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

Sabrina Sifuentez Sage is Amazing, always knows the latest styles and trends. I just sit there and she works her magic. Highly recommend

Shirley Patricia Brown The entire staff is at the top of their game and I mean just because were in a small town we dont get small town service these ladies give you up town big city service that he will be happy with and brag about until your next visit

G S Back entrance behind main. Cute inside! Was not impressed with the brazilian service. Waxer didnt hold the skin after wax removal which made it very painful. Ive been waxed by others elsewhere. This is too rough for my likings. The alcohol after balm isnt worth the burn or the price of $60. I understand we all gotta make a living but damn Ive never had pain like this before. Im sticking with my cooling Finipil aftercare and taking my business elsewhere.

Paola CONTRERAS Ashley did a great job! This was my first time here. She created the exact design I desired and it looks great. She flexible on hours as well.

Lucy Perez full service. very cozy. great customer service is our this goal.

Caroline Avila Love Love Love my #HappyNailDay with Alison. So professional, consistent and creative. Her salon has a great atmosphere, no drama, no kids, just a calm place for a girl to rejuvenate.

D G My first time going and my appointment was set for 3:30 and I wadmt even set until after 3:46 pm and I gave Brianna Martinez my Pic and said what I wanted and told her I real nails with an overlay to which she said why didnt I tell her that and I said I had. She also had been rude when I told her I had to wait almost 20 minutes to have my appointment start, and she said when given an appointment thats anestimated time..Serious. I said I had my kids coming from a movie before 5, and she said she didnt have time to do my nails she had an appointment at 4:45. But then, had already started my nails, and then I paid up front for the removal, which she did horrible. That was my first time there and I will not go back. Horrible treatment.

Megan Burk Absolutely the BEST! I love coming here to get my nails done. Alison is amazing, and her work is unmatched. She’s also one of the best human beings I’ve ever met! Her nail services are literally a work of art. You will not be disappointed.

Connie Bomar Icalled to schedule a fill for myself and my mum. They answered but had no available dates and times to schedule appts. Third time of me calling and no time for business. Cant judge this place except for what I know and experienced. Hoping for some service soon. I love to give great reviews. Maybe next time.

Sarah Mings Got my nails done yesterday and am so in love with them. I dont get my nails done often, but when I do I always go here. Best place in Merced.

Mireya Rodriguez If I could give it no starts I would! Online it says they are open at 8:00 a.m Saturday and it is 8:20 A.M the Nail person young woman with black hair Caucasian said they are booked for today and yet Im the only car in the parking lot that was waiting since 7:45 for them to open. I called twice no answer either. I was really hoping this was going to be my go to spot from now on. Very unprofessional.

Sherleen Stoney I have been with Laura for over 20 years! She runs a very classy place, always happy, kind and works hard to make your nails art!! Very satisfied customer.

David Brown We have family in Merced and after a 6 hour drive to visit them my wife and I always get a massage at Health and Beauty to recover from the previous days drive. Classy and upscale but unlike chain spas or strip mall massage places this place is staffed by independent practitioners, not employees so the different specialties and pride in their work shines through.

Mina Eltareb I highly recommend coming here for all your self care :-) Have been coming to health & beauty spa for couple years now they offer everything you need . The ladies make you feel so comfortable. You leave with a smile, relaxed and refreshed each time ! Monique is who I see for facials she offers amazing services and very affordable. BEST in town Thank you health and beauty spa for always taking care of your clients.

Sabrina Lynn As someone who works outdoors delivering fuel and spending time on farms, my skin often faces the brunt of dirt, clogged pores, and exposure to the elements. That’s why I prioritize getting two facials a month with Monique. Her expertise and personalized care have done wonders for my skin. I always leave feeling refreshed, and my skin has never looked better!

Bertha Alexander This spa offers a few different services. It’s a great place for spa parties and gift ideas. Who doesn’t like of “me” day? I enjoyed a few of the services offered here. The anti-aging/skin firming facials. These were great for my sun damaged skin. I feel my skin is firmer and well hydrated. The lymphatic drainage facial, is great for post menopause face swelling. It works for post cosmetic surgery as well. They have a Japanese head massage that feels great on the scalp. They also offer nail services to complete your spa day. Next on my list is the full body massage. What a great treat for Merced!

