Savvy Nails - Woodland (CA)

5 /5 Kelly Scheuer: I first went into the nail salon close to this one. It was too busy, so I came here and was helped right away. They did a very thorough job, were very nice, and it was a relaxing atmosphere at a good price. They also gave me a lotion gift on my way out. I would come again! Also they wore gloves so Im not sure why another review said that they didnt.

1 /5 Kelsey Boyle: I’ve been here a couple times and the service has always been OK. However, last time, it was legit the worst manicure I’ve ever had. It was a fill and I was neverrrr asked what shape I wanted. So I told her. And yet she continued the manicure with zero shaping or filing at all. She skipped a few of the usual steps in fills, making it super round in the middle since she didn’t properly file down the acrylic, etc. It happens but I just hoped she would fix it at the end. Not the case! The end result was bumpy acrylic and NO shape. Some were round, some were square, some were just jagged?? It was super weird, like she couldn’t see they were all different and sharp and jagged ? It was legit like having my niece do it for me, someone with zero experience. I’ve NEVER spoken out before but I legit asked her - can you just make them all look the same? Like shape them? Then she got annoyed with me and told me that I needed to redo my entire nail because the acrylic was “old” but at least leveled off the edges so they werent jagged but still all different shapes. It was legit the worst manicure I’ve ever had, it looked like I was a child doing my own nails. Like someone with zero experience or care in what she was doing then blaming me for her awful job? Extra sucky is these were supposed to be my vacation nails…they ended up chipping TWO DAYS later on the way to my vacay. And the acrylic didnt chip, the gel did , which takes away her argument. She also managed to get the gel all over my fingers and didn’t clean it off. Such a mess. The pic is 2 days after the manicure. Acrylic and gel. It usually lasts 3-4 weeks for me and that’s because they grow out, they never chip. Sucks because I used to love this place. I will say that there was a lady beside me getting her nails done BEAUTIFULLY! By another lady. And there was some back and forth when I complained. But I was allowed to walk out of that place with those hideous, pointy mixed with flat nails and no one fixed them despite my objections. I’ve always been a regular there but after that, I just can’t go back unfortunately. The pic is when they started chipping. I wish I had taken it immediately after when they were all different lengths, shapes, etc. I tried to save them after the chipping started and filed them down. Oh, and this fill took only 30 minutes. Another bad sign.

5 /5 Phi Võ: Nice place for doing your nail here and pedicare always good, very busy but fully staffed, massage good

5 /5 Isidrah orwath: Ive NEVER had someone tend to my feet like that! So meticulous, intricate. Definitely didnt just "go through the motions". Absolutely incredible. These toes could be on a magazine cover!

1 /5 Ashlee H: First time here without doing research like I usually do and I have to say; GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! First things first, the techs are not very professional. 3/5 were newbies to the nail world so every client was getting bounced from tech to tech and people were leaving because they were just taking way too long. For the pedicures everything is fine but for the manicures is a completely different story. I am a very picky gal who knows what she wants with that being said, the tech was not only applying the acrylic nails sideways rather than straight but also was working on my hands without gloves and I noticed she had cuts on her hand so please WATCH OUT! That’s how people get infections on their nails. I made a comment about that and she put on gloves. Additionally they have their filing machines on high setting which burns you when they are working on your hands so ask them to lower the setting. The tech was also missing so many details like particles on the nails when she was painting them, also she was leaving areas deformed with sharp sides. The environment was not good at all. The salon was going to be closed down due to sales being low and people not going there but the owner chose to sell it to someone else which made it go under new owner ,however the new owner isn’t changing anything at all which will make this salon close down eventually, just like it should of had. Language barrier is the other thing, a salon needs at least one person who is fluent in English otherwise it leads to misunderstandings but this salon doesn’t have a single person who can communicate properly. Pricing is Ridiculous! Nowhere in the menu does it say that prices for designs depend on the tech, so if the tech thinks is a difficult design they will charge you $200!! For just the design!! Insane right!!!??? I literally had to pull out my designs and showed her each one and she gave me different prices but all $150 and up. The tech couldn’t even draw simple straight lines and yet she was charging $200 for one of my designs! A little girl got her pedi done and she got charged $70!!!! Are you serious??? For a freaking child! That’s abusing! The little girls mom was mad about the price for her daughter’s pedi and the mom said she would just go somewhere else for her nails. Last but not least, the photos that they have on their social media profiles are fake, they don’t do those nails there. And some photos are from when they started which was under the old owner the good techs they had left which is how the salon ended up having techs that are beginners. If you look at yelp and google you will realize that nothing adds up, some of their reviews are from their own employees to try and mask the true reviews. DO YOUR RESEARCH LADIES! OVERALL AVOID THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU LIKE PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU
