If you are going to spend good money for your nails and want them to be done right, go to Boujee Nails and Spa instead! At Califoney nails you certainly DO NOT get what you pay for, they'll tell you they can do the nail art you want when they really can't, then treat you like dirt when you're paying top dollar for their caca service. Back in August I went in and they had a really talented tech/artist (I forget her name), she did a great job, was patient and kind. Assuming they could pull off nail art, I showed her a pic of a set I wanted for an October wedding I am going to. The design involves lots of charms and she told me they could do it but I would have to bring in the supplies because they didn't have everything needed for the design. Fast forward to today (10/14/23), I walk in to get the design I want and brought all the charms, snakeskin foil and gem stones needed for the design. I told them that one of their nail techs told me they could do my design if I brought the supplies and asked again if they could still do it, they said yes. I was directed to sit at table 2, so I did. I do not know what the woman's name is, but she is RUDE and a terrible nail tech. We pick out the base colors, and she starts to remove my old set. I told her that I would like coffin shape and that I DO NOT like thick acrylic nails. So, what does she do? She literally GLOBS acrylic on my nails! When she is done with the acrylic part, she starts in on the gel polish. Again a complete disaster, didn't actually have the gel colors and metalic powder we had already picked out, so I had to waste time picking alternatives. She slaps the colors on haphazardly and now it's time for design. Did I mention she told me that my nails were going to cost $150 because they would take her a long time, and then had the audacity to get up and go outside to chit chat with another customer! I looked at the owner and said "I hope she's not charging me for her to stand outside and talk, cause she told me the price of my nails is dependent on the time it takes", so he waved her back in. Back to design, she told me to pick out the charms for her so I start picking out the charms needed. Abruptly, she gets angry with me and tells me to pack everything up and leave because my nails are taking too long, she doesn't have time for me, doesn't want to do my nails anymore and no one else does either. She told me it's already taken her 2 hours to put nails on and color. I was confused about why she just went bipolar on me and said "it's not my fault it took you that long just to do that" and "I was told by an employee here I could get this design if I brought all the supplies". She continued to berate me for no reason, like I was the problem and told me I owe $70. I said "Excuse me but my nails are half done and they look like sh*t. Aren't you going to at least clean up all the powder and foil left on my skin?" To which she replied, "you can just go wash your hands". I told her "I'm paying for a service, and you did not provide the service, so I'm not paying $70, I will pay you $60". I get up, go wash my hands and head to the check out counter. This troll had the nerve to charge $70 anyway, when my nails were chunky, lumpy, uneven, the wrong shape and half done. I refused to sign the merchant copy, asked for my card back and she would not give me my card back till I signed. So I put an X on the line, then took my card back. She yelled at me that they have a camera, and to never come back. I laughed at her, told her there must be something wrong with her if she thinks I would ever come back and that I don't give a sh*t about their camera. I immediately walked out and went to Boujee nails, where they treated me kindly and graciously fixed my nail emergency. The wonderful tech who helped me made me feel welcome and felt so bad for me about my experience at California nails. She literally laughed at the troll's work because it was so bad and said "dont worry girl, I'll fix you up!" & she did! HUGE shout out to the HIGHLY SKILLED nail artists at Boujee nails for being so awesome, kind and treating paying customers so well! The tech's at California nails are hacks and charge top dollar for bottom barrel work...a bunch of phonies Read Less