F E Highly recommend coming to this location for all your spa needs! So relaxing and much needed! I especially recommend hydrafacials with Monique, have seen a major difference in my face plumpness and brightness after my appointments. Will be returning to try some of the new services being offered as well :)

Isabel Miramontes Worst costumer service. Been coming to this place for years since they do a great job with my eyebrows. I was just in but my 2 year old really needed to use the restroom I asked if we could use it and and they said no. I understand theres no public restroom but I am a customer. Theyve allowed me to use it when Ive gotten facials before. They just lost a returning costumer.

Satseuc Astromech As a guy I’m a bit shy to come to a place like this and get my eyebrows cleaned up. The ladies are friendly and get straight to business. They take walk-ins and it costs 13$ for their work. It only takes a few minutes and you leave feeling great about your outside appearance.

Valentina Ledesma I love my eyebrows they do them very good always !

Mj LA This place just tried to overcharge me for threading after I was told verbally that it would be a total of $41 dollar they tried ringing me $51 instead. When I brought it up to the employee she denied giving me that price quote. She then went on to tell me I should have looked at the "wall", which is located towards the back that has a price list and that it was my responsibility to calculate my total before the service. I told her there is no need to look at any wall if I directly spoke to her and she told me the threading total would be $41 Dollars. Of course, I was upset not just because she lied to be once, but she repeatedly kept denying her claim and didnt apologize. The other employee and other patrons looked at her as she stated "oh I didnt calculate the total and gave you the wrong number" . Everyone please BEWARE if you ask how much for services and as they ring you up a different price, look at the price they are charging your card. This place is unethical !!!

Stephanie Bomar Going to BJ Nails has been a beautiful experience. The ambience is mellow, relaxing state. Staff is beautifully wonderful and gracious. I recommend any and all to attend for some type of service here. Love my nails, always

isabel contreras Love coming here! They are great people and very nice. Thank you Jennie for doing me and my mom’s nails you’re amazing!! ☺️

Estefania Escobedo I will like to show off my nails today. A big shout out to Suri who is a talented nail tech who did my nails they look beautiful and i absolutely love it. Another shoutout to Jennie and Bo who always contributed on my nails they did a wonderful job. Everyone was kind and helpful. Definitely will be coming back.

Kayla Wantland Absolutely wonderful and kind people. I don’t know who the guy is that did my nails but I reccomend getting him. Very kind staff. And I love my nails so that’s a big bonus

Fairycat1971 Wonderful service. This is always a relaxing and pampering place. I went for a deluxe pedicure and a full set of acrylic nails. I walked out feeling like a princess with artwork on my nails. Suri did a beautiful job painting my nails.

Nine Aragon Love love LOVE this place. It was my first time getting a pedicure, and was nervous because I’m shy with my feet. I got the deluxe package, my boyfriend got the same. This package is one above the basic one. Absolutely loved it, almost fell asleep multiple times. And the massage chairs are amazing too. And the hot rocks they used to massage my legs. I didn’t ask what person I got to do my pedi but she was amaaazing. They also has great throwback music playing. Will definitely be coming again! It really felt like a mini vacation!

Noah Zamarripa Pretty good, I recommend but ask for a better message on certain employees. I recently went and the person/employee lacked on the foot and leg message. I wished I could have actually get my cuticles cut better and foot/leg rub better, ask for the young gentleman and the young lady, they did a better service (on pedicure).

