Magic Nails II

I put one star because in order to write a review I need one. This place is ridiculous. Not friendly, my nails were super quickly done and im an animal lover so i showed the lady a picture of what i wanted which was a paw print and a heart… She said since i wanted my nails so short there was no room to do that… Both my mom and i are like wtf? U dont have to make it huge. Anyway i let her TRY and do just the oaw print, it was hideous i couldnt tell you what she actually put on my nail so i had her do the color and that was it! Nails didnt last even 2 weeks and im a nail biter. Well my cuticles werent even touched!!! They didnt clean it up or anything! I wish i had a picture. I was embarrassed all i can say is i liked the color. Don’t go here! It was convenient for me and thats it!

This place is ridiculous, they DO NOT know how to do nails. I went in on a Friday to get my nails done and by Saturday night my nails was chipping and breaking on the tip of more then one nail. NEVER will you have to worry about getting my service EVER again!

My nails were filed very roughly, both with the motorized filer and regular filer. To the point where the skin around my nails bled because it got sliced by the motorized one. I knew I was going to have a bad experience the second the lady who did my nails started viciously filing away, chatting away, all while HARDLY even looking at my nails. I showed her a photo of how I got my nails done last time (at another salon) and she, again, HARDLY looked at it so that my nails did not turn out the shape I wanted them to be – in fact, some of my nails are so crooked and off that they are not even normal-​looking in shape! They are so uneven in every possible way! But most importantly, the most alarming thing about this place is that they left my nails and fingers IN PAIN. No nail job I have ever gotten anywhere else has ever left my nail beds bruised and my cuticles missing a good chunk just for the sake of having fresh nails that are, by the way, POORLY DONE AND SO FAR FROM AESTHETICALLY PLEASING.
Never returning here. Not sorry that I’m exposing this nail shop for the inconsiderate service that it gives.

This place is clean customer service is ok! They ask a million times if you want another service other than what you went in for! They have 20.00 pedi and that’s all it’s worth! If you pay with a card take cash for tip!

I came to Solano Mall with my family and hoped to find a nail salon because my nails were in desperate need of a manicure (3 weeks of acrylics killed them). Luckily I found Magic Nails II. I came in only wanting a manicure but decided to get both a mani/​pedi because why not? lol.
A woman did my toenails (I didn’t catch her name) and a man named Dee did my fingernails. They were both very nice people, however, I thought my pedicure was better than my manicure. The lady took her time cleaning and shaping my nails, plus she gave me a bomb foot massage. On the other hand, my fingernails weren’t shaped well and the polish was painted on sloppily. Good thing they were nice enough to clean it up for me after drying them.
I don’t think I’ll return for two reasons: it’s not close to where I live and my local nail salons could do a better job with a cheaper price.

Don’t see what all the fuss is about. I’ve a customer with them for years. Don’t get the new nail techs honours fo their licences. Ask the owners Tim and Tina and don’t be afraid to ask for one of the veteran clerk’s. And tell them what you don’t like annd stuff. They all speak broken English but they understand when you tell them something.

This nail salon is small, dirty and over charged me. I called and went back and tried to show Atina or whatever her name is that my card was over charged $ 20. She kept saying I didnt come in on Tuesday for the $ 22 acrylic special when clearly on my bank statement it shows I was there on Tuesday March 31. All I wanted was the money back or a $ 20 credit to use next time I go. Well I will never be going back. Also the guy who did my nails cut my knuckle with the cuticle scissors, by accident of course, but he didn’t even say sorry or are you ok as I was bleeding on the nail table.

I don’t know about any of the other nail techs at this salon but I had a GREAT experience yesterday with the younger guy (in his 20’s). I came in for a fill on my acrylic & french gel polish. He was really gentle and did a great job on my nails! He sits in the back on the left by the pedicure spa chairs. From what I know he is only there on fri/​sat. So if I ever need my nails done at the mall again, I will only make sute to go to him

