Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Bakersfield, CA (Part 2)

Jennifer Dooley-Padilla I was hesitant trying a new nail salon after a previous bad experience. I was also nervous because I chew my nails and worried about judgment. Coco was nice and made me feel normal. She has a wonderful attention to detail and checks in at each step to make sure I liked my nails! She was very gentle! Getting acrylics can hurt, but she did her best to make me comfortable. She even worked with me to cover up my natural nail beds when I wanted French tips! I will definitely come back and recommend her to friends.

Alexis Rojas Super happy with Coco. She did an amazing job on my nails. She took her time and was very compassionate. She did a nice detail work on the drawings. I definitely recommend this place!

Julie Aranda Reading the reviews for Cocos Nails I thought I would give it a try. Diamond was the mail artist who did my fill with art and boy did that girlie sparkle with talent and service! Diamond was so gentle and sweet with my nails. Every idea with shape or design she would ask if I liked it or if it was to my liking. I felt like a princess getting my nails done by her. Everywhere I go I get complimented for them. It was so nice to chat with both Coco and Diamond and the other ladies in the salon. Everyone was so funny and sincere. Looking forward to my next appointment

Sydshot ‼️DON’T COME HERE FOR GOOD NAILS ‼️This is the worst nail experience I’ve ever had. First of all my nails were lifted with in a week, three nails fell off the first day, one hand was shorter than the other, and it’s not ok my nails were lifted like they were pointing to the moon. my nails don’t do that but some how they made that happen. The only person I respect there is the sweet black girl and the hilarious and sweet Mexican man(sorry I don’t know your names) #loveyouboth but everyone else no. I Fr had prom the next day, and two nails fell off. as I was leaving the salon I wanted to cry they were so ugly.

Joey R I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed with Kim for the past 10 years, and she always does an amazing job and is so accommodating! Thank you Kim! Highly recommend her!

Jazmin Great service and amazing results! Kim had great attention to detail, she focused on my nails and made sure everything was perfect. I honestly love how my nails look, and she has so many colors to choose from. I would absolutely recommend. I know the other comments can make you feel skeptical, but I say go and be your own judge.

Lorena Gonzalez I went here about two weeks ago, for some chrome Frenc. I asked the guy if he can do them he said yes. It took him almost two hrs just to do some simple French tips & they looked messy. He cut my finger twice to the point were it was bleeding. He did not even know how to do chrome nails at all, they looked so messy, and the shape was off.

Irma Gutierrez I have been going to Classy Nails for years now. They are very hospitable and the facility is very clean. They are always upgrading which makes me feel they really care for their business and clients. They are very professional and very friendly.

tina gonzales I been going to this nail salon for almost 18 years. There is no one better for me. Kathy always goes all the way to get the job done. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable there.

Coleen Peterson I’ve been going here for a very long time. Everyone knows their craft well and they are professional and friendly! Also 5 stars for Mary she doesn’t great work!

Pauline Steward Finally found a place that I feel my nails were taken care of well. The things that were done for my nails made sense. My nails are even and dont have unfiled edges. The nail technician was really nice and paid attention to me. I will definitely come back.

Crystal Valdez I’ve been going here for about 2 years, this place is always clean and the staff are always very nice. The lash tech is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Would definitely recommended.

Kelly Palmer My husband and I really enjoy our pedicure service every time.The nail techs are so good at helping us both with foot problems with senior feet and nails.The whole crew seems to really bond with their clients and relate to us on a personal level, not intrusive but friendly and real.

Nicole Hersom I was pleased with their services. They understood what I was requesting and did a very good job to help trim and clean up my toes and nails that were super dry from the recent weather. My friend who came with me has special needs and they were very kind and patient with her. She wanted a design they said they couldn’t do but then suggested a flower design. They charged her for the flowers per nail! She and I were both disappointed with how they turned out; like dots an elementary student could paint. Had she known she probably would have not done the design but she still thinks they’re fine. I also had my eyebrows waxed ($8) and am well pleased. I’d probably go there again.

LaKeisha Nice lady, but very unsanitary. Lots of cross contamination going on here. I went for a wax.After my services started, I noticed the operator was not wearing gloves. I also noticed she had both dirty and cleans supplies in the same chair that she was using as a table and double dipping in the wax pot with the same stick to apply the wax to my skin. She put all of cloths on my clothing, which she put back on the shelf after for later use. I was disgusted, felt so unclean and violated. Keep in mind operator had a client waiting for an eyebrow wax after my service was completed. The very same wax used on my body was cross contaminated to another clients face. It made me wonder what germs I was exposed to.

Zahara Guzman Love the place they’re always so kind and welcoming , good price, and they do your nails right.

