I went in to have acrylics put on, and I was the only customer there when I went in. A lady started working on my nails (scuffing them up), when another customer came in and also asked for acrylics. The lady working on my nails turned to me and said “I’m going to do her nails first, then yours.” This other customer did not have an appointment (neither did I) but how are you going to tell me you’re going to do someone else’s nails first, when they came in after me? When I asked why, all the lady would say is that she will do mine after. I told her I would just leave then and go somewhere else, and she continued to say she would do mine after. Long story short, I left with scuffed up nails, and will not be returning to this “nail salon.” Read Less

I love it here...the owner is such a sweetheart! She takes great care of me, and my acrylic nails last for 3.5 weeks!

Don't go here!!!! I brought 2 girls to have a pleasant, relaxing experience. The ladies doing their nails simply refused to listen to the girls. One girl said she couldn't have lotion, but the lady, after repeated pleas from the girl, used lotion anyway. The other lady was downright mean and so rough, also not listening that she was hurting her, had to be stopped by someone else stepping in. The polish chipped off the next morning. One of the worst experiences. Read Less

After two and a half hours, mostly spent waiting and being tended to in increments, I left with the worst set of nails I've ever seen. Two Polish changes because of the rush job done, and my hands are embarrassing. The nails aren't semetrical, are horribly messy, and my young child could do better with a Polish. I'll be going somewhere else this afternoon to have them fix the horrible job done today. Will never come back. Read Less

I would not recommend this place. Their phone may ring off the hook for business, but their customer service skills are awful. Without waiting in line we were there for one hour and twenty minutes getting a fill in and color. The lady beside couldn't make up her mind and I suggested to do one of each and pay the difference. So she could see which one she liked. The lady doing the nails yelled, NO! I not do that for you. This place wasn't the cleanest and was very slow service. Even when your a not a regular customer, you could be treated like a local. Linda if that is her real name is RUDE. Read Less

Ok I'm not sure how this place received more than 1 star. 1st mistake on my visit, I'm getting a toe nail polish change and as the lady is putting remover on the cotton, she's letting the liquid run allllll over my feet, so now I'm freezing  I've literally NEVER experienced that. When I first got in, she asked me to pick a color, I clearly said "just white all over" but she began doing French tips. When I corrected her, she had the audacity to smack her teeth and then yell at me. "Why didn't you say that the first time?! You said tips" excuse me mam, I never said tips, I said white all over. She proceeds to paint over the work she's already done and so now you can see the tips underneath. I can tell she was angry because she made paint mistakes ON my feet. Then she angrily demands me to slide up in the chair. So now it's time to dry. She takes me to a waiting chair and places a small fan in front of my feet. I have never seen anything like this in my life! I'm used to sitting at a table with the dryer underneath. I'm from Richmond, so maybe you guys down here in Lynchburg just do things different but i wouldn't take my dog here. Service was horrible, the lady was very nasty. I can tell she felt bad because she kept coming over to me trying to fix it by doing little stuff here and there to clean my feet up. So, I felt like I was in HER way. Read Less

Initially, I thought the $25 pedicure was ok, but the polish didn't last a week.  Terrible!  Avoid!  Run away!

Mine hasn't lasted a week.  The lady who did my pedi was professional and nice. My mom had a man who hurt her and didn't speak enough English to have her correct what was wrong.  I understand minimal English... But "none" is not acceptable in a service business. We had the feeling he was saying nasty things by his tone and attitude. May not have been... But not conducive to a relaxing atmosphere.I would not return. Read Less

I have been to many nail salons in town, including the most popular. California Nails is by far the best when it comes to pedicures. The deluxe pedicure is my favorite and it's so relaxing. The girls spend way more time on massage than anywhere else. So much so that you wonder if they've forgotten about your other leg sometimes :). They just got new chairs, too which is nice. No matter where I go, I always come back here! Read Less
