5 /5 T McKC: Ticca and her staff and THE BEST in Santa Barbara for nail care. Ive been seeing Ticca for a few years now and there is NO ONE else Ive been to that has ever given me the experience I have had at her shop.
The chairs are comfy furniture-type chairs, not the typical vibrating/massaging chairs, and the foot basins are lined portable tubs. They take their time with their manicures and pedicures, carefully using their tools with skill. I always feel relaxed and cared for when Im there.
Prior to coming to Ticca I had acrylic nails. It took me a while to get my nails back to health but she really helped me. She suggested specific products, I used them and my nails are finally back to their strong pre-acrylic selves!! She knows what my nails need and I listen to her.
She is also a great nail artist. I have given her some challenges to put onto my nails and she has gotten it done. The staff is high quality, kind and skilled.
Personalized nail care, relaxing atmosphere and quality service is what you will get at One Carat. Its more of a nail spa to me, really!
