Glow nails and spa - Santa Barbara (CA)

5 /5 Megan Pawlak: Ive tried a few different spots in town and this is my best experience to date. Sang did a wonderful job with my nails. She was ultra precise, took her time, and made sure I was happy every step of the way. However, what made this a 5 star experience were the little things. Sang remembered my name and used it often to talk to me. She convinced me to go outside my comfort zone with a little gold foil. (Which I now love). She asked me about my activities to give me nails that will last. The team is small but they were all working together to give everyone a good experience. She sanitized her hands often and everything felt very clean. Even though she was also managing the front, I never felt like an afterthought. Im fairly new to getting my nails done, and as noted above Ive been to many places considered "the best" in town and have not yet felt this level of care. Sang and Glow Nails have a new regular with me. Theyre off the beaten path but worth it. Give them a try.

5 /5 Emily McCarthy: This is by FAR the best nail salon in Santa Barbara! I felt like I had tried them all, but after I met Sang and experienced Glow Nails for the first time, I never want to go anywhere else. This has been my go-to place for at least 3 years now, and all my friends know just how much I love Sang & the Glow Nails team. My nails stay healthy and Im constantly getting compliments on them. There was one time where my nails chipped two days after my mani, and they accommodated me right away and got it fixed. The Glow Nails team really takes pride in their work and cares about their customers. I usually do dip, and it lasts a good 3-4 weeks. My pedicures last even longer! 10/10 love love love Glow Nails

5 /5 Valerie Francis: Gel X! Amazing nails. Quality work, took her time. She freestyles this. I got gel pedicure too. Great ambience, cute photo shoot spots! Patient, clean and neat

1 /5 LD: New to the area and first time customer here. Terrible gel manicure experience. The guy seemed like he didn’t want to be there. Didn’t bother fully cleaning off my nails after buffing and filing but still applied the polish. He also didn’t even bother cleaning up the edges either. I was so annoyed and upset that I just paid and left because I didn’t want to be there any longer. Just sloppy work and will never return. Should have gone to another salon I tried out before this one but wanted to try here because of the great reviews. Sadly it didn’t live up to the positive reviews and I wasted my money.
