City Nails

This is such an amazing nail salon! If you go ask for Kim she is absolutely nice and amazing im really picky with acrylic nails but she did them exactly how i wanted them!

I have gone there since they opened but the last 6 months. My clients nails popped off within a week. This last week was only 4 days. When I told her she needed to fix them free, she refused charged full price. I will never go back. Since Sam left they don’t care.

This place was the worst place I’ve ever got my nails done at. I went here because pro nails (down the street) was to busy and I decided to try this place. I asked to get a gel manicure and she didn’t file my nails, push back my cuticles, lotion my hands, or do any of the basics for a manicure. I asked her if I was getting just a polish and not getting a full manicure because she didn’t do anything to my skin or nails besides paint them and she said that my nails were already good and I had no dead skin, which was completely untrue because I went to get a manicure because my nails and skin looked so poorly. Because I’m shy and didn’t speak up I just let her go and keep doing her thing and then after I looked at my nails even the French tips were bad. They were sideways and uneven and I learned to never go to this place again. If you go here I hope you get better service than I did.

I think I’m a fairly typical guy, but about 18 months ago I looked at my «athletic» feet and decided that the time had come for a change. My decision to «reclaim» my feet took me to a half-​dozen different salons because I just dropped in here or there and never made appointments. Sometimes there was openings and sometimes not; some places I liked and others not-​but I continued on and eventually City Nails came out on top. Cindy is the owner and I’m totally happy with the results! I can now look at my feet and smile instead of being embarrassed; and I no longer feel self conscious when I wear sandals. I love the «happy» atmosphere at City Nails and will continue to do business there as (so I’ve learned) it has been here in Napa for almost 20 years.
Recently her brother Sam returned to work with Cindy and it now has a kind of one-​happy-​family feel to it. I totally recommend this place to my friends, male and female, and to anyone else looking for this type of service.

I first went to this nail shop because Sam had moved to this shop from another, but he has moved out of town, and his sister, Cindy, now does my nails. I just love her! She is fast, and leaves my nails just the way I like them. Not to mention, she is very friendly. This is definitely a hole in the wall, but it is great! My nails seldom chip and they look good for at least 2 – 3 weeks. I’ve tried many places in Napa, but I prefer this one over any other.
They do take cards, but I think they prefer cash.

I think this place is alright. I’m not into a meni pedi person ! I know for sure that the message is very week here. But for my first time and nothing to compare with, I think this place is just ok

City nails was an unexpected surprise.
I was looking for a nail place in Napa since my usual one in St. Helena was completely booked and I was desperate for a manicure.
There are a plethora of nail shops in that area but I was driving on the wrong side of the street to get to any of them.
I ended up turning around in the parking lot where City Nails is located and decided that since it was empty, and didn’t look any different than the other places, that I would try it.
I couldn’t be happier that I did!
The woman did a fantastic pedicure with oil, lotion and a thorough callas removal sesh. I have pretty nice feet so it’s rare that a manicurist goes the extra mile for my feet because they don’t appear to really need it.
The manicure went just as smoothly. I told her that I worked during the day and could only come on the weekends and I was notificing that the polish wasn’t lasting as long. I asked her if she had a solution.
Not only did she recommend shellac, which I had forgotten about, but then she did an extra coat just to make sure it stayed on the full three weeks.
I will definitely be back next week.

Today my cousin wanted to have a girls day and go to get pampered and since its sunday all the good places are closed except City Nails. My cousin bought me a pedicure, i just had a baby a month ago and she wanted to give me happy feet. Well the water was cold at first, the pedicure was very rushed, then when the massage came there was no massage lotion, she used cuticle oil, the massage was half ass and also very rushed, my cousin paid for an extra 15 mins for me and it was still WEAK!
Now the whole time this is happening my cousin is trying to get her pink and white acrylic filled. The man is arguing with her telling her «No she doesnt want that» being very rude and not doing what the customer wants. So he finally gets started with her nails, so far so good got the white filled and then the pink, now for the filing. The drill heads he used to file her nails he dumped out of his Marlboro Light cigerette box, as he starts to drill her nails she keeps saying «Ouch Ouch» because its hurting her so bad. Her pinky nail was burning and throbbing, he was being very aggressive and not being considerate of how much pain he was causing to her fingers, after his shitty drill filing she tells him they arent filed evenly, he then grabs these two used buffers out of a bag taped to the table and starts aggressivly buffing the nails, the woman that works with him came over and gave him a new one and thats when we noticed the two used buffers he just used came out of his trash bag. She keeps telling them how much pain her fingers are in and all they have to say is «Go wash your hands» so she does and when she comes back she still isnt happy at how un-​even the file job is, there is still thick pieces of acrylic on the sides and underneath her nail so she takes the hand file and starts to file herself. They look ghetto and now she has to go to another place tomorrow to have them fixed.
We came there at 4:30 and left at 6:45 i dont think it should take 2 hours for a fill. They tried to make her pay $ 70 for everything. Well that wasnt going to happen considering how shitty her fill came out. I hope people read this and do not go to this place, you do not get treated right, you do not get pamperd if you deffinantly not recieve any sort of customer service here. The man SUCKS at doing nails and should probablly find a different occupation and go to some customer service classes!