My friend and I went to the mall today and decided or get our nails done. The other salon was packed, so I suggested we try this place out.
(I probably should’ve read a few reviews before walking in.)
Well anyway… we walked in and we’re greeted and asked what we needed, we asked for 2 full sets and were told to choose our color. My friend wanted French tip and I chose a color.
We should have probably walked out after we were seated and saw how dirty it was… but we didn’t and that’s our fault…
The lady who started doing my nails began applying the tips. She seemed to be struggling when finding the right size and when she glued them on they didn’t seem to stay on. Ok, she finally got the tips on, and asked how short I wanted them. I told her I wanted them short and she began to cut… she asked if I was Ok and I asked if I could get them shorter… she grabbed the scissors and cut a little more and said they would be shorter after they were filed…
All of a sudden a different lady came up to me and told me to sit at her station. I got up, moved to her station, and she began filling my nails… after she had finished filling my nails she said she’d be right back… I waited for about 10 minutes and realized she had gone to start someone else’s nails… when she came back she apologized and began filing my nails, she ended up cutting my ring finger but she didn’t seem to care because she kept filing away, I had to pull my hand back a few times because my finger started to hurt… I asked if she could make them shorted because they were too long and she said she would file them… they didn’t seem to get any shorter after she had filed them so I let her know they were still too long. she gave me a bit of attitude and grabbed the drill to make them shorter… she finished filing, but on the oil, and told me to wash my hands… when I came back from washing my hands she said she’d be right back… she was gone for another 15 minutes while she was finishing someone else’s nails… When she finally came back to finish my nails I kept noticing the polish was uneven so I asked if she could paint the nail evenly… she had a bit of attitude but she did what I asked…
Overall my nails look decent, but they are not the size I wanted… their customer service is not the best… if you can go somewhere else, you probably should. I know I will not come back…

My daughter and niece came her for my niece’s birthday to get their nas done. (I’ve come here once before when my usual nail shop (MC Nails — Phil’s the best!!!) was closed. They did ok that time). Anywhoo, I wasn’t there, but when I saw my daughter she said look at my nails. The grey paint she chose was alright, it was a lil off the margins but ok they’re not Phil… So she says look at the design… It was a black uneven blob w a diamond on it. I said, is that what u asked for. She said no. I said did u pay for that she said yeah I said why and she said… The lady had an attitude First she didn’t ask the shape I wanted and when I told her no not that shape she start speaking Chinese or whatever her language was under her breath and was irritated and said you should have told me what shape you wanted then when she complained about the design and having to do it over she started with the language thing again. So my daughter whose disposition is not her mom’s by the way just said whatever and went on. Well, in the spirit of teaching my girl about self respect and problem resolution especially if you feel like you have paid for something you didn’t get what you expect and not letting people take advantage of you I took her back to the salon. I politely asked for the mgr. introduced myself and explained what happened. The nailtician who did my daughter’s nails was there and came over to us. The Manager, Tina, barely looked up to see the design or anything about my daughter’s nails. The woman who did her nails started again w the language. I said is this something you would want on your nails? Tina then looked up and said. What do you want??? What do you want done??? I was like she does not get it! Even after I told her about how rude her employee was and she is still doing the language thing and Tina didn’t even attempt to at least correct her on that! And was rude herself!!! I said I want it done over! She assigned another lady who seemed to be sympathetic to the situation and she took her time to do the nails over and did ok, but I will. Ever come here or have my family come here again. If MC Nails is closed, I’ll just have to go ‘ratchet the most’ until Phil can get me in. Never again will we come here!!! And of course I told my child, ask for a manager on the spot and never pay for something you’re not happy with again!

Serious hazard No Stars stay away and go elsewhere!
Came in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure
Cut me
rushed on my nails
bubbles started to appear
I told her to fix them didn’t want to started to talk in their language
They did a poor job they dont mention or advertise anywhere where it cost more for French tip typically gel manicures are 20 25 even 30 regardless if its French tip the cost remains the same
I noticed someone leaving after their pedicure the nail technician «cleaned» the chair with hand soap and a sponge yea no thanks This place is so dirty I just might call OSHA or the health dept
Next day nails are chipped and cracked or are peeling don’t waste your money or time

Since I had a bad experience with the other nail salon in the mall, I decided to stop by this salon (since I had a good experience here when I had my nails done in high school). Anyway, we were greeted and helped right away. The guy I had did a great job making sure the nails were the length I wanted and were even on both hands (unlike the other salon I last visited). He continued to do an excellent job UNTIL more customers walked in. After that, he began to rush things and became sloppy with his work so he could move on to the next client, even though there were other staff members available to work with the new walk-​ins. He painted my nails and forgot to clean up underneath the nails, where there was excess acrylic.
Although this nail salon is cheaper than the other, newer salon in the mall, I was a bit disappointed with the manicurist rushing his job with my nails to get to the next client. The nails still looked decent in the end, but the rushed experience just rubbed me the wrong way.

