List Best 18 Nail Salons in Chico, CA (Part 2)

Lauren Orozco Came here for the first time today for a gel pedicure and gel manicure. Prices are a big higher than I’m used to but honestly worth it. The experience was great! Not rushed at all, they really paid attention to detail and gave me an amazing massage for both services. My new go-to place for sure! Very friendly. Thank you Instant Nails!

Jamie Holwerda This is really a sweet little nail shop that does excellent work. Im new to Chico, and have been twice, but wont return due to the add-on fees that make pretty basic services outrageously expensive. My most recent trip was for a gel mani. Their pricing works like this: $5 gel removal fee (for the gel polish they put on me at my last appt) + $35 manicure + $15 up-charge for new gel. Im sorry, but $55 is insane for a gel mani. I got $35 gel manis every two weeks when I lived in Sacramento (at a very nice shop in Fair Oaks). $55 is acrylic fill territory! This is a nice shop, with nice people, that does nice work. Their price structure is prohibitive, though.

Tina Hanson Best nail place I’ve tried in Chico. Consistently clean, friendly and thorough. A little bit more expensive than some other places but you get what you pay for and more. It’s been my go to place for years now and every time I have to go somewhere else due to travel or scheduling I regret it and can’t wait for my next appointment here.

E Newt Went for the first time today for a basic spa pedicure, and it was by far the best pedicure I’ve ever gotten! The lady I had was so nice, gentle, and did a very good job. She massaged my legs for probably 30-40 minutes and it was amazing! The salon is the cleanest I’ve ever been to, and there’s no feeling of being rushed at all. They commit to taking care of you during your time, and I never once felt like they were trying to hurry so they could go to the next person. The massage chairs are also the most amazing ones I’ve ever experienced at a salon! It has a much cozier feel that your typical nail salon, and the quality and cleanliness of their equipment and polish was impressive. Not a single thing to complain about after my experience! And my toes look great! If I could give them a higher rating I would!

Sally Latham Best and longest moisturizing leg massage included in pedicure.. LOVED IT.. VERY Poor tip, dip, gel nail manicure. Got no dip, no moisturize or hand massage and nails are lumpy. It was my first experience getting tips so was very disappointed and yet paid full price. respond to their comment. Nothing they said is true. They did not explain or ask those questions. They did not ask if I was happy before I left. They did charge me full price. I have taken away one star because they are not truthful

Vanesa Flores-Horner I get my pedicure from Aubrey. She is so sweet and great at what she does. She is very clean, gentle and has my toes looking amazing! The salon is so nice, clean and everyone that works there is very sweet. I love that I can make an appointment online. Also, they have so many options with gel and polish that it’s awesome. They stay up on trends and never disappoint.

Kelly Schulman Bee is awesome, meticulous and her salon is clean, professional and a treat to visit! I’ve been searching for a nail salon that can create ombré style dip nails and Bee did a fantastic job! I loved them so much that I turned to Bee for lash extensions and once again thrilled with the results ! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Jessica Vega I’ve found my favorite spot in town! Been visiting BBs nails for a good handful of months. Cool vibe, clean and friendly technicians. Easy to get in last minute. They have several services and excited to experience them. Brianna did an amazing job on my nails! I also loved Sophia in the past! Support local!!

Alma Macias Silva Ly did a wonderful job! I came in for a fill, my nails were previously done elsewhere and they were bad. She fixed them up, and I loved the result. Will most definitely be coming back with her! Thank you Ly.

aunnica conner Sweet Aubrey did my nails and I could not be happier! She was so kind and her attention to detail was gratefully appreciated!! Will be going back just to see her!!!

Rita Rodriguez Kenny and Cindy are an amazing team. They do a great job and make you feel right at home. They do beautiful work. I would recommend anyone to to KC nails! ❤️

Karen Chez Today, both my husband and I got pedicures at K-C Nails. Kenny & Cindy are very professional. Kenny gives an awesome leg massage and Cindy is very meticulous with trimming & polishing the nails. My husband’s cost $35 & mine cost $50; I had green cats eyes enamel that requires the light to harden.

Janelle Chauvin Mr. Kenny and his lovely wife Cindy plus their staff are so welcoming!! They take such great care to do their jobs with excellence and dedication! My experience with them from the very start has been outstanding. May the Lord bless them as they have blessed me!

Elisa Odell Cindy is great, efficient and the spa is clean and relaxing…. Punctuality is a priority! Kenny gives a great massage! They are very accommodating and my new go to place!

