List Best 21 Nail Salons in Modesto, CA (Part 3)

Cinna Bunny I visited the salon on August 5th around 12:30 pm as a walk-in, and was promptly attended to by Tammy, a friendly and attentive technician. I showed her a picture of the nail style I wanted, and she immediately began working on it. Throughout the process, we had a pleasant conversation, and I appreciated the relaxing music playing in the background. I opted for a simple yet elegant almond-shaped white French tip style. As a perfectionist, I did notice a few minor imperfections, but considering the nature of the work, I was very satisfied with the results. The total cost was $60, which was as expected. Tammy provided her number for future appointments, and I plan to call her for a fill after my vacation.

Victoria Anthony-Howard Tammy is the best! Weve been customers for years. My aunt and I get our Pedis done every month.

jessica meza I’ve been searching for a new nail salon for a while now and I’ve found a great one. They are kind and clear about prices. they also care customer is happy with final result. I did leave happy with my nails.

Shannitude H First time here, booked with Charles. He is fast, friendly and did an awesome job!! Definitely coming back and 100% recommend! Everyone there was super friendly and welcoming.

Antenette Jermanon Still see Tina shes pretty great at what she does she still recommends something that she thinks will work or not... and she NEVER overcharges. Ive been there for over a year and half and still same great service thats pretty amazing (from most everyone there) their happiness their attitude is great. I will continue to go back....

Wendy Awour I definitely have to give them a 5 star. Very good customer service, I got gel pedicure and regular mani. The lady was thorough and kept checking if I liked the progress as she was doing my nails. She is gentle with the filing and cuticle work. I’m satisfied and will definitely return.

Margarita Rodriguez I asked for coffin shape and got something that looked Like square shape. She asked if i liked the shape and i told her i like them more skinny, she filed the edges but it didnt make a difference.she didnt put acrylic all the way to the top on my nail. It looks like I need a fill already. The guy who did my pedicure bearly even scrubbed them..Ive been going here for years but I think its time to find a new place.

Susana Jimenez Best nail shop excellent service. Staff is super attentive and accommodating. Amy and Billy are my go to in acrylic nails and have never disappointed me.

Dana Maraach Vanessa’s Nails saved me today. I got my toes done at another place and they looked so bad, like a kindergartener did them. Mind you I am a bride to be and these were for my wedding. I came into Vanessa’s panicking and they said “don’t worry, we got you!” They put my mind at ease and the results are so beautiful, more than I hoped for. Thank you Vanessa and your lovely staff for all your help! I love my nails!

Liz D Patricia is amazing my nails always turn out fantastic. After 3 years of living here id say this is the Best Salon in all of Modesto.

Tina Ruiz This is my first time here and I went to Tammy the owner my nails originally had builder gel which actually really ruined my nails. My nails are fairly thin and Tammy did an excellent job with consultation and aftercare with Suggestions on how to improve my nail beds and overall Nail Health . She did a acrylic overlay with gel on top. I will definitely be going back to Tammy. Most nail technicians other salons will do your nails, no matter what condition but Tammy truly cares about her customers in Nail Health.

dawn Got a #3 moved to the big salon of his after the s.aller one closed. The people are just as nice though. Great service and great care. They always give good service and value. They are decorated for Christmas now.

Tarena Phompong I have called several times before going in and no one answered. It was my second appearance there.Bad service and customer service.

Ciara Clayton I have been coming here on and off since I was about 11 years old. I used to tag along with my mom for her appointments and started getting manicures along with her. As I got older, I found my own nail tech who is home based. She typically does my nails, but when she doesnt have a spot and Im desperate for a simple set, I will come to Sassys to hold me over. Thats how I ended up here this afternoon. I have never really had an issues with techs in the past, they are usually quick and do what I ask for. Firstly, the removal of my previous set was HARSH. I was in a bit of pain the whole removal. The tech went to work buffing/filing my nails. I started bleeding. The tech didnt mention it, simply continued to work over the blood. Made me feel a little gross. Especially, because Im assuming these tools are reused. I showed the tech a picture of exactly what I wanted. The tech didnt ask me what shape I wanted and did very little to no shaping at all, leaving me with chunky, wide nails. Not my style but not the end of the world. I asked for a sage green ombre. Now, every salon I have been to ever, has always asked what color for the "nude" portion of the ombre. I am extremely fair skinned so I do understand that a typical nude will turn out really dark on me. However, the tech whipped out a bright pink that I wouldnt even use for frenchies. I also asked for gems to be put in the CENTER of each nail at the bottom of the nail bed. The gems were placed cockeyed as hell. I walked out with chunky, unshaped, cockeyed nails. I had to beg my nail tech to get me in to fix this disaster. Worst part is I paid over $80 for them to trash my nails and now I have to shell out more money for someone else to fix the set so I can look at my hands for the next two weeks without feeling like an idiot for trusting what I thought was a decent salon. Im sorry, but with so many talented home techs who beat salons in pricing, availability, and technique/style, you guys have got to step it up. There is no room for mediocre in such a saturated market. I learned my lesson and will not be straying from my tech ever again. Also, pricing is inconsistent. I have had much more complex sets from this salon with a lower price than what I paid today. Side note, I seemed to be annoying the tech with my presence. Seems she didnt want me there at all. They were dead when I came in. Only one other person with an appointment the whole time I was in there. Overall, they arent consistent in their work and pricing. I wouldnt recommend coming here especially spending upwards of $100. If you do walk through their doors, please know what to expect. It isnt amazing but not the worst. Just super disappointed in my experience today.

Issabella Flores Jacked up prices. Basically it was $5 for each toe and finger and then some. I called before and they said it was $45 for a full set. They ended up charging $55 for pedicure and $50 for manicure. They didn’t cut my cuticles or even massage my hands. He said that’s separate. This place is overpriced. Kim was pretty good with my feet but other than that it’s not worth it.

Kavita Chand I get my pedicures done here all the time. If you are going to pick a shop, this is the one. I’ve tried most of the ones in Modesto. They’re super patient and do good work. My immediate family and in laws all come here.

Geneba Revuelta I encountered bad customer service by a guy who worked there I believe his name was John. It was my first time there, not only was he rude but he also lied about the charge. I asked for a set of acrylic nails which on the sign it said $25 but when he finished he said it was $38. When I confronted him about the prices he said it was because he used gel I never asked him to use gel I just picked a blue nail polish and then he also charged an extra fee to shape my nails. I’m not saying I’m mad that I paid that amount what I’m truly displeased about is the lack of communication in regards to prices. I highly suggest that not only John but other employees as well Inform the customers how much they will be charged and the reason behind that amount.

Kavita Chand I was coming here for years. One day, I asked for a white chrome for my engagement nails and they gave me a pink sparkly one instead and told me to trust the process. I told them this was not what I wanted at all, and walked out. Never again. They also are always in a rush.

April F I’ve never taken the time to leave a bad review I felt this was necessary. I walked into Luxe at 6PM on 3/8/25, It was at night so I didn’t notice until I got home at how poorly they painted my nails. They painted over dust from filing the acrylics I had on off, gel on my skin, and one of my nails wasn’t cured properly which is a HEALTH HAZARD. I included a photo where you’ll see a difference in the color of my nails. Paid $43 dollars and even tipped 20%. I’d like to highlight that uncured gel can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions… and not even making sure before curing that there isn’t gel on the skin shows such disregard for people’s health. It is one thing to paint horribly but another to allow people to walk out of the salon with uncured nails. If it wasn’t at night, I would’ve noticed. It saddens me to leave a review like this but it’s important people are aware of what you’ll be exposed to.
