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

Tanya W I always have a great experience with Diana! Her work is super clean, and I’m always satisfied when I go in for a manicure. My nails feel stronger and they last long without chipping. Shes gentle and makes sure youre comfortable. The care and detail Diana puts in her services shows through her work. I definitely recommend!

Katrena Banyamin Diana is the only person I trust to do my nails. She is a perfectionist and will make sure you leave looking your very best. She had an eye for color and goes above and beyond to get you the look you’re going for. I appreciate her attention to detail and her tips and tricks that she’s collected with her many years of experience. 10/10 would recommend!

Nataly Barcham For the past few months I have been going to Diana for GelX nails and gel pedicures- she has given me the best experience. Beyond doing an amazing job on my nails and toes- she is very thorough, clean and detailed. My real nails have never looked and felt so good. She is very attentive and gives me a good set amount of time. I never feel rushed or ignored. The picture with this review is my 4 week retention.

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.

JAIME DORANTES I do not recommend it. She left me waiting for 40 minutes... I was supposed to have an appointment at 3pm and around 3:20 another person arrived and they put her through before me. That bothered me. Even so, I waited 20 more minutes but nothing happened so I left that place.

Alicia Venturini My girl was awesome. I felt bad she had to deal with my toes that havent been touched 3 months after having my baby. She made me a new woman. . Going to have the best day ever!!!❤️ Thank you sassy nails!!

Sierra Tobin Tina is always so professional and courteous, she did a great job on both my mani and pedi. I went in and got a gel manicure on October 20th and other than the grow out my nails still look great. The pedicure was amazing-hot rocks and wax! I will continue to go here.

Omar Murcia Friendly staff, clean location, very professional nail salon. Numerous colors to choose from, very reasonable prices, walk-in are welcome but an appointment is a must if you want quicker service.

Maria M I had a negative experience at Tinas nail shop.Tina the owner has a tendency to be unprofessional and bossy. She is argumentative and wants to do your nails her way. The shop and equipment lacks cleanliness.

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.

sarah pickens Never think because you have been going here for YEARS they will not try to scam you. I paid $125 for two pedicures. I had also requested my brows be done but even tho an appointment was made prior they rushed us out there and gave the most pathetic pedicure I’ve ever seen. Then when it came to my brows they took me in laid me down started to trim and said oops the wax machine is broken when it fact it was not. Like I said they were rushing us. She asked I come back the following day. Because she had started the process and I knew I was coming back the next day I paid $150 and went back the next day as discussed. 2 pedicures is $70 btw and a ridiculous $15 extra for gel on my toes. When I went back, I asked her “I’m already paid for the eyebrows correct” and she said “yes my friend I wasn’t sure you were coming back”. As I was leaving, she starts saying. “You never paid me”. I explained to her that I did in fact, pay her the day before because I did not pay $150 for two terrible pedicures and sure as heck was not tipping anyone that much for being rushed out” She’s also lucky I did not press charges against her because she did put her hands on me and pushed me out of the door when I was telling her I would no longer be coming back. I was not yelling I was not being obnoxious. In fact, I will be making a police report. Don’t worry. I’ll keep you guys update.

lillyanna DONT GO HERE. I didn’t get the shape i wanted, made the nails too thick, sliced me and my moms hands, bugs everywhere. Just don’t come here. At all.

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.

Tammi Bertsch David did my gel manicure and it was nice. He was very friendly and thorough. Rose did my gel pedicure and it wasn’t very good. She was friendly but her quality of work was subpar. She took off my old gel with the dremel and it was scary. I felt like she was going to grind too much of my nail off. She didn’t really do much of the actual pedicure, just basically painted my toenails and put some oil/lotion on my legs. The massage was super brief and no pressure. I won’t be going back to Rose for a pedicure.

Jennifer Mojica Staff was really nice, especially the nail tech who helped me, Wena (if Im not mistaken) she stayed after hours to finish up my set, since my original idea did not look good. She was so patient and awesome!! Definitely will be back.

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

Williams Tom “EagleRider” Tina is the best. It took me 69 years. To decide to get an actual pedicure to pamper myself, for my birthday. I entered as a walk in, I was greeted by a very hospitable friendly staff. They made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Tina was the nicest most professional person to do my pedicure. Tina made it the best experience Ive had in quite awhile. Talk about magic hands during the orange scrub massage from knee to between the toes. By the time she was done, I already was looking forward to my next pedicure and was asking myself why I didnt do this sooner. Its the best my feet ever felt I was wiggling my toes all the way home. I highly recommend Tina and this establishment you wont be disappointed.

