Nail Salons near Del Rey Oaks

“I have been here once before but never wrote a review for it - but I wanted to get my nails done today for a pride event tomorrow and didn't want to wait for a nail artist appointment I had on the 19th - so I went. Tee did the base of my manicure and pedicure and Tina did my design - I will say since it is a pride design, it has many colors and I feel like a lot of people in the salon were like omg so many colors - not in a bad way but just in general. But I think the service was great and pricing reasonable for what I got. Tee had to deal with my not great feet that are prone to ingrowns and thus have a lot of dead skin like underneath the corners - I kept apologizing and she was very kind. Lots of creams and a steamer for the pedi I got which was nice. I will say, I don't think I saw them open their tools for the pedicure from a sealed like bag, they just came from the back on a tray - though it's possible that they were just opened away from me.

Tina was very kind and did my designs which were fairly...detailed I would say. When I had a want of more paint or more jewels, she did it without complaint - I am very quiet when I am in a nail salon personally - or at least I was in a quiet mode so I did feel bad for being silent but not much judgement from what I can tell. So many people are popping in and out and I would say I don't know how they manage all the clients they have with maybe like 6 people? But they do. My mani pedi took 1.5 hours for reference. I will update this as far as wear later on. I would say it was good quality service for the price and for a general nail salon - you may disagree if you are used to going to nail art specific people perhaps but that's my view.

As far as vibes - super busy like I said - people come and talk to each other while they get services - not what I like to do personally but there's lots of that. Employees talk to themselves in their language but surprisingly quietly, I had no idea how they all heard each other. There are two big TVs they have generic shows and ads running on and general spa music.

They also have a either ancestor altar, and or ancestor plate - I think that is what it is called though I am not certain - in the front. I thought it was a nice touch personally.“

“My daughter and I had a great experience at Tina Nails. We had fabulous pedicures, the ladies there were super sweet, and the nail salon is spotlessly clean and very cute.“

“Visited Monterey for the weekend and last minute searched for a place to destress and get a mani/ pedi for me and a pedi with no polish for my husband. So glad we stumbled across this nail salon! Come here for the best relaxing acoustic music videos, a quiet vibe, the comfiest hot pad on the backs of the pedi massage chairs, and treated by the sweetest family run business. Loved my polish color and the careful and thorough care we received for the most reasonable price. Will come back again next time I'm in town!!“

“The BEST pedicure I’ve had in over 5+years since I lived in San Francisco!

This is now my go to salon!“

“First time coming here and I absolutely loved it. Brandy is amazing, recommended builder gel which I have never done before and it is by far the cleanest most crisp work I’ve had!“

“Best nail place on the Monterey Peninsula!!! I have tried so many and hands down there is NO better place! Quality, artistry, friendliness and professionalism!! You will not be disappointed!!!“

“One of the best pedis I've ever had. The nail tech was very skilled and kind. Took great care with my funky toenails. My daughter was also very pleased with her pedi and her eyebrow waxing. Definitely will return. Highly recommend!“

“Great. I’ve been going to Dr Smith’s Monterey office for years. Shea has been my caring specialist in all that time. I couldn’t ask for a better person. My toe concerns are heard and dealt with in a very professional manner.“

“Always well taken care of by Crystal working skills on my hair or Shiela beautifying my nails.“

“I tried Lovely Nails for the first time and they did an exceptional job! I got a gel fill, gel pedicure, and my eyebrows done. They took their time with every single thing and were truly perfectionists. They had a lot of colors to choose from, were so friendly, and the prices were really good (my total was $62). I have found my new nail place!! So excited to keep coming back. Highly recommend.“

“OMG!!!! Finally found my forever nail technician! Frankie is amazing! His acrylic application is competition level. Coming from a former nail tech of 16 years. Friendly, personable and no lifting! I’m including a photo of my nails a few days after they were done with no cuticle oil added. ( nail art was done by me) when you add cuticle oil it hides imperfections that appear a day later after leaving g the salon. You can see the acrylic is “perfectly” applied at the cuticle. Same service every time! I just can’t say enough! Thank you, Frankie! I love my nails. Please never retire! PS: Note the name change on the business. It is now Lighthouse Nails.“

“The staff is completely professional and I Have had nothing but the very best service. The Technicians provide the most outstanding pedicure and manicures“

“Great experience. Maria was so gentle & kind especially with my sensitive toe, pedicure price is acceptable, shop didn't smell & was organized, love that it's by appointment only. Thank you Maria. I will surely be back next month. God bless you & your family a safe & healthy holiday .“

“Reasonably priced ($45 for a regular mani pedi), lots of parking, open on Saturdays, and great customer service. I appreciate that the place is well ventilated and doesn't smell of chemicals. While they take walk ins, I recommend calling ahead. On occasion they book up and aren't able to take walk ins. Credit cards are accepted.“

“Wonderful experience Tina and tony are wonderful made me feeel like a queen love it I'm diabeticsn they were very gentle with me I really appreciate it“

“Kate is the best nail technician in Monterey! I have been getting my nails done first years and the gel always peels. Kate knows what she is doing! My gel doesn't even lift. I have now been a regular! Appointments are easy and Kate is very communicative. Highly recommended!“

“I had the best pedicure I've had in a long time. I opted for the deluxe with gel. They were upfront with the pricing so I wasn't surprised about anything extra. They have scent options to choose from and I got peppermint. Kevin was my pedicurist. He did the best massage, it was lengthy with good pressure. It was worth any extra. Their regular pedicure is priced at only $30 too, which is very reasonable.“

“We were staying at Lobos Lodge Memorial Day weekend.
The new lady - Kim gave me a beautiful layered cut. I have fine, but a lot of hair and on a whim felt like cutting it. She is GOOD! Meticulously going over it where needed. Very happy.
But I live in Napa - so am I going to find someone who can do exactly the same??!! Unlikely….. lol. Anyway - you can absolutely trust Kim!! I may just leave it until our return early September.“

“The staff are very polite and welcoming the food portions are great ?? I recommend this place for all family.“

“Just moved to Monterey and I have found my stylist. Shahin is perfect! She is flexible with your schedule and showed her passion all through my affordable cut and color. She is very experienced and it shows! I will be returning.“

“This place is so nice. I was looking to have my nails done and the owner welcoming in and my nails are just so pretty and the color is so cute...I am coming back and I will request an appointment for my daughter...“

“This was the best nail experience I’ve ever had in the States. The nail work was top-notch, and the prices were very reasonable. Everyone was so kind and welcoming—it was an all-around satisfying experience!“

“Mimi was amazing, she was friendly and paid attention to little details! I'm in love with my nails! I came in with a picture, and Mimi nailed it! I highly recommend checking this place out. Call first, they get booked up quick.“

“I don’t normally leave reviews, but would highly recommend them for nails! I came in from out of town and needed nails done and wish I lived closer to go more often! Detailed with their work and do a great job!“

“Nicest nail salon I’ve been to and most pleasant experience! I got a gel mani/pedi and they were super quick and meticulous. Sweet staff and really good foot massage during my pedicure. Felt amazing! Will be going back?“
