, reasonable prices.

Samantha Regalado I’ve been in that store a couple of times and also was followed around more than once. Employees are very rude and disrespectful. They also sell monomers that say are ema but are mma so sad for us nail techs trying to avoid mma and end up using it on our clients.

Isabel Padilla I am a nail tech and I love this store I always come in for my nails supplies . Sometimes they don’t have need but most of the time they do and I will always go back ❤️❤️

Sarahi Herrera I went in with my brother and was followed around like if I was going to steal. Even though I was frequent client… rather make the trip to San Jose than to be treated horribly.

Natalie Vongsana They have a good selection of products and gels but I had gotten their ‘premium crystal acrylic’ and it was a very weird texture and wouldn’t dry properly. I should’ve known when I had got home and opening it to see that it wasn’t sealed. I was really hoping it would’ve been my new clear acrylic. Edit; I’ve changed my review because I had gotten this Cateye gel polish from here before I had to go visit my brother meaning I haven’t used it since I got it and when I came back yesterday to use it, it was completely clumpy. I’m not sure if it was defective or old product but I’m very unhappy

Ashley Mendez The ladies are really nice. However, last time I came, the man pried off my acrylics piece by piece using a nail tip.

Amy Rocha i would put 0 stars if i could. went to get my nails done and the man who did them hurt most if not all of my fingers. i was bleeding for around 20 minutes but the man proceeded to paint my nails and drag the blood into the nail. when i pointed out that my fingers hurt and the paint job was not good he got upset and raised his voice at me saying he wasn’t going to do my nails anymore. he was being very aggressive on my nails as shown in the picture. he was also reusing old nail files and sponges. usually im not one to make reviews but just thought I’d share in case anyone planned on getting their nails done here.

Cynthia Bernal I like the pedicure every two weeks. However you have to make sure they charge you correctly. I was just in there. I was told 45$. Usually it’s 40$. I leave 5 or more for tip. I don’t understand why I’m charged 55$.00. Absolutely not letting that happen. I will call tomorrow. Please be careful when it comes to the paying part. Otherwise they are great!!!

Layla L M First time coming into ProTop ll Nails. Customer service is excellence at its best. My nail tech was very friendly, knowledgeable and took time on my nails. Their technique sets the bar high in nail care standards. I’m from NY and this was one of the best experiences I ever had. If you want your nails coming out jaw-dropping, stop by here. You won’t be disappointed.

Amadis Quintero Awful! I called to say I was going to be 10 minutes late for my appointment. I made it just in time. I walk in and Linda is with somebody doing a pedicure which is understandable (I was late). About 20-30 min later Linda starts on my nails. As linda puts the tips on me this lady that Tom (Linda’s husband) starts working on says she has an appointment with Linda which wasn’t on her appointment book but to not upset the lady. Linda then says “you wait I do for you”. I am a good, understanding person say “sure, okay”. I then notice the lady wanted a full set of acrylic. Again other 30-40 minutes for me to wait. My daughter wanted a REGULAR GEL COLOR WITH HEARTS. As Linda is doing my nails my daughter comes to me to say her hearts don’t look right. Linda hears my daughter and says “I will fix for you don’t worry”. I thought Linda would fix it from scratch but no! She just made them look worse!! I also asked how much my nails would be “I don’t know until we finish because it takes time”. So finally after being there from 11:40-3:00 it’s time to pay. I then head to the bathroom when I am walking out Linda says it’s $15 dollars more because the other lady did a manicure on my daughter and she didn’t know. I said “I didn’t know either because I didn’t ask for that. I asked for gel color. Linda says “your daughter needed it”. I said but I didn’t ask for it. Linda says “so it’s $15 dollars more okay”. I stay quiet thinking do I go off on her for so many reasons or stay calm and let Karma handle Linda. So, I paid and left. Before asking me about the $15 extra for my daughter. I gave her a $10 tip because I liked the DESIGN only the design on my nails but as I looked my nails are way to thick and lumpy! I felt cheated and robbed! DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. I paid $25 for my 7 year olds gel color and some messed up hearts!! For mine $75 + 10 for a tip I shouldn’t have given Linda. That’s because I am a good person. Karma’s a b****!!

Mayra Macias I walked in on a Friday morning without an appointment and Linda greeted me and asked what I needed and immediately took me in. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me just that. Its my 2nd time coming to this place but I will definitely be a returning customer! Linda and Tom are both lovely people that take pride in their work.

Nad Wil I love coming here. Linda and Tom are very kind and hospitable. I get my manicures and pedicures regularly here and highly recommend them!

Melissa Hernandez Linda was amazing! They are so welcoming, fun and do amazing work. My daughter loved her nails that Linda fit her homecoming!

