Fresher Nails

Went here a few months ago and had a good experience. However they are NOT open on Sundays in spite of what Unilocal says.

Got a gel manicure for graduation and the job was poorly done. Gel polish got on my skin on many nails and there were small patches on some nails where there was no polish. A sloppy job and they began peeling the day I got them. Then I went in to get them taken off and not only did they charge $ 10 (absurd — everywhere else I’ve been charges $ 5) but they left patches of polish all over. I get it’s an annoying task, but I now have to go home and try to get them looking decent for work because leaving them patchy like this doesn’t look good. I won’t be coming back.

The kind of place, you have to go home and fix them yourself. Went in for a fill. Left with my natural nails protruding from each side. Wanting to just take the nails off.

Was in town for the day had to get gel french and pedicure they were fast and did a great job. Their techniques were a little different than several other salons I go to in my area but other than that it was great and prices are good I would go again for sure

I go here to get my eyebrows/​lips waxed and am consistently impressed. She always gets it right and the price is unbeatable — $ 20 for lips and eyebrows.

I just had the best pedicure I have ever had. Very nice people, they’re fast and very detailed. Plenty of magazines relaxing atmosphere with massage chairs and a tv. It was only 22 $ for a basic pedi and it includes massage and exfoliation.

Went in looked at their price sheet, fair prices. I wanted a half leg wax and tell the lady. She’s asks if I can wait for her to call someone. I told her I’m kinda in a hurry I have work in about an hour. She’s talking to someone on the phone while doing another ladies nails– she then comes over to me and tells me I should go across the street, because that’s where the lady who does her waxing is at. Ummm ok? Weird.

I arrived 45 minutes early for my appointment thinking I was going to have to wait, but they had no problem squeezing me in right away. Super friendly staff. I had a French pedicure and a regular manicure totaling $ 39 for both. They charge an additional $ 5 for a French manicure or pedicure.
The man who helped me was so detailed and meticulous. He was definitely a perfectionist. At one point he accidentally dropped one of my towels on the floor; he quickly discarded it and brought me a new, clean towel. He rubbed and massaged my feet, legs, arms and hands for just the right amount of time and with just the right amount of pressure. It was so relaxing! .
I am definitely coming back next time I am in San Luis Obispo!

Heard good reviews about this salon and decided to try it out. Had a very good experience they were in no rush and took time on both my pedicure and gel manicure and the results look great although when she was cutting my nails she cut my pinky too short so it started to bleed but other than that great experience and i recommend this place to anyone who wants a good pedi or mani for a decent price!

I was very disappointed in the service and quality of this salon. I walked-​in for an eyebrow wax and walked out with part of my eyebrow burned. The wax was too hot, and now one inch under my eyebrow is burned. I will not be coming back here anytime soon. It is better to go elsewhere for waxing, a place where the employees know what they are doing.

They were so nice and considerate about our time limit and did our nails perfectly! Whether you want a simple manicure or getting an acrylic set they have it all! Definitely a great place to get your nails done and very inexpensive! Bottom line I would recommend them to everyone!

I decided to try this place upon a friends review she never said it was the best but id agree upon going here to get a gel manicure done that it is in a convienent locatation and by far the most resonably priced in San Luis Obispo. The staff was friendly however they were out of so many color and not a great selection to choose from and finally when. one was chosen it was old. No hand massage was given and to have cuticles cut was extra. I will not return here.

I never leave bad reviews, but this was really not acceptable. I made an appointment the day before for shellac nails on my wedding day. Granted, my nails were a little scuffed up, but they could have been buffed out. Long story short the polish was super spotty and mottled. When I complained she added more and more coats– so much so that the polish was literally seeping onto the sides of my fingers. She just told me not to worry as «it would come off in the shower».
Ridiculous. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to come back later to get this repaired.

This review is for eyebrow wax only.
I looked these guys up on Unilocal,saw they had pretty good reviews and reasonable prices (unlike most salons in SLO) so I decided to give them a try.
Pro:
–open till 7:30 on a weeknight. since Unilocal hours said 6:30, this was pretty exciting.
–The lady gave my eyebrows a fantastic shape. They really looked great for my face.
–$ 12 for a wax. typical for a nail salon, but pretty good for SLO.
Con:
–Although the brows looked great, the next day I noticed quite a few smaller hairs around the eyebrows that she should have noticed and attended to.
–She didn’t do any cooling/​soothing treatment or anything on my brows after waxing. Just rubbed them with wax removal and then let me leave with a flaming red forehead and burning eyebrows.

My daughter and I used to go there when she was in college. On a recent visit to SLO I suggested I treat us to a mani pedi here. Was so sorry to see that the salon had been sold. The previous owners were so warm and friendly. My pedicure was okay, but no one here even speaks to you. And the staff spent a lot of time checking texts on their phones. I would NOT return here

Great place for a pedicure!
Best part? Getting a back massage (they’ve got nice massaging chairs) while your feet are soaking. I’m used to salons where all they do is bring out a heated tub with bath salts to soak your feet. They’ve actually got plumbed tubs with built-​in jets! Ahhhh… My feet were in heaven!
Also mention if you’re a student… They’ll give you a nice little discount.

Very friendly environment. I also like the fact there is a student discount! I got french tip nails and absolutely loved them. She did a fabulous job and the nails held up well. Next time I will get a fill because my nails lasted a long time before breaking off.

Review is for manicure only
First time I went here I got a pretty good manicure– nails were cut at the right length and evenly, filed/​buffed nicely and good clean up and it lasted for awhile. However, the second time around I got, if I can say, a pretty crappy mani. My nails were cut unevenly and weren’t filed/​buffed enough, and the polish was applied in a sloppy fashion, I actually ended up removing the polish afterwards because of this (which was disappointing because I brought in some Deborah Lippmann polish and that stuff isn’t cheap), a few days later I also had two painful hangnails (due to bad cutting, not to lack of sterile tools). The first time I went there I had my nails done by a guy (don’t know his name) second time by a woman (don’t remember her name). I think it’s the only guy who works there though.
The place its self IS clean and so are the tools– the staff is very helpful and qualified. I think the main problem with my second mani is that the woman wasn’t trained properly or new? Due to them being nice and giving good hand/​arm massages I’m willing to give them another chance.

My nails were peeling and I went in to the shop to see if they could fix them. While I was frustrated that my nails were peeling early, their attitude and friendliness when fixing the problem has made me a huge fan. Jenny, was very helpful and great with my nails, and I even opted for a brow wax which I normally only have done at a Benefit Brow Bar. Jenny (sp?) did a great job. they were exactly what I wanted. I am happy to say that despite a small hiccup at first I am now a devote and loyal customer– due to their amazing customer service. They even stayed late to make sure I was satisfied.

Just got a pedicure and a gel manicure at this place. Good value, friendly service. The polish got just a little heavy on the corner of two fingernails, so not perfect, but still looks great. The nail technician advised me that although they could certainly do a gel pedicure as well, a regular pedicure is a better value since it lasts just as long — very cool. I’ll definitely be back here.