What is the fuss?
I normally avoid mall nail shops justbecauseIdontreallyfeelpamperedwhileatthemall, but I was first lured in by their relatively fair price. I was greeted immediately and got seated right away; there’s a lot of workers to accommodate to high volume of customers.
I got gel manicure and Amy made my nails look gorgeous. No complains here.

Never going here ever again… I got a mani/​pedi and I happened to have an old guy with glasses do my nails, I specifically asked for stilleto nails and even showed a picture and he did my nails wrong! I even said something and he cut them wrong again and gave me an attitude. He was very rough and I am highly unsatisfied. On top of that, he had the nerves to ask to pay up before putting on my nail color! This place sucks.

Before I discovered Unilocal,the last time I got my nails done at Magic Nails II was when I was an ignorant teen who could not tell the difference between manicure and pedicure. (Yes, sad but true. LOL.) The lady who worked on my acrylic french tip nails seemed impatient, and it seemed like she was talking smack about me in a different language. I guess it was because of my ignorance at the time, but help a sister out by educating her the difference between a mani and pedi! She has the license, it’s the least she could do! I remembered the place being packed and crowded back in those days, but let’s flash forward to three years later.
They remodeled the salon. There’s more room to move around, and it doesn’t seem as crowded as before. Also, the nail stations look a lot cleaner, and they improved sanitizing the shit out of their products they use on other people. As for customer service, the nail lady I had named Amy was a sweetheart. She’s one of those diamond in the rough type of Asian nail ladies that will actually interact with you and be personable. If she’s talking in her native language with her fellow co-​workers, she makes the effort to translate so I wouldn’t feel left out or uncomfortable. I really love how she was gentle cutting my cuticles. My skin is very sensitive, and she made sure I was comfortable every two to five minutes. However, I wished she was a little more attention to detail on things especially when brushing off the dust from my nails. It felt very rushed. I mean… If she’s taking off the pesky acrylics, she shouldn’t rush too much!
On the other hand, some of her co-​workers were being very pushy which is why I took off two stars. I don’t like feeling constantly interrogated every six to eight minutes whether or not I want a pedicure. I said no the first time! It was also a little weird to see one of the other workers put her feet on her chair and start cutting the crap out of her toe nails. To me, I would rather have it when they do those type of things on their own time not in front of the customer where toe nails are flying everywhere. X. x
As for terms of quality manicures and pedicures, this would be my last resort if my favorite and second favorite nail ladies weren’t available. Prices seemed reasonable there, but I would rather pay a few dollars more for someone who doesn’t rush with manicures and applying nail polish on.

I paid 30 dollars for a spa pedicure and they rushed my service and did not put lotion or mask on my feet. They only did my legs. I thought I was getting a spa pedicure not a leg pedicure. They did not take the time to get all the dead skin or really clean my feet. I can do better than they did

I decided to take my cousin for a manicure and since we were already at the mall, we decided to support this business since it didn’t look like they got a lot of business. Well, there’s a reason why people don’t go here! The staff was very nice, although the workers were sitting with their feet up on the chairs, watching tv. Once they noticed we were there, we were immediately greeted and put into chairs. One of the biggest things that shocked me was that they were EATING at the nail stations!

Most horrible job ever! The lady that did my eyebrows, took one of mine off. My nails are peeling. I spend $ 80 here and they won’t refund money. I called 3x and asked to speak a manager. They told me they dont speak English and hung up on me. I’m in the process now of reporting them to the bureau of cosmetology. I will get them shutdown

One Word can describe this place: DISGUSTING!!!
First of all, for the quality of work they do, they are a rip off! They keep trying to up sell you & you can never just feel comfortable and relaxed. I got my nails «gel» tip manicure done 2 days ago and they are already lifting. I paid $ 35 for what was supposed to be pink and white but when it came down to it and I asked them for the pink powder like they promised they tried to charge me $ 45! Heck no! There is NO WAY I would ever pay $ 45 at that dump to get my nails done… $ 35 was actually way too expensive!!!
They used SOILED tools on my hands… So gross! The guy didn’t even put top coat on one of my hands as well! NEVER GO TO THIS place unless you want nasty fungus hands/​toes. This place needs to be shut down!!!

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!!! Greedy Greedy Greedy People! Shame on you for running an operation like this. I had to take my wife to the ER because her nails were burning really bad after visiting this sweat shop! Come to find out that my wifes nails had a really nasty bacteria that she contracted from this place! Shame on Solano mall for letting a place like this operate, Shame on the city of Fairfield, and the state of California for giving these people a license!