Anne Hendricks Tina and Helen do a great job. I love their pedicures. The shop is very friendly and helpful. I would not go anywhere else.

Adriana Ruiz Beautiful new nail salon! The guy (Ten or Ted?) did a great job on my nails! Was patient, kind and good attention to detail :)

SYDNEY CARROLL Really like this spot. Been here twice and have had great experiences. It is clean, very cute and smells great inside. I really like their pedicures so far they have done a fantastic job, staff is friendly

Alexandra Rubio Ive been getting my nails done by Jennifer for almost 10 years, and Im so excited to see her at this new salon! Jennifer is an absolute artist and always pays close attention to detail. Whether its a simple manicure or a more intricate design, she always nails it (pun intended)! The new salon is a lovely spot--super clean, relaxing, and with a great vibe. If youre looking for someone whos passionate about their craft and delivers flawless results every time, I cant recommend Jennifer enough. Youll walk out feeling pampered and fabulous!

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.

A K Thank u so much My His the best His nails usually stays on for almost 1.5 months His work is always on point Thank u

Vernette Derdall Best manicure and pedicure Ive ever had. They did an amazing job and were very very friendly!

Albert Ledesma My Mom has been going there many years. She always does a great job.

Lucrecia Larry I thought she was a cool lady usually get a full face wax and she always charged me 30$ well this time she up charged me to 55$ AFTER the service was done and burned the side of my face extremely bad when I called and let her no she didn’t try to compensate me in any way not even an apology told me to get a cold rag and rub Vaseline on my face , she lost a good loyal customer that day !! I will not be returning

Tracy stevens Made me feel very comfortable and paid attention to detail. Very friendly. Did a wonderful job. Will definitely be back .

Mrs. Westbrooks Genuinely mortified and disappointed by the work that was done here. I have never been to this place before and it is very safe to say that I will NEVER go back. Le me start by saying that as a walk-in, I appreciated their ability to seat me within 15 minutes but that was the only thing good they had going for themselves and I should have known better by how uncomfortable I felt, but after looking at the stars and seeing a 4.2 rating, I assumed they would be ok. I told the nail tech I wanted black coffin nails and even showed her a photo to confirm coffin and from the moment she started there were mistake after mistakes made but because I am not a Nail Tech or Expert I let her continue as I watched a movie on my phone. Big mistake and I blame myself because even with me seeing the mistakes, even with her fingers sticking to mine because of the amount of glue she utilized, and me addressing her on 2 different occasions I still went through with it because I was desperate. There are not enough words to describe how tacky, distasteful, and disgusting my nails were done. I could have stayed home and saved the $51 I reluctantly paid. The tech had no remorse for how she left my nails nor did she offer to redo, remove, or discount. She was so confident in her work it is sickening. She does NOT deserve a station at any nail salon Please stay away from this location.

Zhasha Romero Do any salons around here actually do real manicures anymore? This is the 3rd place I’ve been to in town when asking for a manicure and gel set that they’ve completely neglected giving me an actual manicure. They didn’t soak my nails before trimming , they never touched my cuticles, and no hand massage. I’m from Fresno and any place I’ve been to there, those are standard for a manicure. When I wanted a new set I was pressed for a fill, I had to be firm with my choice. After they drilled down the layer of gel, they ripped of my nail by sliding another nail underneath. It hurt! I pulled my hand away and asked what she was doing and that she ripped off half my nail and her response was you wanted a new set right. I asked about soaking off but she did not want to do that because it takes at least 1 hour. She said she can fill or do this. I should have left. But I stayed and proceeded to let her rip every nail off. It was so painful. I started sweating from the pain and my finger tips were throbbing with pain for a few hours after and tender the rest of the day. Why did I stay? Because last time I was here they did such a great job on my nails.. This time not so much, but these were different techs touching my nails. This time my nails were not natural looking, slightly bulky. There is the old green polish from my last set still on the edges of my nails. And some of the gel has bubbles. Two techs touched my nails. One put the new set on, the other reshaped the set and painted. I wanted ombré, but she didn’t think it would look good with short nails, then I showered her a pic with nail art to see if she could do it, she said she can’t do art. So I settled for solid colors. I do love the colors I picked though. I would have given 1 star but like I said last time my nails came out so great. The man up front did my set last time, a fill, and then a lady painted them and did cute daisies (I was told she was off on maternity leave this time).