Kyliana Mari Usually go here for pedicures every once in a while, but I refuse to go anywhere else in Chico now. I showed him the picture and what I wanted and it came out exactly how I planned! Took a little less than an hour and they always do a great job. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get their nails done. Always professional and kind people!

mak seal Thank you 1st Google Reviews, because I picked this salon from it being the highest-rated salon near me. Thank you, Tommy, and the pretty Lil gal that did my nails today. I really needed to do something nice for myself, and this was exactly what I needed. My nails are perfect, and I hope to treat myself regularly at your salon. It was definitely worth the drive, I left with beautiful nails and a smile! Be back Friday for my toes!!!

Mady Cavaness Love this place! They did a fantastic job and all the workers are so nice :) they are also one of the only places that have a hugeee selection of colors in dip powder which is so hard to find in Chico! Definitely going there again and 100% recommended going here! Got dip on my natural nails and then gel on my toes :)

megan clark Amazing deluxe pedicure with an incredible massage. My sister, Mother, and I came to get deluxe pedicures, called a day in advance and were able to easily get an appointment together. Very great experience and will come back next time we visit Chico! Thank you

Kristina Martinez Got to give a quick shout out to Tommy! I am very picky when it comes to my nails. I have had the same nail tech for almost 10 years due to being so picky. However, my nail lady is in YC and I am temporarily working in Chico so it’s really hard to coordinate a date with her. I decided to try Topnotchz and let me tell you, I am not disappointed at all! Tommy does a great job. Quick, smooth, perfectly shaped and a cute design.

Michelle Marrs Extermly disapointed I just had to file for a complaint with my Bank. Yesterday over the phone to get refunded for the worst Hair Coloring & Cut I had received. Since I moved to this one shop backwords town out of the Bay Area! The owner did this botched up job herself after she talked me into a low light job for my whole hair besides my bangs last Fri. Plus over thinned my hair. Gave me a problem the other day over the phone after I just noticed how unprofessional it had been made. She clearly didnt want to stay on the line and hanged up on me. The way she handled herself was childished! Didnt bother to offer anymore of her of own time to let me come back down to recolor my hair free of charge. Nor told me about another stylist I could go down to see to redue my hair. I had tried being nice to her entire salon staff apperently their under the given impression that Im too bossy! For how I like my hair done a certain way. Ashely didnt like the fact that my prev stylist whose 3 hrs back in Los Gatos, CA knew how to do my hair the way I liked it. Plus knew how to do a natural look that you can tell has been done with the color fusion job with Redken vol 20. I had been told to reschdule my appt for a later time instead of having done when requested last Fri instead of Thurs. The Color Fusion product wasnt even in the salon after giving them more then enough time go even have it ready on the day of my appt. I DID txt and sechduled in advanced for what I wanted for a coloring job and she tells me to my face claiming she never receivced my txt!?! I had been waiting for a response for 2 wks for any reply. Which is another red flag with how their not that serious in the way their running shop. It was the right number! Another women named Angela whom I had to speak to put in my info to even TRY to see the salon owner for my appt. Obviously didnt put down my entire info into the system seeing exactly what I txted to her boss for what I wanted done. Dont go down to this salon if you want your color job done by actual people who know exactly what their doing. Just look at how my entire hair looks uneven from the low light/highlight job. It doesnt even look like my hair got colored at all!

gabriella hammond I Do Not Recommend This Place At All For Eyebrows. Definitely Not Professional. I Had Nice Thick Eyebrows When I Walked Into That Shop, Keeping In Mind I Only Asked For A Cleanup, When I Came Out My Eyebrows Were Thin And Looked Like Spoons On My Face. It Will Definitely Take At Least 3 Months Or More To Get Them Back To How They Were. All Else Im Going To Say Is, That Lady Is Lucky I Paid.

Steph Smith Its So beautiful and high end while keeping it comfortable relaxing and trendy. Lots of room to kick back and talk. My hair looks amazing thank you Bonnie, love you and your salon. Plenty of parking right across the street. Im so impressed and cant wait to go back.

Shelly C Bonnie does an amazing job with color!! She definitely is great at what she does! Highly recommend

Michael Stewart Melissa is the best! Everyone always asks me, "who cut your hair?" Definitely a San Francisco style in downtown Chico!!! Angela

Lauren Alvarado Maily did a wonderful job doing my nails. I have been going to her for a couple years and she is so sweet and gentle on my sensitive nails. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a good manicurist. She has so many different designs to choose from that are so pretty. You can guarantee she will do her best to make your nails look beautiful and to your liking!!!!! She really has your best interests at heart!!!