If I could give them negative stars I would. Since I picture is worth a thousand words, I will just show you… Check out the business listing. It was supposed to be coral nails and a cheetah print.

I usually go to La Vie (pricey) but have heard others saying thier equipment is not sanitized so I tried City Nails today. I always get a shellec french mani. I was greeted upon my arrival and within 15 minutes was seated. The mani was okay, no lotion, massage, no soaking my fingers in soapy water. After the main she offered me lotion which I put on myself. After my appointment I was able to get a close up look of my nails. The white paint doen’t cover my tips complelty and the line is crooked an smeared on a few nails. The top of my nails are not smooth, sort of rough. I can tell it is going to wear quickly

After a horrible time at La Vie today, I was so pleased to find out City Nails had room for me to get a pedicure on Mother’s Day. I was so upset about my experience at La Vie, and was worried I may have the same one at City Nails… but it was the complete opposite. Cindy was very nice and did a great job with my toes and feet. The prices are good and the most important part… the feeling that you are actually appreciated there is very present. I will definitely return to see Cindy again.

I usually go to Happy Nails down the street because their prices can’t be beat, but I stopped by today (Sunday) and they were closed. I have been wanting to get a mani/​pedi all week so I decided to stop in at City Nails.
I left feeling like I’d been cheated.
Cindy, the owner, was exceptionally nice and very complimentary.
Pedi was nice but the water was cold and the massage chair was not turned on. These additions would have been nice. I brought my own polish for my toenails and was glad I did because I could not find one polish in their selection that did not look old and dry.
I chose to get a french done on my natural nails. I came to get my nails done professionally because I wanted to have them done by someone who could take the time to file and even them out and then do a professional looking job on the paint. This didn’t happen. She didn’t even out my nails at all and the white polish does not cover the entire tip. I had no complaints though. After all, my nails were not being done by a machine. People don’t do everything completely perfect.
I was disappointed when she charged me $ 50. WOW! I didn’t protest because what’s done is done, but I certainly will not return and I will not recommend this place, ever.

I love city nails! They’re very professional and very welcoming. Their staff consists of 2 sincere and friendly women who really love what they do.
They have a verity of nail polishes, which I love! OPI, gel, CND Shellac gel, gelish are my favorite.
I’m very happy every time I come and leave. I usually get the french tip and it will last me at least a month which I usually don’t get from other nail salons. They have new spa chairs that works wonders when I’m really stressed. I know I can definitely get pampered when I come here.
The scent of the salon does not chemically smell like other nail salons and the place is very neat and tidy. The location of the salon is also very convenient because it’s right near the gas station and food places.

We were forced to go here since we had a Sunday wedding to attend (I usually go to pro nails). About a month later I discovered I had a fungal infection under my big toenail! The nail eventually fell off. never had this in my life until I went to this nail salon– gross!

My husband had won a gift certificate to this place back in 2004. So on my birthday, I decided it would be a good idea to put the certificate to good use and get my nails done. You’d almost miss them if you weren’t familiar with the area they are in. They are located a couple shops down from the Radioshack on Jefferson St.
I went in and there was only one woman working and two women getting there nails done as well. The nail stylist didn’t notice me right away but nice when she did. I got a manicure with a french style tip painting. She was quick and the paint job on my nails was mediocre. There were small bubbles, the tips were done so-​so.
Thank goodness I didn’t have to pay to do my nails because after a day, the paint on my nails started to crack and peel. I’ve had my nails done by several places and this is by far the worst. I wouldn’t recommend going here at all.

I used to like going here until today. Don’t go here if you are looking for a family friendly place. The women are very nice, but the gentlemen that works there isn’t kid friendly at all. I took my four year old to her first mani/​pedi and he told her to get off my lap «right now» even though she was sitting fairly still. He was rude and they overcharged us for her. A very unpleasant experience.