Erika Roque I love my experience there! I always enjoy my pedicure. The girl who does it for me is amazing... I wasnt able to get her name, but the last 3 times Ive been there, its always her, and I love it. She takes her time and doesnt rush my pedicure. My nail lady is also amazing. Does beautiful work. I am very simple when it comes to my nails, nothing fancy but love her work. Will also update her name. She has done my nails the last 2 times, but the lady from my first time is also good.

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....

Bertha Monarrez I asked for french tip full set and she ended up painting the tips white with dark pink base it looked weird she didnt even ask me if thats what I wanted she just did it. They looked childish and she didnt even do my cuticles... 20 minutes for $50 bucks I should have went with the reviews take your money somewhere else

Betsy T I got dip nails for the first time. They used a communal dip cup. About 15 minutes after I left, I chipped one and went back and fixed. 24 hours later the next one chipped. They are supposed to last 2-3 weeks and did not last more than 24 hours. Would not recommend.

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.

Patricia Paxson Always have a great experience. VERY clean well maintained and everyone is very friendly, I highly recommend. Michelle is my girl, but I know they all do great work. Very reasonably priced. My new favorite place.

Mystica Aguilar Horrible experience, the women literally took a face time call while working on my toes with the camera right next to them. I was baffled…After the service I did not want to tip, it was horrible service & the design was completely off. Yet when paying after pressing no tip (I seen she charged me for gel I didn’t get) she continued to ask if the cash in my wallet was her tip. Being the Good Samaritan, giving to those who seem in need. I gave her the $12 tip. Overral I highly do not recommend.

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.

Maria Villasenor They will not do any sort of pattern or art not even a star ,they simply dont try and shut down anything a customer asks for . Had to ask 2 x for my daughters pedi water to be turned on she was getting a full pedi so why wouldnt they? Ok for solid colors on a day you are needing a fast service thats it . Would not recommend if you can go elsewhere do it.

Nicole Horrible customer service !!! Nothing but negative vibes once you walk in there I should’ve read the reviews before getting my nails done … I went 3 days ago and my nail polish was coming off so I went back to get them fixed and and all the workers where just looking at me like I did something to them and of course I got them fixed and the lady Vicky who did my nails looked mad I’m like I’m sorry you did something wrong so Vicky and her coworkers where talking there langue about me I know because she kept looking at my nails … Never again !!! Don’t get your nails done here

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.

Kendra Clark Honestly worst manicure of my life. All I wanted was a change of gel polish on my nails. I immediately noticed as they were taking off my prior gel polish that they were scraping my natural nails causing them to lose a ton of strength and asked her to stop, as my normal tech never does this. This made her angry, and she refused to change what she was doing. Then, she proceeded to give me the most rushed and bizarre manicure. She would paint like 3 nails and let them cure, then paint them all, and then cure again. The result is extremely uneven coverage. There was dried gel all over my cuticles when she was done and the shape was so terrible I ended up spending 30 min when I got home just trying to make my nails look presentable. I’m really disappointed. Getting my nails done is my me time that I splurge for since I recently went through a difficult divorce, and instead of leaving relaxed and happy, i left frustrated and upset. I asked for my money back and was told no. I left in tears.

Karina_ Beas Not satisfied with the service and took way too long, I ended up coming here because I was in the area and I usually go elsewhere but no polish didn’t last on the pedicure and I ended up getting an infection. my doctor put me on antibiotics because of this.

Destiny Jordan The staff are all very nice and talented, and the establishment is very clean. CJ did a great job on my birthday nails, and they were exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend this place to others. : )

Millie Marin Namowicz Just found this place today. I called if they accepted walk ins and they were so friendly! Very clean and welcoming atmosphere and my nails came out so good! Ivy did such a great job!

Ash Van Housen Great service and experience. I live in San Francisco. My mom is a client and made my appointment for a acrylic fill with gel polish while I was visiting her. I wish Magic Nails was closer so I could get my nails done here always. They did a amazing job and my nails have looked good going on 3 weeks. Ill be back next Mom visit! Thank you!

Amy Koontz I absolutely love Heidi and how gentle she is with me plus she’s friendly and I just feel comfortable there! Well worth the price I pay for my nails and the every 3week fill!

Patricia Clayton Carolyn did a great job on my fill. And I wanna go back to get a pedicure. She does a great job, pleased ☺️

Sammy Granado Heidi did an amazing job matching what I showed her! She made sure that I got the length right and coats. She was thorough and friendly! I will be back for sure. ☺️