Emillion Tattoo Danny does an amazing job every time! Him and Maily do my mom and I nails and we always have the best experience! The salon is brand new and renovated with all new chairs! Such a relaxing and peaceful environment :) definitely recommend

Jennifer Richardson You have to check out Chico Nails and Beauty!! This is a new salon at 968 Mangrove Ave!! Maily, Danny and Nancy are amazing!! Maily has so many different cool decals, nail jewelry, nail magnets and anything you can think of!!! They also have kid pedicure stations!!! Very clean and friendly!! Dont forget you can have some wine or beer too!!

Jennifer Tammy and David are both amazing! The first place in the area I went to when I moved here had my acrylics lifting and coming off around 2 weeks. They last 4 weeks again since seeing Tammy and David. And Tammy is amazing with designs! And so quick but still quality work. They are very attentive to detail and perfection in their work. Their stamp card is a great thing and I love that they never try to upsell you on addons like almost any other nail salon I’ve been to in all my years. They are very upfront with costs and have always let me know before starting the nail color and design I choose.

cyndi dean I am in Chico from Oklahoma. I needed my nails done & found Joanna at Creative Nails. She was so friendly & did a fabulous job.

xPhiq My friend referred me here and it was very great. The lady there did a very good job and Ill come back

Elizabeth Paschall Joanna was very fast an pleasant to talk to.. loved my gel polish

Stephana Femino April is AMAZING! I’ve been going to her for nearly 20 years and from the start she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She’s friendly, professional, and the best in her field!

Deana Stanton Professional, experienced, knowledgeable all services have been exceptional. Will accommodate scheduling if at all possible. April is AMAZING! I highly recommend!!

A-Elizabeth Morgan I had an apt at 1. I called prior to arrival NO Answer. I show up to find out she put two clients ahead of me. She is very unprofessional with time management. April also does not care if her client needs to be done and have their appointment at a specific time.

Ashton Lippen April is fantastic, she is professional, experienced, and makes everyone feel welcome. This is a great place to go!

Myah Meow April is a god send. She not only fit me in last minute appointment but drove back to the spa for me after already closing up for the day. She did an amazing job and was incredibly friendly. 10/10 experience at spa pierman. I would highly recommend!!

Elizabeth Vojnovic This was my first time going to this nail salon. And I have to say they didnt excellent job! Unfortunately I am bad with names so I dont remember the name of the woman who did my nails. But she was really nice and. Gave me a ten dollar off coupon for my next visit. I used to not like to get my nails done. Because of sensory reasons.. But recently ive actually enjoyed getting them done

Sheri Anderson First time being here and there was 4 of us. My nails turned out to look amazing, however my sisters nails which was done by someone else, mine were done by the owner, looked awful there are air bubbles and the acrylic is uneven. They look horrible but then both my nieces look good. So I still give them 5 stars

Patty T Ive had better experiences here.. overall after many correction advices from me .. my nails were nice.

cheng saechao Im so glad i found this place, its clean and the nail tech is fast and efficient. I am a busy person and thats a plus. I have a weird nail bed and I told her I always get my cuticles cut by the drill and she has not cut me and gets the color I want. Please check this place out, clean, efficient and professional.

Natasha Begley Dont go here. They cut me twice. I was still bleeding when I left and charged me 45, which I asked for the plan pedicure, which is 30.

Chloe Fowler I had an incredible visit. Right from the start, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made me feel welcome. The salons cleanliness and beautiful decor set the perfect relaxing vibe. Each worker was attentive, ensuring that every part of my experience was top-notch. They didnt just meet my expectations, they exceeded them with their exceptional service and attention to detail. I left feeling pampered and delighted with the results. This place is a gem, and I cant wait to return!

Kayla Ginn Amazing services! I’m traveling for work and always struggle to find a good nail salon. I looked at reviews and decided to go with Sue and she was great! If I lived here I would make this and Sue my regular salon.

Ana-Cristina Navarro I have been to Meriam Nails and Spa three times so far, and will return. As a Type 1 Diabetic I need to take very good care of my feet. Im very particular about pedicures. The staff here are very meticulous, thorough and professional. I highly recommend them.

Elliot arakanchi I stumbled upon this nail salon and its been a game changer for me. The staff are not only skilled professionals but also incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Haylee My friends and I love to come here for our pedicures and sometimes to get nails done too! Great experience every time, and have never had any issues with waiting when making an appointment- which I’ve had at many other places.

utshoc pelunoww This nail salon is a true gem in the city, offering impeccable service in a stylish setting.