Mrs. K Jackson So first of all I will start by saying all people whether you are black brown yellow red or purple let us please please stop giving these salons money that refuse to treat us with respect and basic business customer service! I would give zero stars and negative Stars if they had the option. 1. Made an appointment for 2:45 p.m. 8/2, the day I am writing this so it is fresh and clear in my mind ...for two, myself and my daughter who is 6 years old and autistic. First flag, after being told no problem we have that available, we ended up waiting an extra 30 plus minutes. 2. Second flag they did not use their brains to think my daughter and I needed to sit next to each other hence the autism (was mentioned on phone). No problem, I am patient, so we wait longer so we can sit together. 3. Next flag, I would like a regular polish manicure, with french tips, but I would like to choose a slightly different color for the base. Which I have done countless times at every salon I can think of. The unfortunate, and troubled, 30 to 40 year old, very thin, frail and looking crazy and rude Asian person, who was a female, told "they" could not do that. Oh and that was after I had said hello how are you today, because she did not say anything and even when I asked, did not open her defected mouth to say a word. 4. I already sensed the problem from the Giddyup, So I said you know what thats okay lets just do my daughters manicure. 5. Next flag this same person decides to sell me a downgrade to the service and says why dont you just do a polish change for her, that will cost you $10. So number one her condescending tone suggested that I guess I only came to the salon to get services for $10. And we all know dog gone well out there that we spend $100 plus getting our nails done each time, at least I do. With my manicure and pedicure, gel polish and so forth. Now what common sense, business savvy, person with a half brain working in a business downgrades or down sales a service?? Nobody thats who?? 6. Flag 5 million, then this person after asking her to Simply file my six-year-old daughters nails, which are not long at all. She refuses to file them which would have only taken two swoops of a file to even them out. At that point someone was about to be slapped. After confirming so are you telling me you will not file her nails? This ignorant person said she could not. At that point I said you know what were going to go. She had the nerve to take her mask off and say well I dont know what the problem is. And I told her what the problem was and that I would not be giving my heart-earned money to someone who cannot even say hello or open up their mouths or help the customer get what they want no thank you and goodbye. I do think this is a major issue with several of these Asian-based salons serving Black people in smaller towns such as the Merced area. Well, I will not stand for it and I think I should take legal action based on the discriminatory behaviors of the people and/or person working in this salon.! I very rarely do reviews that are negative, because I feel like if you dont have nothing nice to say.... okay... but in this case the prejudicial and racist Behavior was so obvious I had to leave, my daughter and i, before staying in that horrendous location one second longer and definitely before they took any of my money!! Shameful shameful shameful and disgusting Behavior, horrible customer service and I will never be back and anyone that I know or who is reading this please do not support this location unless you get the best of service! You deserve to have your hard earned money go to a business that appreciates it!! ..cont.. Went to atwater to Angels nails moments later, did EVERYTHING I ASKED NO PROBLEM! PERIOD!! PHOTOS FROM ANGELS NAILS!!!! ……….. To their pitiful response of glad we found a place we liked…. I’d BE GLAD IF U ADDRESSED THE HORRIBLE AND RACIST ATTEMPTED SERVICE.

Tracy Hernandez Best pedicure ever…. Nancy was amazing. She was very gentle and always made sure I was ok. The massage was amazing. Although there were people waiting for pedicures she took her time and did not rush. Everyone else was nice as well. I will be booking with Nancy for my future pedicures.

Kandi Dunham Lorra gave me the coolest and prettiest set Ive ever had. Ryan gave my kid the best theyve ever had. Great service both times Ive been. Will be back for sure.

Dr. Julia Harrison Great place to get acrylic nails. They take their time and have great ideas for designs Highly recommend them!

Kamani Morrow Jay did a great job she was very friendly and made my nails exactly how I wanted love her work!

Jordan Porter Nothing bad with the customer service but the nails were done bad and fell off less than a week of having them so that’s super disappointing. The gel was over my cuticles and you could definitely see that after day 3. I’ve never had my nails fall off in less than a week. I would have liked then to at least last two weeks. I’m not rough on my nails either. My toes were also painted gel on my skin and cuticles. So those look horrible now and half my pinky wasn’t even painted. Overall disappointment with the service but everyone was super nice. Just a waste of 100$.

Lauren Hoff Loved my experience. Ladies were very nice. My acrylic nails came out just like the picture and the nail tech was quick and gentle!

Lurdes Rivera Our technicians did a beautiful job on my manicure and my boyfriends pedicure. We loved it and will be coming back again in a couple of weeks. Everyone have a happy holiday.! Check out my pictures attached, beautiful!

Arik Olson Just wanted to share about my experience. Im a guy that has has a skin problem. I needed a few spots on my face removed . I wanted to be laser removed. I also go there for manicure, pedicure and of course massages. T the owner is absolutely wonderful she very sweet. Pro day salon is the bomb . Im a guy and its a one stop shop for all things skin , permanent make microbladding , cool sculpting ect . To many to list here . Very pleased and will recommend

Tina Corona I had a horrible experience here I went to get my hair highlighted with blonde,brown,and red. In the process she burned my head and smoke was coming from it she told me as she rushed me to the water "it was okay" then she told me that after I brush it and dont wash it for a few days it will look like the picture I had showed her. She had me pay 180$ .After those days past my hair was not anything like the picture the top of my head was almost all blonde and my grays were still showing. When I came back she was mad and said she would fix it after the 2 hours she took to "trying" to fix my hair my hair was even worse she made a smart remark "is there a enough highlights now" I told her it still isnt right then she started to come at me very rude and brought her tazer out and tried to taze me she even insulted me. With my experience here I advise you not to come here.

