TLC Nail Lounge - Santa Barbara (CA)

Suzanne LHeureux I had such a sweet experience here the other night. They did a great job on my nails and toes and gave a really excellent foot massage. Everyone working there is very nice and it’s in a great location in downtown Santa Barbara, where you can go out and get a drink or dinner after.

Mai Thao A while back my boyfriend surprised me for my birthday. Upon entering the salon, it was warm and inviting. The staff greeted us right away and I was seated within a couple of minutes. Miraya did my manicure and I have to say it was one of the best I’ve ever received. Not only did she do a beautiful job, she was super friendly and we chatted the entire session. I will definitely return!

Elisabeth Haby I would highly recommend this salon. Phuong was attentive, patient and asked plenty of questions to make sure I was happy with my nails. I had to remove my dipping powder and he made sure to do so gently and with soaking instead of filing them down to risk any damage. Sue was also fantastic with the design I wanted even though it was intricate. She took her time and I was very happy with the result. In the hour or so that I was there, a handful of regular customers came in and were each greeted by name. After coming here I can absolutely understand their loyal customer base. This is a fantastic salon and I would absolutely come back.

K ME Super nice salon with some real talented technicians. Will definitely be going back!

rachel faulkner I had a great experience at this salon. Im in a wheelchair, and many salons are pretty inaccessible, but the set up inside was great. The walkways were all large enough to fit through, and the restroom had grab bars and an accessible set up. My nails looks great too!

Mariel Allcock Andrea is awesome! Very nice and easy to tell what you want. I LOVE the cut she gave me. I have naturally curly hair and am very picky, she cut and styled my hair beautifully! Love love love!

Megan Krul Papillon is the best nail salon Ive been to! Gypsy is AMAZING, she takes great care into making sure her clients nails are healthy and to their liking. She always makes sure to make my nails as perfect as she can. No one has ever done my nails better! I never leave feeling disappointed. My mom gets her nails done by Jimmy, and says the same of him as well. Theres no TV in the studio, which is very relaxing as they play a great mix of music instead. They only take appointments, so when you arrive you wont have to wait around or feel like theyre rushing. With that being said, I highly recommend making sure youre not late for your appointment because if you are, it puts them behind for everyone else and thats not good for anybody. I used to go to Ocean Nails and would always get dip, but they would break within a week and a half. At Papillon, my dip nails last nearly 3 1/2 weeks! In the photo: I asked Gypsy for baby pink tips, and that I needed help picking a base. She, as always, came to the rescue and helped me pick the perfect combo!

Becki The owners were friendly and took me right away as a walk-in. It soon got busy, so an appointment is probably recommended. I just got lucky. This was the fastest pedicure I’ve ever had, yet no corners were cut and I’m happy with the results! Chairs were newer and comfortable and it was clean and tidy. Price was reasonable as compared to other local nail salons. I’d go back!

Erica mollo Overall, clean and good service... as years pass, the length of time spent on pedicures and manicures has decreased, which takes away from the spa like treatment. Overall, I am satisfied with nail work. Still recommend!
