Top 16 Reviews Nail and Spa Ventura, CA new update 2

Kaylie Duffield I’ve been going to Shelly for a few years now! She’s talented, flexible and always helping me reach my hair goals! She just started doing a mobile service, so I think it’d be fun to do a pedicure party with some of my girlfriends. High recommend!

Ale Jungo Been going to Shelly for quite a while and she always nails the look I’m going for. I highly recommend her for hair color and cuts!!!

Heba Monir I highly recommend!!!!!!! Shelly is the best! I can’t say enough about Shelly. My hair was thin, damaged :(( Shelly was able to completely change my hair to a beautiful long heathy hair. I can’t trust anyone else to touch my hair but Shelly. So glad i found her. She also doing a great job taking car of my weak nails by using a very healthy nail products. I love getting my nails and toes done by Shelly. She’s amazing. If you are looking for someone to take care of your hair or nails Shelly is the one!

Jeffrey Baclaski Excellent massage from Fernando! Fernando has been making quick work of a year’s worth of built up muscle issues. This is not your cookie cutter massage: He will find the trouble areas and apply all right techniques in his arsenal. For me this included scraping, active release technique, and cupping. So glad I found someone who can really help with my shoulder and hips.

Brad Faber What a beautiful spa and salon. Didnt have a chance to get any Salon treatments but Fernando is a wonderful masseuse. The salon facilities, hair and nail areas looked beautifully adorned and the massage room was just gorgeous. Very relaxing. Everything was clean, smelled wonderfully and very nice music. A relaxing experience and I will go there again and again

Anne Levinson I love this Salon. I have been going there for over 8 years. My hair always looks amazing when I leave. Freddie is a wonderful owner and experienced hair stylist. I see Holly when I go there for my hair. She does a beautiful job

Jennifer This place is in a lovely area and is so adorable and inviting from the moment you walk in! I love how they play on the "sugar" theme. Christine, the owner did my Brazilian sugaring. She made me feel so comfortable and welcome, explaining the procedure. The result was perfection!

Shannon Meyers Such a gorgeous facility and lots of fun treatments are available — my husband and Mom and I LOVE Riley’s manicures and pedicures, super luxurious and private and Kelsey’s spray tans are perfection and she even came in on her day off once to perfectly time my tan for a Hawaii trip. Theres lots more, they can handle almost all your beauty needs!

Deirdre Martin Christine is very experienced and it shows. I felt pampered and well taken care of during my entire service and I’m so glad I finally tried sugaring for the first time- I like it much more than wax and Christine is very talented at what she does. I’m so pleased with the result!

Nathaniel Atkins Great service!! If you can get Julie, request her. She really has a great skill set and had my hands looking so dam good after my manicure. Highly recommend going to this salon.

Lupe Ricardez I have been coming to the Ventura location for about 3 years for my biweekly appointments. “Lee” never disappoints. She’s fantastic along with the other staff. They are efficient, professional and great at what they do. The owner keeps her salon very clean and sanitary. I highly recommend them. You won’t be disappointed. Instead, you will leave happy with beautiful nails and feet. They also offer brow clean up.

August Hardie My girlfriend visited yesterday for nails. Ryan declined her initial request to do a special nail design. Then she asked him to do a french tip design... he didnt know what that is. The salon had pictures of french tip designs on the walls... which were pointed out to Ryan as reference. He began and was very rough with her hands, forcing them into positions and not using his words. He was aggressively filing her nails to the point where my girlfriends mother had to step in to ask if everything was alright. Then, using an electric nail file, HE CUT THE CUTICLES MAKING HER BLEED on two fingers. She became very upset but still wanted the job finished. She was extremely disappointed at the finished work: nails were glued crooked, theyre too thick, paint left on fingers, and chunky acrylic left on the under side of the nails. She feels EMBARRASSED having these nails.

Megan Mikhail Grit & Glam Beauty is my all time favorite place for my nails. The salon itself is so relaxing and welcoming. The salon staff is beyond accommodating and professional. My nails always come out gorgeous- I am constantly complimented and they last so long. I am so glad I found grit & glam, and recommend anyone in the market for a nail salon.

Mackenzie Reed how many days until my next appointment?!? I am welcomed with warmth and good energy every time I walk through the doors! Morgan has truly made this salon a place of community, her attention to detail and care for her clients is unmatched. I have been a client for about 2 years and don’t think I could go back to any other salon! I have been on a natural nail journey and was introduced to IBX treatments to strengthen and along with a hard gel fill, my nails are unstoppable!!

Stephanie Marin The best beauty lounge in Ventura County! I always get stopped for how amazing my nails look! The manicurists here are so creative and passionate about their craft, and have the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. It’s impeccably clean and the vibes are always right! I also got a spray tan and Morgan took her time to really get my color formula just right for my skin tone, can’t wait to try teeth whitening next! If you’re looking for a clean salon with kind and detail oriented staff, Grit and Glam is your new home!

EvE E. $50 for a pedicure ...lol. No thanks

jennifer parker Awesome work ethic

Jeff Baldwin Irene Vagi is an excellent mani/pedicurist. She is professional and provides exceptional service. Highly recommend her.

Traci Laird Peter does a wonderful job on acrylics and his wife Hannah gives a great pedicure.

Nancy Joan Peter always does an amazing job, My nails have grown so healthy and the gel he uses has given me strong nails that I haven’t had in many years ! Never lifts or chips, perfectionist! Highly recommend this person !!!