Heather Hudler Thank you Amelia, for giving me my confidence back! I love my new lashes!

Tristian L My loves hooked me up for Mother’s Day, I was treated to a massage, facial, pedicure, and manicure. Thuy was personable, professional, and her spa shop is immaculate (clean and cozy). The massage was amazing and relaxing, my face was silky smooth and looked great after the facial, and completely happy with my gel mani and pedi. I would also like to note that I started to get cramps (women stuff) while I was getting my manicure Thuy really went the extra mile to help me out. She provided me with a warm compress, brought me water so I cold take medicine, and continued to ask how I was feeling. This is my spot now that I’ll continue to go to. Thank you Thuy for being so good to me!

Lorena Henson Absolutely the best great services friendly and fast very clean and professional

Wes and Nessa Capled yet not open to public. Was kinda disappointed as i e looked at her work n i was excited to book.

AJ Vasquez We made an appointment for 2 pedicures at 1:30 got seated right away but what was weird is that all of the employees were with customers. My wife was helped almost immediately however I had to wait almost an hour until they got started. This isnt the first time this has happened either. We thought maybe they accidentally overbooked time spots the last couple of times. But it seems like this is a trend for them. In the past the actual pedicure was good but I was rushed out after waiting almost an hour. After today we are definitely not coming back.

Angelica Maxwell Ill never waste my money here again. I showed her a picture they had in their own book and she said she could do it and my nails look worse than they did when I went in. They were supposed to have lace print french tips and big circle designs with the diamonds on the ring fingers. Instead she painted the french tips on by hand and didnt even attempt the lace print. She just threw the diamonds on with no pattern. Most of the diamonds are just stacked on top of eachother and upside down so you cant even see them correctly. She charged me 132 dollars for a nonexistent design. I wasted hours in there for nails that would have looked better if Id of bought them off amazon. Dont waste your time or money going here. Youre better off going literally anywhere else.

Bhupinder Kaur I went there a day before yesterday to get my nails done. Lady was nice but she was in a rush because of Easter. This is shocking that Nail polish peeled off in just 1 day. Never happened to me before because it always stays almost 3 weeks.This was my first time to visit this place. I feel, it was just a waste of money and time. Place is expensive in terms of quality of work and service. She didn’t remove my own nails where she put the fake nails. So Disappointed because I have a function, and I don’t have time to get it done again.

Justine Dicochea Payed 75 for this set and didn’t get no rhinestones after asking for a heart , she drew it on and the a’s different sizes , honestly won’t go back again.

Parrisha Fortson I’ve been getting my nails done for years and have never had such a bad experience. I tried to give the owner the benefit of the doubt since they were so nice. I called to ask if I could be refunded since my nails were so bad. Theres water damage on five of my nails and I got my nails done less than five days ago. I let her know that she did not glue them correctly and she told me that they do not do refunds. She told me I need to come to the store to get it fixed. I do not want them fixed. There’s lifting under my mail which allows food and water to get under which is DISGUSTING. I’ve never had this happen to me. Will not be returning.

Jessie Urbanski Great service and awesome atmosphere. The ladies are so kind and took my two daughters and I as walk ins with little to no wait time.

Kayla Mendez Very disappointed with the service I received today. I was the last person to be seated and the first person to be done. Which normally I wouldnt care about the time but you could definitely tell the lack of effort put in by the tech doing my pedicure. It took maybe 20 min for the whole service and after at was separated from my friend who was worked on properly for another 30 min. ( same price for each service we got, so its not like she got a better package) It almost worse knowing you couldve had better service by someone in the salon and not getting it. I believe the woman who worked on my friend was Thao, so if you consider going here for a pedicure ask for her.

Debbie Prince Went for gel manicure. She was so fast like trying to break a record. When pushing cuticle and filing it actually hurt and my ring nail she caused a cut on the side by my nail and skin. (I know because there was a little blood) I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want an argument. Won’t be going back.

