Nail Salons near Isla Vista

“I can't say enough great things about Annie and her nail salon! Her designs are truly incredible, and her attention to detail is unparalleled. On top of that, the quality of conversation makes every visit enjoyable. My girlfriend comes here regularly for her nails and toes, and she always comes home with unique designs, stunning colors, and nails that last over a month.

I finally had the pleasure of bringing my soccer-worn, ugly toes in for some much-needed care, and Annie worked her magic—cleaning them up and making them look presentable again. The service is top-notch, the location is wonderful, and we highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for high-quality nail care.“

“Have not had much luck in Santa Barbara with dip manicures until I found Glow. Sang was wonderful, she got me an appt the next morning and took great care of me. She carefully filed down around the edges near the cuticle which so many places seem to skip over. She also did a double layer of topcoat which always makes them last longer. Thankful she did the dip topcoat and not the gel one that always ends up peeling off. Richie also gives a great pedicure! I’ll definitely be back next time I am in town.“

“Mannn where do I start, I've been coming to the edge for about 2 years and getting my haircut done by the one and only X! I come once a week and she always kills it and giving me the best haircut IN TOWN! If you haven't tried getting a haircut by her here in Santa Barbara YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Come get your haircut done by a pro!“

“My mother and I enjoyed getting manicures together at the Nail Nook. The space was lovely, the products were clean and luxurious, and everyone was friendly and helpful. I will come again!“

“I came in on a Saturday, 5/31/25, I called before to make an appointment as I saw that it’s a small place and well liked by locals, for a gel pedicure. I was attended to right away and my first impression of the salon was that it was super clean and organized which is a big thing for me. The removal of gel on my toes was gentle- it felt like an old school pedicure with no harsh drills removing the gel or cuticles. The lady who did my nails was gentle and took her time with the entire process. Truly a relaxing experience/pedicure which I have not had with other salons in the area AND my toes look and feel fabulous.“

“Champagne Nail Bar did a professional and creative approach on my young daughter's nails. Thanks!“

“Visiting the area and I read reviews in hopes of finding a good nail salon. Minhly's was great. I made an appointment
for the mid afternoon which I would recommend, so there would be no wait. Minh was friendly, considerate and an experienced professional and provided nails that were just the way I like it. Great experience at this longstanding, fanily run place and I appreciated the fair price for the quality of work. I will return when I get the chance to visit Goleta again.“

“I always get my pedicures here at Charming Nails. The ladies always do a great job and always clean & professional work.. ❤️“

“Pretty. I had chosen a color in the beginning. But they ended up not keeping track of my color. So mid-appointment I had to choose it again which was stressful and I couldn’t see all the options from the pedicure chair. I’m still pleased with the outcome though and good service. Hold on to the nail color you choose until they grab the bottle!!“

“I’ve been visiting Linda’s salon for 15 years! Enjoyed mani’s and pedi’s with most of her staff and they are all very professional and do wonderful work.
There is no turnover with her employees and everything is very clean. I hope she stays with us for at least another 20 years!!❤️??“

“I just had a terrific pedi from Tracy at Kim Nails in the Turnpike Center. I made an appointment, and they were ready for me bang on-time.
Great massage, callous removal and perfect shaping of my neglected toenails. The salon is spotless, modern, calm & attractive. Customer service is friendly & efficient. I highly recommend!“

“Keota is a magician. She does wonders to your hair you wouldn’t even believe it was you’re real hair. I was beyond surprised after she showed me the final result. It’s as if you were to go to a salon in beverly hills but 10x better and a whole lot more affordable. She has stories for every occasion and will never keep you bored. If you are looking for any hair service she has perfected it. Keota is so kind so funny and insanely talented. I will never go to another place when it comes to my hair.Service: Balayage“

“Su and Khoa do such an incredible job on my nails. They really take really good care of me and my nails here each time I go and I leave happy. Thank you!“

“Lilibeth is the best. She is an expert at what she does and she is very talented. She takes time to understand what you are looking for and always does an amazing job. Out of all the stylists, she is the only one I trust to go to for my hair. I will be recommending her to all my friends and family. If you are looking for someone that cares and actually knows what they are doing, then I highly encourage you to book an appointment with Lilibeth. As an Actor, I have worked with the top hairstylists in Hollywood and she is the best one I have worked with so far.“

“I came here for a mani pedi which was simply amazing! I've been a customer for a couple of years now and they have always done really good work, and I've been totally happy. They do a really good job on your nails and are completely professional. One thing you don't have to worry about is the cleanliness. They are on top it. They are worth checking out!Services: Pedicure“

“Tiny nail salon but did a great job on my pedicure. Massage was fast and a touch pricey.“

“I love the service and quality! It is such a peaceful experience. Having a nice cup of Vietnamese coffee while getting my nails done is exactly what I need to improve my mood each time! Everyone is very friendly and the owner is always welcoming and accommodating if I ever come in without an appointment.“