Silvia Torres I love coming to this place. Loan is talented she does different designs for any occasion and or holiday. I love her designs. Her designs are always pretty, cute, sexy, cool. The people there are always nice. They receive you with a smile. I been getting my nails and pedicure done by Loan for years, now.

Marcel I advise you to never go to this place because they ruined my nails the stuff that they use on my nails gave me fungus 12 days ago i went to get Acrylic nails after 10 days i saw something black on my real nails after 2 days my nail started to bruise i went back to get the nails removed i found fungus on my nail as you can see in the pictures they still charged me for removing even tho it was their fault I’m going to report them also the nail tech ladies are super rude in general

Danielle Teeters Tiffany made me feel special getting my nails done for the first time in my life. Got them done for a birthday gift. Was recommended this salon specifically. 10/10 would recommend.

jaqs clark Organic Nails and Spas is a great place to get a quick pedicure! The service is efficient, and the staff is friendly, making it a perfect spot when you need to treat yourself without spending hours. The atmosphere is relaxing, and I always leave feeling refreshed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality, quick pedicure experience!

Monica Garcia Great place to go in town. Very friendly, clean quick and great job! I have never had dip powder and they recommended it to me. It came out to pretty. I wish I had gotten the names of the manicurist and pedicurist but they all seemed friendly. Would highly recommend checking them out.

Brandi Haro Wonderful nails! I went Sunday morning and it was a nice and calm atmosphere. Michael did an excellent job on my nails. They look spectacular! I was nicked a bit on my cuticles but nothing severe. He was thorough with his work. I am in love with my nails!

Lou J2020 J I was very surprised at how good of job the man did on my nails ! The lady did good on my toes too! The customer service it amazing. The people who work there are very kind too !

Cheyanne Pankey Went in today for a fill , and I was so disappointed. They look horrible. Cost $42 without design then another $15.00 bc I wanted the tip painted. They look awful, I left wanting to cry. Michael usually does a great job, but this time idk if he was just busy, or in a bad mood but it looks so bad!! I felt like I wasn’t listened to at all. I left with paint all over and uneven lines. Also, used my points and that seemed to really upset them as well.

V M Ive been going to Tiffany for over 6 years. She is genuine, kind and cares about the customer experience. Even if she is busy, she tries to make any request work. She takes time to learn her customers preferences and makes effort to be accommodating to walk-ins. I will always highly recommend her. Thanks Tiff!!

merriah mitchell Me and my girlfriends got are nails done and they was on point period poo, I would go again!

Alicia Martinez I have been going to Elite Nails for a year now. I absolutely love it there. Tiffany is amazing and always friendly. I have since then sent 3 people to her who still continue to get their nails done there. Very happy with the customer service every time.

Lomas Jessica My daughter and I visited this salon while we were in town. We needed a last minute appointment before a wedding this weekend. They were very accommodating and understanding. My daughter is 4 and can be a handful. Judy was SO patient with her - chatting with her and keeping her engaged so she didnt wiggle around. I am so grateful for the experience! Tiffany was in charge of my pedicure and it was a delight. Wasnt too rough or too soft, it was great! Nick did my acrylics. I explained I hadnt done them in awhile and showed him a picture of what Id like. He was great and my nails turned out just like I wanted! Kim did my lashes and eyebrows. I havent had lashes in a really long time and was nervous. Kim helped me decide what look I wanted and went to work. The result is amazing! I feel great and look great too. I cannot thank Diamond Nails & Lashes for the great experience and the next time were in town, we will definitely be back!

Dariyen Carraway "I always have a great, relaxing experience at Diamond Nails and Lashes! The staff is super friendly, and I always get exactly what I ask for. My nails came out super cute, and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality nails and a welcoming atmosphere!"

Tara Gallagher Had the best experience here today. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a man who looked me in the eye and said, "Hello!" with a smile. Great customer service from the start, which is largely lost today, sadly. He assisted me with picking a color and guided me to my seat. I waited maybe 5 minutes before a tech was available. The restroom was clean. Id recommend adding a hook somewhere in the bathroom so the ladies can hang their purses. Nick was my tech and he was amazing. He was polite, gentle, friendly, and allowed me to relax. I will be asking for him again next time. I showed him a picture and he did exactly what I asked for. Photos attached. I look forward to coming back! My fill was $65 which included a $3 credit card processing fee, a $10 tip and the added charge for nail art.

jocelynn molina 5 stars Linh is truly the best! He’s incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and always makes the experience relaxing and enjoyable. I’ve never had a single complaint—he’s consistent, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. I always leave feeling happy with my nails and the time spent in his chair. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier nail tech!

Angie Boyler I keep coming back to this nail salon because I always get great service and lovely nails. I love both the manis and pedis here and they have a lot of current style options like chrome finish or the magnetic look. It’s clean and I’m happy with their sanitary procedures. I definitely recommend this place!