Maria Flores It was okay, normal girl I go to was not there. And I got my nails done by someone else. I wish they would pay attention to detail. The corners and sides were not done well and about 3 days later my index finger nail was lifting already. They used to have better quality and used to last longer. Unfortunately now they dont take their time for quality work.

Belinda Cranfill So far, I have not been disappointed with the services here at Rose Nails! I have gotten my nails done here 3 times and my toes once. I live close to the salon so this place is very convenient for me. I will be going back within the next 2 weeks to get another pedicure for my baby shower! Ill update my review if the services change. I kinda have high expectations for the pedicure since its for my baby shower and the last one I got from them lasted a really long time without any paint chipping! I 100% recommend this place! Very nice ladies!

Samantha F Edit: I’ve been back to see Rachel every couple weeks since that first visit. She knows me by name and is SO talented. We love you Rachel! I have had some awful experiences at nail salons in the area, so I was cautiously hopeful when I came in yesterday. I was so pleasantly surprised. It was a great time! The girl who did my pedi took her time, was thorough and didn’t rush me at all. She made my toes look amazing! But the real reason I’m writing this is about Rachel. This girl was literally the best nail artist I’ve ever had in 25 years. I have a crooked middle finger and she took the nail tip on and back off probably 15 times until she got it perfectly aligned with the rest of my nails. Every other nail artist puts it on crooked with my finger. It looks so good I wanted to cry. Not only did she take her time, make my crooked nail straight, she did a wonderful design. I’ll be back for her specific.

Adi Stevens Came back to get a fill and gel pedicure. Love my nails! Thank you ladies

Mariah Little Went a couple of days ago to this place to get my nails done just moved here from Modesto and I haven’t got my nails done in years. Usually, the next day my nail beds are really sore getting my nails done here my nails were not sore/tender at all, the staff were amazing Specially Diane. very clean space and the staff are extremely nice

Adriana G I came here hoping to fix a bad nail job from another salon, but what I experienced was even worse. Instead of properly removing my old set, they literally ripped them off, causing serious damage to my natural nails. It’s been weeks now, and my nails are still recovering from the trauma. No professional should ever handle a removal this way. If you care about the health of your nails, I highly recommend going elsewhere! And at the end, the new set was worse than the old one.

Jennifer Rosen UPDATED REVIEW: I have been coming here for 4 years. The service has always been mixed. I would say the 3 nicest technicians are the younger woman who works near the front desk, the younger man who also tends to work near the front, and the older man who works near the seating area. The three of them have always given me fantastic customer service and a fantastic experience. Recently it seems one woman has been managing the shop; she is very rude and rushes services, doesn’t do a great job. Last time she did my service I kept pointing out to her that she hadn’t covered my entire nail with the acrylic product, but she was argumentative and told me that the nail wasn’t done being shaped. I was really upset with the final product but accepted that she wasn’t going to help make sure I was happy with the outcome. Today all day she told me there’s no availability; however they don’t allow booked appointments so I don’t understand how they can be busy since 2:30 PM. I came in and checked it out and I was told I could come back in an hour. I came back and she did not allow me to receive a service even though they were letting other walk-ins have services. After being a consistent customer for 4 years, I think I’m done coming to this business. I am grateful for the technicians who are kind and patient, but she really ruins my experience. I’m going to check out Rose Nails down the street. *I also left a tip to be passed along to the younger man who previously worked on my nails, so I hope she gives that to him* ORIGINAL REVIEW: Very good considering other salons in Merced, probably the best option for quality. However, prices are comparable or more expensive than the San Francisco. They play Christian music, which is fine I guess, but inconsiderate to the fact that their clientele is diverse and may be a part of other religious groups or atheist. It gets slightly annoying to listen to when I’m trying to relax and get my nails done.

Corinna Diaz I live in chowchilla but will only get my nails done here. Young lady in glasses is the best and knows how to keep up with trends. My nails last 6+ weeks, totally worth the price, and shape is perfect everytime! The longer sets were done on myself.. shorter sets were done on my sister. What you pay for is what you get so it’s worth the splurge

Pachee Thao I came here for the first time tonight. I got the spa pedicure plus gel French tip total for $50. I had a great pedicure. The lady who helped me was really sweet. I would definitely come back.
