Clean, sort-of-new, friendly, and skilled. The salon was pretty busy when I arrived Sunday afternoon, but I was sat immediately. They had the perfect amount of staff on hand. I did not get her name, but she gave me a great pedicure. She was meticulous when it came to my toes looking perfect. The staff as a whole was friendly and made me feel welcome. Read Less

I went for a gel manicure to this pathetic place. The lady put the gel on so thick when she wiped it off, it was still wet. She went to pull it off and pulled a section of my nail bed up and my toe was bleeding. The most horrific experience. Another employee came over and took the gel polish off and put acrylic on. They charged me full price and couldn’t even apologize. I will NEVER go back here. BEWARE Read Less

The service was rushed and they used poor quality top coat polish that bubbled so bad I had to go back to get my toe nails fixed. When I went back they would not refund me, they would only re-do the nail polish. Again the service was so rushed he cut my cuticle from filing so hard and not paying attn. to what he was doing. The gentlemen looks more at the door than at your feet! And although the polish didn't bubble the gentlemen that did my nails didn't put the polish on thick enough so you can see streaks and he didn't get the entire nail on several of my toes. The polish also chipped after two days. Regular polish usually lasts up to two weeks on my toe nails. Also, several people came in both times I was there with appointments and they do not keep track of appointments, so don't even bother, just walk in. Also, it is very dirty! They use new liners in the foot spas but they use the same tools (clippers, cuticle cutters, nail files, and pumice stones) on everyone without disinfecting. They make you walk barefoot to the dryer station, instead putting your flip flops on before they polish. The gentleman used a disgusting brush that he keeps in a spam can on my feet and legs. Needless to say, I will never go back to this place. I can do a better job myself or I'd rather wait longer at CA nails on the other side of Santa Fe. Read Less

This is a very unclean and unprofessional salon. Three things happened to us 1) cuticle clipped on two fingers and caused bleeding 2) I watched as they put dirty nail clippers into plastic folder without cleaning them for the next customer and 3) they overcharged us and when asked for an itemized receipt would not give it. I asked two separate people the price and they each gave me different prices, which were also different than their sign on the front. Basically, I have red bloody cuticles, was overcharged & the next customer will have blood on the clippers. Disgusting and dirty. Read Less

I really appreciated that this salon didn't try to gouge us for mani/pedis like a few other places in Santa Fe. The ladies were very friendly as well.

It’s nice looking enough but that’s where the good news ends. They were busy but the woman doing my mani/pedi was so put out is was as if I had invaded her living room on a Sunday afternoon not a place a business. The manicure was basically a polish change after leaving me soaking in acetone for over 20 min. The pedicure was bit better but still rushed and subpar. After a two hour lack luster experience, I didn’t see them clean one tool. They grabbed from each other’s station and used it on the next person. Remnants were all over the floor and clients walked around barefoot. Won’t be back even if I had a gift certificate. Read Less

I just had a manicure, i let my nails grow up for a nice french manicure.Unfortunately the women who take care of me didn't speak english and she file my nails horrible and skinny tip. Horrible horrible!!So then to try to make them look square again she have to file more and more and finally my nails look like school girl, short and ugly. I think i had once before a manicure but never ruin like today.Also she file too much and damaged all my nail on top. She charge for all that 18.50 Read Less

It's true that your experience depends on who assists you; however I find the end result to be the same - a pedicure that lasts.   I've been a customer for over a year.

Terrible. Went in for a basic manicure and pedicure. My nails were cut so short, the nail doesn't even touch when I put my finger against a surface. And, they're crooked. The polish was put all the way to the edges and onto the cuticle. They spent over 30 minutes trying to use a little brush and nailpolish remover to get the edges cleaned up. And, I still have my old nailpolish smeared all over my fingers! I don't know how the pedicure would be... I walked out. Luckily there is a Sally Beauty right across. So, I went in and bought nailpolish remover, top & base coats, and I'll go home and do my own nails. Do NOT go to this place. TERRIBLE. Read Less