Jada Warren - Evans Don’t usually leave reviews but I am very disappointed with this service. I got a gel pedicure about three days ago here and already the polish is disappearing entirely and cracking / lifting. During my appointment I had to remind my technician (an older gentleman) that he didn’t turn on the curing light or that he forgot to apply a top coat to my nails and the pedicure process (for a classic, basic pedicure) took a total of 2 and a half hours. I was hoping that given the time it took the nails to be completed they’d be acceptable but I’m frustrated that I have to pay to get another pedicure somewhere else so soon :(

Rosie Ochoa Went to this nail shop, for the first time 2 days ago based on the high reviews, to get a fill. Not sure if the nail tech was having an off day but the work was sloppy for the price. Polish under my nails, some not not fully covered with polish and powder bumps here and there . Nail polish started higher on some nails . They said wait time would be 5 min. Waited 15-20. They are nice people.

madilynn brown Absolutely amazing with definitely be coming back as a regular, they did amazing in my nails and when I visited I was unfortunate and didn’t have someone to watch my 9 month for me so as I struggled to get her calm and get my set done they offered to help and distracted and played with her which was so over beyond amazing and incredible can’t thank them enough. The photos don’t give mouth justice.

GKC MBA NIC ED: K-12 EIPA Great work! Wonderful service, including giving me a bottle of water!

Andrea Campanile I love this salon! Every time I go in I get treated very well. The staff is super friendly. Kelly and David and so sweet! Swan and David did my nails today (the ombre), but Kelly has done them before as well (the pink and black set). Every time I come out super satisfied. The location is very convenient for me and theyre always available for walk in.

Amanda Vo I just came here last week to get my nails done for an upcoming date later that day and my nails came out great! I highly recommend David for acrylic nails as he does a very nice job with shaping them. Also got my eyebrows waxed too and they came out very clean and even. My nails are still intact and the paint job is as clean as ever. Got a new regular client!

Letricia Rogers I have been going there for years and I love the service. I have never been disappointed. David, Kelly and the entire staff has always provided me with outstanding service. David can do any design you want on your nail. Sometimes it’s best to let him work his magic. Try them , you just might like them.

Mayra Valdes I was in the area and decided to give this place a try. End result, I was disappointed. Needed my nails done for my baby shower and I chose a simple color. Final result was bumpy, uneven color. During the process the nail guy kept hurting me. He kept digging his nail on the side of my finger. I would pull away but it kept happening. The only thing that I was satisfied with was the color itself. But the service was one of the worst I have had. Not worth my money.

cynthia romero Efrain does a great cut! My boys are super picky but this young guy knows what hes doing. He used straight razor and really pays attention to detail. We def will be going back for sure!!

Ernesto Leyva Worst place I have took my boys to they took forever to cut my boys hair and did a horrible job the ladies there do no know what they are doing at all. They tried charging me 20 dollars for each of them I laughed and said no way am I paying that. One of my boys doesnt even want to go to school cause if how bad they cut his hair now I need to find someone to fix it. WORST PLACE EVER DO NOT GO HERR THE LADIES HERE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

Fun While It Lasted Friendly hairdressers! I unfortunately had arrived little after closing time and really needed a haircut, they gladly welcomed me in. Great service! Thank you!

K Wilson My son had his hair cut here and said it was the best service he ever received from a beauty salon. Very nice & professional service.

Esteban Solis I told them how mich inches I wanted and they keep cutting and if you tell them to stop they dont listen I would go to another place if I were you guys

Frank Baca Went to have a pedi/mani with my daughter. We were sat at the pedicure chairs with only two employees working and the owner. After 20 minutes, the owner took the polish off one of my feet. Two customers came in and said they had appts, but the owner said they were over an hour late. So, she told me and my daughter to come back. When I told her that we could not come back, she said that she had to take the 2 appts that came late. So I took my feet out of the water and left with one foot unpolished, and my daughter was completely ignored. Seems unprofessional and we are regular customers who were treated unfairly.

Veronica Collado This past weekend was the worst experience ever at BC Nails. My sister and I walked in for pedicures and manicures with gel. The man there was very rude to begin with. Was poking my sisters toenail. When he got to her fingernails, he was even more rude, laughing at the color of her nail polish. My sister asked him if he liked her polish and he gave her a look and laughed and said no.. The lady that was attending me had no idea what she was even doing. I had tips on my fingernails and I just wanted gel polish over then. She ended up melting off my tips. She cut me, I think about 45 minutes later she was not even close to finishing and I had to tell my to charge and I was done. The man was yelling at my sister because he felt the need to charge me for a take off when the manicurist melted my tips off. I paid and left no tip because he was very rude and I was bleeding.. Very unprofessional business..

Rachel Gruenewald-Overman Ive come here for years and always been happy with my experience, but this last time I got an infection on my toe. It was a skin infection, not a nail infection. I had to do 2 rounds of antibiotics and when that didnt work I had to have half of the nail removed. Its been over a month and its still healing. Im not sure what happened this time that was different than the other times Ive been, but I dont think Ill be coming here again.