Sara Lorenze I have been coming here for almost 2 years since the new ownership and I have yet to find a better nail salon! Everyone at the salon is great and talented but Lily is amazing. You can literally show her any image and she can re-create it. If you happen to have somebody else doing your nails, she will usually jump in and do the nail art for you. They have everything from full sets and fills with acrylic, a HUGE selection of quality gel polishes & dip powders, jelly & cat eye polishes, all sorts of gemstones, lots of cute things for acrylic inlay, fun foils, chrome powders, etc. just about anything you could want & regular manicures. Their pedicures are so relaxing, comfortable massage chairs, super sanitary and they do an awesome job. You can get gel or acrylic toes with nail art as well. Lily’s skill set is amazing! She does amazing Lash Extensions! Super affordable price point. The retention I have experienced has been amazing especially compared to other people I’ve gone to and she is so fast. She does beautiful nanoblading, microblading, powder brows, combination brows & corrections. Can’t wait to get mine done! The lip blushing and correction she does I have seen on other clients and it is just beautiful and I definitely am going to be getting it done. I get my eyebrows waxed there & they offer other waxing services and she always does an amazing job and I never have any issues with my sensitive skin. Overall, this is just a great salon. Walk-ins are always welcome and if you want to get any of the other services like lash extensions, nanoblading, microblading, etc., lip, blushing, etc.. Make sure you call or go in and have a consultation and then you will usually make an appointment unless she has time that day. 10⭐️ out of 10⭐️

Lily Red I really like getting my nails done here. . They did very well. They can do any design . And have a lot charms

Karla Johnson Lily and her crew do fantastic work! Whatever nail idea I ask for, Lily never says "I cant do that". I get dip powder manicures and have never had a single issue. Pedicures are always awesome. Most recently I got lash extensions. They are natural and beautiful; not to long or fluffy! They dont even hit my eyeglasses when I blink. I love my spa days at American Nails & Spa.

Amanda Mcclintock I have been here 5-6 times now so overall I like this place over a few others I’ve tried in Chico. They have better prices and the quality isn’t less. One visit I had a longer wait time- 30 minutes- but they had me soak my legs while I waited which was nice to offer. 50$ for what I got this time a full set w a design, and my ombre fills are 40-45. Ombre and designs always cost more and other places I usually pay 60+ before tip. The techs are all really nice too. The first time I was there, the owner Lily, took me in on a Sunday 30 minutes before closing. I was shocked and that’s one reason I came back.

Bonnie Hilbert Very pleased with Jills work. My nails look wonderful.

Sammy Aerin Love this salon and cant wait to comeback in a few days to see Shannon again! They do the best nails I have had done around Chico for sure!

Jessica Olah Love Shannon!! She s done my nails for over 2 years. Highly recommend her

Michael Olah This is where my wife goes every 2 weeks to get her fingernails done. And everyone always complements on her nails! Shannon does amazing work!!!

Tracie Lewis This is the BEST NAIL SALON in town.. I make the drive from Oroville and pay the extra money for Great service. I will always be a customer of Nail Candy. Thanks Jill for A1 service.

Natasha Begley I absolutely love this place. Ive been here a few times with my daughter. Everytime has been perfect. Well I decided to venture out a couple weeks ago to try somewhere new for a pedicure. Well that was a hugh mistake. So today I decided to go back to this place, and once again a perfect job. I learned my lesson. This is my place. She did an amazing job. She was perfect. I should have got her name. Next time I will ask.

Cade I was a walk in and John took care of me and he was so incredibly sweet and patient! Did a perfect job on my nails, just what I hoped for! Will DEFINITELY be my go to from now on!

Cheryl Franke I was very happy with my Halloween themes gel manicure today. Bravo!

Breath of Time This is my all-time favorite place! Lee is absolutely amazing and so creative! A long time customer! I always come in to do everything at one...mani/Pedi and eyebrows. They are so sweet and I come away feeling perfect!

Michelle Mayfield Hilary was so friendly and skilled! It was one of the best hot stone massages Ive ever had, if not the best. I went in in a great deal of pain from an old car accident injury and finally got relief. Theyve also worked hard to create a beautiful and soothing lobby space. I love visiting this spa.

