Fancy Nails

Judging is how long they last but pretty happy with results. Pedicure and a set of nails today. French tips. I loved the hot water for pedi. Warm water doesn’t do it for me Massage was excellent and they didn’t hurt me. That’s a plus. First post so I’ll try to add picture

My neighborhood nail salon, its conveinent and prices are decent!

Incredibly rude consumer service. They completely ignored me when I walked in. It going to be a one hour wait for acrylics. And I was the only one there… Also over priced.

Second time here. And this time, I have to admit I was expecting better craft.
I blamed last time’s bad mani-​pedi to sub-​par technique and old nail polish (sorry I didn’t take any pictures from last time). So this time I tried my best to choose the freshest-​looking bottle from their shelf.
Requested a mani-​pedi. Pedi was nicely done, with clean edges and even color application. The manicure, though it’s much better than when my last one here, could still use much improvement. It’s sad that while her polish application was nice and even, the edges that needed to be cleaned up more and the uneven top coat layer brought the quality down.
Oh well. I guess that’s all $ 30 could get me here. If schedule permits, I think I’ll go back to my usual place on the southwest area (and of course, pay a little bit more). In the meantime, I’ll have to keep coming back here and just wish that it’ll get better each time.

Please think twice about coming to get a cheap manicure. I live nearby and thought this would be a great place to get a quick mani and pedi in before picking my son up from school. I wish I had never stepped foot in this place. The women all looked annoyed when deciding who was going to do my services. It was so awkward, sitting there as they all talked amongst themselves. The man in the shop seemed to come over and argue with the lady doing my nails In another language. The worst part was that the woman who did my pedicure was removing my previously done gel pedi. She was using acetone soaked cotton, and a drill to get it off and she dropped the drill in acetone, which flew directly into one of my eyes! It was excruciating! And all they did was offer a wet cotton ball to me. I don’t know if these people know that acetone is an acid or not, but I could have sued them big time. When I wanted to get up and leave and just pay for my manicure they seemed offended I didn’t want to pay for the «pedicure». I paid for my manicure and got the heck out of there. Please don’t support such carelessness.

Had the best pedicure! Being 8 month pregnant I needed help and the nail lady was so nice! She gave a great massage and took her time with me. I will go back without a doubt!

Every time I call and make an appointment they are super busy and won’t make some room for a loyal customer. I called today to let them know I’m going to be running behind and I ended up having to cancel because they are «too busy.» I love Dan’s work but I don’t see me going back. I’ll find somewhere else to go now.

Fancy nails is a great value. They’re friendly, they don’t constantly try to upsell, and they treat my 3 year old daughter just as well as they treat me. :) There are nicer, higher-​end places to get your nails done, but for the value, this place is hard to beat.

It was okay for the price. However it would make the experience better if I didn’t have all 4 people who was working each switch to do my feet and hands. And they don’t talk to you much just each other. It was cheap and they did a good job especial on my feet since I brought the design in.

I will never go here again. You’d expect a nail salon to live up to its name and do good nails! Wrong! My gel manicure is a mess without attention to details and the sides of my nails half painted. When I pointed out an uneven painting, she didn’t care to fix it and proceeded to charge me. I’ve given them two chances hoping this visit might be better than my first but I’m sorry that I did. Learned my lesson for sure this time.

Worst job I’ve had my nails done at. When I called in and asked how much for a mani/​pedi, I was told $ 30. Well since they knew I was new there, I’m not sure if they do this to anyone else, but they decided to raise the price to $ 40, because I got designs. I was upset because they didn’t tell me that when I asked them for the designs, otherwise I would have kept it simple. The employees there spoke in a different language. Chinese I suppose. That’s when they all decided on that new price. They seem to talk a lot about the customers in Chinese, because they know that we won’t understand what they are saying. Completely unsatisfied! I will never come here again!

This is a great place to get your nails done. They take the time to care for you and make sure leave with a nice new paint job. Will definitely return and recommend going early because sometimes it is crowded, as any good business would be.

Great nail salon! They really take their time and do a good job. I walked in a quarter till closing and still got fantastic service. In fact, so great that I went back the next day for shellac on my nails with a mani. I got a pedicure the night before. Lily, is super sweet and does a fabulous job but I’ve seen the other people’s work and it’s all good. Oh did I mention it’s cheap too! Love it!

Clean, quite & courteous. Just had a mani-​pedi done & so glad I found a good neighborhood nail salon. A regular maincure is $ 10! I will be going back!

I just had an overall luke warm experence at this shop. For all of the locations in Bakersfield that offer compairable or even more extensive services, the options only get better from here. The staff was not particularly friendly, presenting a front that was more annoyed than happy to see business. They sat us down and immmediatly turned up the TV and started talking to each other and ignoring us. The chairs and facilities were old and uncomfortable, and the services met only the minimum expections outlined in the description. The price was resonable, but not lower than other shops in town with better service.

True to its name, the only thing in this shop that’s fancy is the nails! This salon does great manicures and pedicures with no frills and no nonsense.
The shop itself is clean and well kept. The manicurists are well mannered and super efficient. They might not engage in chit chat but, they’re serious when it comes to your polish job. They know exactly how many coats of polish it takes to make make the polish job last as long as possible. I’ve had botched polish jobs where too many coats were applied, which lead to chipping and peeling in a day or two. I’ve never had this problem at this shop. My french tips on natural nails always last two weeks!

Clean… reasonable prices… and always a friendly staff! I love that they don’t try to push extra services on you!