Rosario Romero Love this location for pedicures! My go to girls are Nina and Mary I 100% recommend them for all your needs! They take there time to make sure your comfortable, get what your paying for, and are efficient with there work.

Sherri Arias I only go here if I can’t get in anywhere anywhere else because it’s typically easy to get in That being said the pedicures they do are really nice, but the manicures are not My gel polish was not smooth and within a week started peeling away I’m not sure if I will go back here at all

Shantel Valadez I got my nails done 1 month ago the lady there was super nice and did my nails exactly how I wanted but the reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is because the glue didn’t really hold my nice good together but do hold a long time really recommend place

Hernan Oros Took my mom here because she wanted a pedicure, but also got her a manicure. Staff was friendly and they did a great job and made her feel relaxed and she liked the work they did and when she was feeling hot, they got her a little fan, they were very patient while she was deciding to choose a color for her feet. I got my feet done, the woman who did my feet is a champ, she took her time and took who knows how many years of callous, never felt my feet soft. I never came to this kind of place, but the prices seem fair and it was quality work. Mom was happy with it.

Yesica Robledo Worst place ever do not waist your time and money on this place!!!! The people there dont even know how to do nails there was 3 people that worked on my nails because they all didnt know what they were doing. I went with my daughter and her friend and it was the same for all and other girls there too. They wanted to charge extra for everything else. For length, color and shape like isnt it all in nudes??. We ask for color and a flower only on one nail and the lady wanted to charge $85 plus everything else. Our nails came out pumpy and ugly and overcharge. DO NOT GO IN THERE!!!!!

Unknown User Honestly worst pedicure I have ever gotten. Did not clean my toe nail properly and did a horrible job with my French tips. I am not the type to complain or leave reviews but this was awful. Very Messy work I was so disappointed. The lady is very nice and outgoing but her job was not good at all.

Ally Geez I absolutely love the way the did my nails…They are very professional and the shop is extremely clean and nice….5stars for sure

Sam Robinson Okay but not great. It all depends on who you get. The younger woman is the best. The man is the worst. I got a pedicure and 3 days later the polish was off of 3 nails. I also got a manicure with gel polish (in the pictures). Two nails had the polish peel off in less than a week. Gel usually last 3 weeks. This was by the man. A month ago I got the same thing from the younger woman and it was great. Thats why I went back.

Alondra Sanchez She did a horrible job. When I told her I did not like the design she got mad and rolled her eyes and wanted to charge me more to fix the bad job she had done. She has no professional ethics. Talked back to the client with attitude. She cares more about the money than doing a good job. She rushed in doing my friends and my nails.

Galindo Sam “Terp” Late one night when other salons were closing they took me in. I was amazed by the great job they did I became a repeat customer. As long as I will be in salinas I will come here. I even sent some coworkers here and they liked it as well.

Anissa Gooden asked for French tips and this is what I got:( she was lazy and just glued white tips to my nails and put clear coat on like? I don’t complain often but it was just ridiculous lol

Ruby Gallegos Horrible pedicure. The woman was going to use tools on me that she had used on the previous client. I told her I didnt want those. I shouldve left but I had a gift card. My gel pedi lasted 4 days because the nail polish was applied horribly. The gel was on my skin and didnt cover the nail completely. Not the most hygienic place. They reuse the same packets of lotion on multiple people. My daughter received a very mediocre pedi. First and last time going to this establishment.

Marialuara Hernández López A really bad bad service I didnt like how she ended up doing my nails I wanted something Kauai with my own 3D little charms that I brought she was charging me for this b******* 60 bucks and she wanted to charge me $20 more for adding two more colors like little lines and for putting my own 3D charms never coming here again

Sonia Carranza Got an eyebrow wax here, lady was super aggressive and kind of rude and she tried to charge me for a service I never asked for. I went in there only trying to get my eyebrows done, however she offered me a nose blackhead removal, I replied with no that’s okay maybe another day, however she still did it. Thinking it was an extra free service she did to be nice I was fine with it, however upon paying she tried charging me $30. Plus she also cut under my eyebrow after finishing up with a razor.

MARi SOl Accepts Apple Pay ! Very nice clean, smells fresh. Lady’s where super attentive and making sure I was happy with my nails

jannymm jannymm I asked for soak offs and the lady started cutting my acrylic nails and taking them out forcefully without any soaking I told her they were hurting and she would not stop and she ripped my real nail out. She didn’t even put anything on them just left them like that in that case I would have done it myself but I did not because I didn’t want to damage my real nail but she ended up damaging them even more.

Letty Jimenez Came in for pedicure and honestly my toes are in pain. She cut me and was so aggressive . I also don’t think they are sanitizing the tools I hope I don’t catch fungus.