Olivia Rodriguez Honestly the worst massage I’ve ever got. I got my wife a couples massage. We got there 3 minutes late, the sir by the reception guilt tripped us a little bit but it wasn’t too bad. But then the massage started. My wife got luckier than I, I don’t remember the name of her masseuse, but she at least went all in there. Mine I honestly couldn’t feel anything, it felt like he didn’t know what he was doing. When I turned around on my back for him to do my neck/chest/shoulders, ALL HE DID FOR 15 MINUTES WAS CARESSING MY SCALP! on our way out, the lady at the reception was absolutely incompetent, we weren’t able to tip with card because she couldn’t figure it out. I came because of the good reviews but I‘m never coming back again. Only Urban Med Spa in Chico from now on! Really sad I spent so much money on this place…

Osmara Herrera We booked a couples massage a week ahead. Called ahead in the morning the day of to confirm the appointment only to get there a few hours later for our appointment and be told we were only booked for a single massage not a couples massage. It was obviously a clerical error on their part, which is understandable, but the receptionist didn’t give any solution or option, or even an offer to reschedule, just a “sorry, we don’t have you down for a couples.” Obviously expecting us to leave. Awkward experience.

cindee lanning I had my first Massage in years, It could not have been better. Sadie listened to me about my neck and shoulder pain. As I was driving home, I realized I wasnt in pain. The spa was everything you would want a spa to be. Calm, relaxing, and very enjoyable.

Jamie Chamberlain I had an apt on 1/18 for 1:45 that I accidentally booked under my husbands name. I called and asked that they change it to my name. I was told they would cancel my apt and re enter in my name. Show up for my apt and I was not in the schedule. Low and behold they accidentally scheduled me for the following week. I was told they could squeeze me in at 2:50 with a male masseuse, whom Ive had before and was not a fan of so I declined and said I would keep my new apt on the 25th. The original masseuse I scheduled came out and said she had a 1:45 and said my husbands name. I was like OH thats my apt, just wrong name. Another woman waiting said that was her apt, and the receptionist corrected the masseuse and said no, you have (womans name). So I said thats weird that the masseuse i had originally booked still had our name. To which I was told "she must be looking at an old schedule" at that point the woman who now had the 1:45 slot says to me "its my apt dont be rude". I responded stating i wasnt trying to be rude nor was I speaking to her and said "damn". (I was not yelling) The receptionist shushed me. I explained again to her I wasnt trying to be rude to anyone, I was just confused at the situation. She essentially couldnt have given 2 craps, gave me the most insincere apology and I said, never mind cancel please. In my opinion none of that was handled well at all. I walked out utterly mortified that someone thought I was creating a scene with no interjection from the staff.

Ally Miracle I asked for a white to black ombré and they said they could do it. The lady got my acrylic on and tried to do one nail before calling someone over to tell me she couldn’t do it. Then she said she’d give me black nails with jewels and i mentioned multiple air bubbles a few times before leaving but they weren’t as bad as they were the next morning. When i called the next day saying i just wanted my money back they said they’d redo them. I politely told them i really didn’t want them to do them again, i wanted to go somewhere else. They said no and i went in the next day to get them redone. They were better looking but lasted less than 1.5-2 weeks. the pics are the night/morning after i left. never went again.

Marci Ortiz I am love coming here. Very time my nails turn out so beautiful. People are friendly and good service. Relaxing places ever.

Cassy Chiles My favorite place to go to get my nails and toes done. I drive from Oroville just to come to OPI. They are always nice to me and my daughters, they put cute pictures on my daughters nail and fixed them when they accidentally bumped their wet nails.

Siriporn Archer Its frustrating, terrible service ! It is my first time and last time for me to get there. I got dip powder on my fingers. The young lady just wanted getting done for quality of customer and hurted my nail couple time. After the job done my nail were thick , look ugly and they were not clean. The price is $45 for getty ugly nail done. Check it out on the photos. Good luck with this shop guys. I will not return.

Hannah Creech Everyone working here does an absolute amazing job every time. I love coming here, they are super fast, friendly, and they pay attention to detail. I’ve been coming here for years and Tony and Tammy are always soooo sweet. The man who painted my nails today (I didn’t catch his name) but he did an incredible job!! I walked out so satisfying with my nails, I’m in love. The attention to details and patience he had while working on my nails was greatly appreciated. And if your looking for a pedicure…. I highly recommend, they’re prices are pretty inexpensive and the leg massages are wonderful!

Romeo Valentino Super friendly people, they quickly sit you down in a massage chair and get right to work on you. Very comfortable atmosphere and prices are very reasonable. If you go here, try and get one of the owners to work on you, they do the best work and take there time with you.

Lindie Cano Just went to Tammys for my first time after getting a dip somewhere else that I was not happy with at all. I had considered not getting another dip but when I mentioned it to An, she totally understood my dissatisfaction and did an amazing job! I love my nails so much! An is my girl until the end of time!

Brenda Kay So extremely satisfied! First time here. I had a mani/pedi and they are so attentive to detail. I had my nails done by the owner ( Tammy) and she is a perfectionist and has better suggestions for what you are looking for. Ive never been happier with a nail shop!