Crystal Mattila Everyone has been so kind and provided amazing work. Absolutely amazing! Lihn for nails and Van for pedicures!!!

Lacey Chew HELLO ! I. Met Ashley for a full set of acrylics ( French nails ) she removed my thick ugly set and redid my full set. Without any torture ! - I had a 5 star experience . I’m going back for a pedicure ! -The price was amazing and the salon was clean and refreshing iced coffee while I was pampered ! I’m pushing for a spray tan service to come aboard !! It’s the perfect spot for that ! Thankful I found this location. !

Trista Lynn 5 star pedicures! Ashley does an amazing job. She really takes her time especially on the foot massages! Not to mention the beautiful salon. It’s gorgeous inside

Marica Garcia Ashley does an absolutely good job on nails. I absolutely recommend people to her.Her Prices are very reasonable and the environment inside the salon is Very peaceful and relaxing.

jeremy Ogilvie Before thanksgiving I called and asked if they could do thanksgiving art on a 4 year old and they said yes. When my daughter and I got there they said her nails are too small for art but they can do stickers. They showed her about 10 colors to choose from and pointed at one asking “you want this one?” Over and over. Isn’t choosing the color a part of the fun and experience of going to a nail salon? Then they insisted on gel because it would “be better for the stickers”. I don’t know the differences. Then they only had Christmas stickers, and again did not let her choose the stickers she wanted. They painted her fingers and toes without cleaning or trimming them. I’ve taken her to one other salon and they cleaned and trimmed her nails before painting them. They charged me nearly $40 (before tip, which I did not give) for terrible service, experience and work. My daughter was happy, she’s 4 and went to the nail salon, of course she’s gonna be happy and that’s all that mattered to me. But before the day was over, the polish on almost all of her fingers had peeled off due to it being gel. And she wasn’t so happy anymore. After this not joyful expensive experience we will not be returning customers.

Maggie Ortega Way over priced for a regular pedicure. Massage and overall experience marginal for an over enflated price.

Adri Ayala DIPPED NAILS: Dont get me wrong I really like the way my nails truned out.... BUT the way they were done was not sanitary. The powder used for the dipping was not put in a separate container, never asked me to wash hands so they were dipping my fingers in the same powder that everyone else they do dipped nails for. After tip my nails cost $50 and I get it, its better then gel or acrylic on your nails but I know of other places that dont charge that much for dipped nails...

camila ferrer I have been going to Morena nails for a few years. I am glad I found her she has been nothing but great to me. She always makes the experience pleasant and professional. She is amazing at her craft always hitting it out of the park on my overly nail designs. I always get complimented on my nails where every I go thanks to her. My nails last forever with my busy schedule I can’t always make it in every 3 weeks but I sometimes go 6 weeks with out a problem… her products and her technique I’m sure have something to do with that. She recently started doing pedicures and let me tell you relaxing and amazing . She is 10/10 try her out and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Priscilla Valadez Andrea was wonderful. These pics dont do justice for how cute our nails came out. Definitely recommend!

Venesha Cruz I’ve been getting my nails done with Andrea for 9 years now! Couldn’t see myself going any where else. Her availability, the quality of her work, and her prices are all well worth it. She never disappoints!

Dena Drage So disappointed I’ve been going here over a year now and I’m the past month they have been horrible. I went there on the 18th at 9 without an appointment they weren’t on time and had other ppl ahead with appointments and only one employee… today I made sure to make an appointment since I need to have someone watch my 3month old… I was running 15 mins late so I called and told them also asked if it was ok and she said yes…. JUST to tell me when I got there to have a seat and I asked how long because I have someone with my baby…. She said come back at 12…I will not be coming here again and will not be recommending it.

Lea Pedis are the best here for sure! I do get my acrylics done by Tu, hes awesome and very creative. I bring my idea and he makes it happen. Place is clean and staff is very friendly. Its always exciting to go back for a fresh set.

Day Dreaming Took my daughter to get her nails done the gel nails to be exact and within two days they were completely washed off. I think they are watering down there products and it sucks because I loved coming here but I will not come again it’s like throwing money out the window

Darlesia Smith This is my 4th time coming here & I love it. I’ve been to all 3 of the people and they all have done an excellent job! I even bring my daughter and she loves the service also

Joselyne Vasquez Very clean place & service was fast but very effectient! They make sure to take care of you & leave you with amazing work!

Enrique Tovar Best place ever to do your pedicure! Everyone that work there are nice and friendly and treat you with a gorgeous gesture as make you want to come back. The owner did my pedicure more than once and he did lile noone else did in the past, he removed all of my dead skin called callus that I had acumulated for so many months and only for a reasonable price. Check out their new updated place with such beautiful designs and super comfortable massage chairs. Thanks so much for business you deserve not 5 stars but more than 100 each visit.
