I would give them zero stars. Not 1 out of 10 of my nails in acceptable, all there regular nail polished seemed to be old and thick (which means it took 35 min for my nails to dry enough to leave).

It is the worst nail salon ever. the place and the equipment are new, but the service is really bad. Girls are very loud, eating while working and talking to each other, even from a distance. job done was sloppy. VERY EXPENSIVE for the lousy service offered. i wouldn't give even one star, but i had to do so to be able to post. Read Less

My favorite nail salon for over twelve years. Love the handy new location near Whole Foods. I certainly do not understand or agree with the negative reviews! The staff is professional, friendly, and very good at what they do. I love Mai’s leg massages and excellent pedicures. Christine is my nail artist of choice: she does my acrylics, gel color and very cute nail designs. The owner, Diane, could not be nicer or more helpful. I won’t go anywhere else. Read Less

Got my nails done here for the first time the other day. I have been wanting to try this place for some time now as it always seems busy and is so conveniently located. I arrived a little late but the woman who did my pedicure was awesome I would definitely have her again. My nails came out ok. I would definitely go back but request the woman who did my toes to also do my nails and tip her double. Read Less

I was really nervous about going here after reading so many bad reviews. They took two walk-ins no problem and within minutes we were sitting in some chairs. The chairs were brand new and the place seemed clean. We got two pedicures ($30 each) which were awesome! They used nice new (rough) scrub pads for the bottoms of the feet, orange exfoliating scrub, some moisturizing oil, and ending with a hot stone massage. They did offer upgrades for $12 and came in different scents etc. All in all they were very nice or maybe I was getting the “nice treatment” because I recently had surgery and was still in some pain.

Terrible manicure!! I asked for clear polish, the lady put one single very thin coat of polish and told me I was done. The polish immediately peeled and turned orange. I am going back today to have it fixed. I don't want to waste another trip, but it's so bad I feel like I have to. Read Less

HORRIBLE!I've stopped going here for a number of reasons. Mainly because they're rude and do a horrible job. The last time I went here- which was about 4 days ago- is truly my last time. She rushed me around, my nails are ineven, and they're are soooo many bubbles in every single fingernail. Then asked is I was going to tip after! I shouldn't tip! Let alone pay... if you want a QUALITY manicure or full set don't go here. Read Less

I went to Magic Nails, located in the Del Monte Center in Monterey, CA in May 2014. I got the worst pedicure. The equipment and chemicals they use are not sterile. The woman who gave me the pedicure, scrubbed my feet until they were raw. I had to limp out of the store to my car. It was determined, after several dr.'s visits that they scrubbed my feet so deeply that they damaged a nerve in my foot. I have contacted Magic Nails, located in the Del Monte Center, several times to get a refund, at the very least, and they hang up on me. I have asked for their manager's name and address so that I could send them a letter and they won't give me this information. All in all, don't go to this crack shack unless you want to lose 10 fingers/toes on your hands and/or feet from being soaked in a cesspool of disease ridden water. If you do read this review and decide to go to Magic Nails, located in the Del Monte Center, I would suggest you contact Erin Brockovich afterwards as a class action lawsuit will soon be filed putting this disease ridden cesspool crack shack out of business.Read Less

I stopped in for a mani/pedi before I left on vacation. Even though the salon was quite busy, my pedicure lasted 45minutes and was WONDERFUL! My manicure was nice and very relaxing, but the paint was put on a bit thick and the whole thing started chipping and peeling in about a day. I don't think I'd return for a manicure, but I'd go back in a second for another pedicure. Read Less

I NEVER ever go to mall salons but my friend was going so I tagged along. I went in for pink and white and I saw a girl who looked friendly and non-pushy. this was the famous TAMMY! She did my pink and white SO carefully and made really sweet conversation. There was no pressure for extra charges and she took care of my nails like no other. I get comments every day about how nice they look and I go back to her every 2 weeks! She's great ... if you can get an appointment with her. (in my opinion) She's their best girl. The other staff give me the impression they've ""worked the beat"" a little too long. She's worth the wait so make an appointment with her. you won't be disappointed! Read Less
