I was a walk in for pedicure, they were able to fit me in. Annie was my nail lady, she is friendly and talented. I would go back.

Love Cali nails! Staff are professional and friendly. My first visit lasted nearly an hour and a half, due to the shoddy work of the previous nail salon I went to.

The staff speaks to each other--and not to you-- in another language you do not understand while one is working on your nails. No attempt at polite interaction. This practice is rude and alienating.

No many ANC choices, not the most talkative and friendliest people. Nails were bumpy and not looking good.

Relaxing, and takes walk-ins.I just moved from FL where every nail salon in Tampa Bay accepts walk-ins. After moving here three weeks ago, I went to three different nail salons and all of them required an appointment for a basic manicure and pedicure. I had almost resorted to going to a mall nail bar (no offense, I just don't like going to the mall for anything), when I turned a corner on a road I was running errands on and saw Cali. Despite the low reviews here, I took a chance on them because I was in the area and it's close to where I live. The door was open when I walked in, which made for easy breathing inside the salon even though a customer was getting a fill at the first station behind the front desk.  They also had the back door open to create a refreshing cross-breeze in the space and I detected a hint of incense, which was nice and not overwhelming at all. I could tell that the space itself was designed for "calm". The tawny color scheme on the walls, ceiling and chair upholstery are accented with black furniture pieces, a large tank filled with just a handful of orange fish, and well-placed artwork and vases. I immediately felt relaxed.The waiting area is off to the far right corner of the room so as not to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of the pedicure station that's set off to the far left by columns. This area of the salon is a dream. It's set back (almost hidden out of view from the main part of the salon). Oscillating fans hang high on the wall and create the feeling of a sea-breeze. The message chairs are soft and cozy, unlike some of the uncomfortably hard chairs I've had the misfortune of sitting in at other salons (the kind where the massaging implement is practically bursting through the seat and into your spine).  Light amber pendants hang over each chair's foot rest to provide technicians with additional working light and customers with a soothing glow in an otherwise purposefully darkened environment. A flat screen TV hangs on the back wall in the corner; during my visit it was at the perfect volume -- not screaming, yet loud enough for anyone who wanted to tune in).My eyes (and my spirit) welcomed this change from the mall-variety of large rooms where everything is bright white and uninteresting. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the owner and one other person. I asked if they had time for a manicure and pedicure and they immediately answered "yes" and told me to pick out my colors. While I was looking at the colors on the wall, Annie approached me with a smile and pointed out my pedicure chair. She was fantastic.  She did a great job on both services and wasn't afraid to apply pressure during the foot massage. Both services cost me $35 plus $5 to remove the gel nail polish I came in with and $5 for extra callous removal.  The price seemed fair to me, and I walked away happy and relaxed. I'll be back for another visit. I'll bring my own polish, though, as their selection is limited. Read Less

Stopped in for a pedicure on a whim. Just driving in the area.  Was taken in right away.  Basic pedicure, no added extras. The girl who serviced me was very friendly and did a really nice job.  I have to commend her for the time she took to paint my nails,  and make sure they were clean and even. Only downside is the prices.. Too expensive for the basics. Nothing over the top to make it worth the high prices,  $27 for a basic pedicure (no add ons). Read Less

I could have done a better job myself. I do not recommend this salon at all and would never return again for any type of service.

Terrible customer service. I made appointments for my mother and I, half hour past the scheduled time I asked one of the workers if she knew my mother had an appointment. She said to me well they got here first so they're ahead of you. Do they not understand what appointments are!? Also the women who did my nails did a terrible job, left me with paint all over my fingers and some nails not even fully painted. Will never go back! Read Less

I went with a friend to get spa pedicures, we were led to the spa chairs right away. They started the water and left us for a while, my water was starting to get cold!  Good conversation made it bearable, otherwise I would have walked out. I'm worried that I will get ingrown toenails because of the way my nails were cut. The woman who did my pedicure didn't speak English very well, I asked about an add on service to remove rough skin (this winter has been brutal!!!) she said what color?  And proceeded with the painting. Usually spa employees are all about the upgrades, I was disappointed to say the least.  Overall I'd say the price was a bit high and the service was less than impressive.
