They don't paint the entire nail but overall I was still happy to be pampered. They also don't ask how short you want your nails but ask the shape. They do get you in quickly I didn't have to wait at all. Everyone is very nice and the place is very clean. Read Less

My friend and I went to get our nails done. When the lady finished with her nails she said "37 with a 5 dollar tip" my friend didn't understand her very well and accidentally gave her an extra $5. They worker should've said something about over paying but she didn't. Also she shouldn't have mentioned that we had to give them a tip. I've been here many times before without this happening. The other times super good highly recommend but this time was weird. Read Less

We pulled into town for a family event and looked on Yelp for a nail salon. They got both of us in right away. The services were great and everyone was super friendly. Plus the salon was very clean. I highly recommend! Read Less

I am a licensed cosmetologist (so I tend to be picky) and not only does this place go above and beyond to ensure the health and safety of each client but they're also so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I love the products they use as well because I need my nails to last. I definitely recommend this place. Read Less

I've been to lots of manicure/ pedicure places and even some have given me toenail fungal infections which have taken years of treatment to get rid of.  I went to Magic Nail Salon for a pedicure and I had not had a pedicure in years, so my feet were dry and cracked and needed some attention. I received the Magical Pedicure which was $37.00. It was expensive but the best pedicure I had received in years. Afterward my feet were completely smooth and not a single crack in my heals thanks to their callus treatment! I would highly recommend Magic Nail Salon. Read Less

Moving is a real pain. You have to find everything you already had - but in another state. This is the third nail salon I've tried. PROS:- Salon is CLEAN- Pedicure chairs look NEW- Massage and other "extras" were nice- Did a GREAT job of removing my last gel manicure (no filing - just wrapped them, and it scraped right off)- Started my fingers while my toes were being done (I know it's supposed to be relaxing, and not rushed, but I don't have 2 and a half hours for a mani/pedi, so I was thankful)CONS:- I understand they can't use a metal foot file here in CA, but for an extra $5 for callous removal, I expect them to do more than what other salons do without the up-charge. - Gel manicure was expensive. $27 for a color, $32 for French. - I had to ask to have my cuticles trimmed, and even when I did, Michael barely cut anything - only the very edges of ones that were already ripped or torn, and only where I showed him. - Nina cut one of my big toenails on an angle, and then dabbed polish on, without ever brushing to smooth it out. Polish doesn't come all the way to my cuticles, so edge is uneven, and there's so much polish on, I don't know if they're ever going to dry. This is the third salon I've tried. I haven't been able to get a gel manicure to last even two weeks. In Texas, they used to last for three, so I don't know what's different out here. If it's been two weeks, and I haven't updated the review, assume that the gel is still on my nails.... Read Less

I don't want to speak poorly about the two guys who work here but if it wasn't for them I'm SURE this salon would have shut down a long time ago. The woman who answers the phones and works up front is so rude. I have been looked up and down and turned away several times because "it was too busy" yet there were open available seats. And when I went in for a nail repair after a FRESH SET only two days before she very rudely replied I can make an appointment and come later. So many other nail salons in the area- avoid this one just because she's so awful to work with Read Less

Tried this place out after the place I normally go to couldn't take me today. Glad I did! Tasteful, peaceful decor. Organized. Price was comparable to my normal place (only $1 more.) Went for a gel manicure and the nail tech was very thorough. They took me immediately, even though I didn't have an appointment. Word to the wise: they only accept cash tips. I think this place may be my new "normal" nail place, but will wait to see how well the manicure holds up before I decide for sure. Read Less

I have never been to a more sanitary salon, from the atmosphere down to the techs. My tech was meticulous in cutting my cuticles and making sure the shellac polish was perfect on my nails and not on my fingers. The hand massage at the end was amazing. For $27 I feel that these will last awhile. I will definitely go back. Read Less

Wow this place is great! Best peticure I've ever experienced. Very relaxing and we'll done. This is a very clean and friendly salon. The chairs are clean and luxurious. My wife and I had an appointment and everything was ready to go for us when we got here. I don't get peticure often but next time it will be here again I was impressed. Read Less

Best pedicure in ages.i had avoided going because I would end up squirming from the tickling and angry because my daughters were being massaged long after my entire pedicure was done.i was paying the same as they but getting the quickie..yes my legs are fatter,  but I'm the one oaying..I just got so frustrated I would buy the Johnsons foot soak and do it myself.Today my daughter took me into this new place and wow...Nina shows no discrnation.  She massaged and did such a great job.i can't say enough.she spent about 20 min or more.on me.my daughters were happy too.i think the owner allows them to spend time which means repeat business.go there.you will love it.

Really wish I could leave a better review, but I had a horrible experience here. Was told that a pedi would cost $20 - couldn't beat that! The man who clipped and painted my toes did a horrible beginners job on my French pedi. White lines were crooked and clipped my toenails crooked too. Then asked if he could charge my card for $20 - I said of course! Got the receipt back and he charged me $30! I asked him why he charged me an additional $10 dollars and he said that was his tip! REALLY?! I asked him to refund me back $10 and he wouldn't do so! Never coming back here again! Read Less

I've been to a lot of nail salons and I am actually not from Modesto for I am based in SF Bay Area, but I felt the need to leave a great review for Magic Nails even posted pics for them as they didn't have much up. This place has been the nicest, cleanest, spacious and most appealing nail salon I have ever been to. You see I have a slight OCD - a clean freak perhaps and so you can understand why I'm overjoyed to have been able to find a very clean and tidy nail salon in the town of Modesto. A big plus is that both their bathrooms, yes I said both as they actually have two bathrooms one with handicap access are both so clean and up to date with it's chic style. All their technicians were kind and hospitable, it seemed to me that this place has grown to be like a family to most of their valued customers. But even then as a new comer I was graciously serviced by Andy for my pedicure and my mani was done by the owner herself, Songkhla! She was superb and very accommodating as she was able to squeeze me in her busy schedule.I honestly can't say anything negative about this place but just wanted to pre-warn possible clients out there who's looking to find the best nail spa in the town of Modesto, don't look any further but definitely come here and make sure to set-up an appointment as they are always busy, I wouldn't call that a bad thing, because they all must be coming back for a reason, right? If only I could give them more than 5 stars, I would have! Can't wait until I'm back in Modesto to get my nails done again, definitely #1 nail salon for me.. Read Less

The best nail salon I've ever gone to. I absolutely love this place! Every single worker is polite, very friendly, and always remembers my name and asks how my family is doing. Great prices, great customer service, always a great experience. Read Less

I had the absolute hands down best shellac manicure here with Amber. I have had regular shellac manicures for a couple of years now and have gone to several different places in the Modesto/Riverbank area. I can honestly say Amber did the best manicure. I will be returning and I will be making an appointment with her. I highly recommend. The staff is very nice and the shop is very clean. Read Less