Jamie Aleman Rude rude lady!!! I wish I could give this place a zero! I was choosing between two white colors and the lady had no patients AT ALL she showed me the colors and wanted me to choose RIGHT AWAY! She started slamming the nail color on the table saying “WHAT DO U WANT” “and I told her I want a soft white but she told me she liked a bright off white better and she kept getting mad because I wouldn’t choose her color she yanked my hand and really made it seem like I was an inconvenience and unwanted by the way this is in the span of 5mins by the way. DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL PLACE . The gentleman was really nice

Amber Lynn I should have read the reviews before going here, just the worst pedicure Ive ever had, it was genuinely stressful. I had to ask for a wet towel and left as fast as I could because the lady mixed in sugar or something with the lotion and left my legs and feet sticky everywhere! I need to take an additional shower when I get home because I couldnt get all of it off. No bottom coat to the polish, and left polish all around my nails on my skin. Almost no massage, but honestly halfway through I just was so put off I almost walked out in the middle anyway. Also, they are priced higher than my usual place by $4 and only take cash, no card like all the other places Ive been to in Ventura. Just terrible.

Gaby F I was extremely disappointed with this nail shop. I arrived at 6:25 PM and asked for a regular manicure, but they declined to serve me. The gentleman, who was already cleaning up, mentioned that they close at 7:00 PM, yet there were still 40 minutes left until closing. Both the website and the sign clearly state that they close at 7:00 PM, so why refuse service? If you stop taking customers earlier, you should update your closing time to reflect that. This is terrible customer service. I won’t be giving them my business again or recommending them to anyone. Bad work ethic! If I could I would leave no star however the system doesn’t allow me too. Do not go here.

Heather Reed They do not take credit cards and they have nothing posted to let you know prior to service. Who doesn’t take credit cards in 2025?

Kayla Hernandez Went here before Valentine’s day and it was an amazing experience! Reasonable prices and I love my results:) I’m grateful I had a nail tech who took her time with each step!! Definitely recommend the VIP pedi

Lilly Flores Came in here with two sisters and one friend (who was just tagging along) me and my sisters showed our nail tech our designs and gave all of us an estimate of $55 each. My dad showed up later to check on us, but later once he left, they tried to charge $70 more. Once we confronted them, they had no defence and claimed to had “accidentally” charged my friend, who got nothing done there, for a full set. After they realized she wasn’t being charged, they only took off $30… which doesn’t even cover a full set…Cannot deny that they have great nail techs and do good work, but would definitely not trust them. CALCULATE YOUR PRICE BEFORE PAYING. ASK FOR SPECIFICS AND WHY THEY CHARGED EXTRA (if they did).

Meagan They were in rush to get off work.It was right about closing time and my nails suffered. My full set acrylics came with bumbs and grooves thru out them. The middle finger has a chunk missing right at the tip

Rebecca Allen Morgan is the best manicurist! She rescued my nails from an atrocious acrylic job and I have been a loyal customer since. She is always so precise and personable, I don’t trust anybody else to take care of my nails. Morgan has online booking and offers IBX treatment that has strengthened and protected my nails. Personalized experience every time! Not to mention her zero gravity massage pedicure chair. Love scrolling through her Instagram and looking at the designs she does too!

Veronica Pena Im not sure of the quality of work of this place. I will add that when attempting to make an appointment, I made two attempts at calling. Both calls were answered and quickly hung up on. So, if you dislike poor customer service, this might not be the place for you.

Sansheart17 Nava Vicky is amazing! Ive been going to her for twenty years. I followed her from Oxnard to Oasis. Even when Ive had one of the other nail techs do my nails when Vicky is off, they are great and very professional. I always feel like Im getting the Royal treatment.

Carrie Fisher I have been coming here for years and Anne is very sweet, but lately she has been overbooking more and more. This is my last time. I took my mom and wanted to get a mani pedi for her and a pedi for me. We called at the beginning of the day and made an appointment for when they had time. Came back that afternoon at the time and they had two people working on two people and three people waiting to get pedicures. Two had just sat down and they had appointments for the same time as us. We saw all this and said we could come back if they were overbooked. They assured us it would only be 5 minutes. I am still sitting here, mom is getting her manicure but I havent been touched and its been 50 minutes. I am going now and wont come back. Leaving without pedicure and wasted nearly an hour

Elissa Salvo I got a gel manicure by Lee Lee and she did an excellent job! She was very particular and made sure my cuticles were perfect. She worked quickly but effectively when I was in a bit of a hurry. And she didn’t use a spinning tool buffer on my nails but buffed them by hand which I appreciated because those make my nails super thin. It was an overall great experience and good prices!

Vee Jewels It seemed like she was in a big hurry to do my nails. Every nail came out bad! I know they are gonna say your nail or finger is malformed! My a** my fingers and nails are fine, the nail shape is malformed! Didnt like it. Other customers take priority, I get it they go often but where does your reputation fall? Nice people BUT BAD NAILS!

Melissa Zavas Only one person working and by appointment only. I was referred to go to their other location when they have a dozen stations. The consistency of walk-in availability is lacking and I’ve had mixed feelings about the services I’ve received in the past. The location is great so I hope they figure out what they are doing.

Tiffany Rivera I was just there and spent a fortune on my hands and toes. Helen did the laziest job on my feet I have ever had. This place use to do quality work. This lady didn’t do anything but soak my feet in the chair and throw gel on my toes. Didn’t file didn’t do the scrub of the foot or callas and no lotion. She put on all thick no cuticle removal. I’m so upset. The man did my nails a funky shape didn’t wait to see what I wanted and had to macgiver it. He put the nail tips so high I can’t get a fill. I’m so upset at the lousy job they did .

Sierra Everyone is extremely nice and talented! Jenny is amazing ay acrylics and the pedicures are very relaxing and nice. I also get my eyebrows and lip waxed there and they always do a great job.
