Nail Salons near Montecito

“I called needing a mani/pedi last minute while visiting from out of town. I came in after calling to make sure they could take me last minute. It is very pretty inside and the ambiance is very calming. The staff is friendly, however, I left with the pedicure only. I'm not sure what happened but I was hoping for a mani/pedi when I called and the mani was missed. I enjoyed the pedicure and they did well but I was hoping for more!“

“Went to visit the area (amazing!) and on the recommendation of my friend, I booked an appointment with Leana. I was SO nervous about getting a haircut and my hair is badly damaged from all the color over the years so I was really happy with the care and concern from this stylist who listened to me and offered reassurance. I am very pleased with the results and HIGHLY recommend this stylist (and this salon which is very nice.) The service is excellent, I felt like family! The ambiance of the salon was very comfortable and welcoming: a treat for myself and I am glad I went and trusted her. My hair is much healthier now and Leana gave me tips for care as my hair grows out. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“My did my toes just right. She was graceful, skillful and detail oriented. I was very pleased. Thank you!“

“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.“

“My mom and I had a wonderful experience here. They are sanitary, have beautiful colors including Zoya polishes (I had 'hunter' green) and take great care with your nails. We hope to be back again!“

“Tina was awesome and sweet. She works alone by appointment and also for walks in too. But be sure to make an appointment or call ahead as she is by herself.“

“Deeane was amazing. Honestly the best mani/pedi I’ve gotten in a long time. She was so detailed!“

“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“

“Me and my boyfriend made an appointment for manicure pedicures and we had a lovely time! My gel pedicure looks amazing as well as my hands, and my boyfriend said he was very relaxed after his pedicure. Fon and Ken were so sweet and made us feel very welcome. We are visiting Carpinteria and they happily gave us recommendations for restaurant and activities! The massage chairs and a great added bonus. Would definitely recommend coming here.“

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

“tracy and tammi did so good! treated me very well and tracy is very good with the detail, really takes her time and does her best!“

“I've had amazing service here. Andy gave me the best gel French pedicure I've ever had--probably the best pedicure I've ever had, period! Lynh has done both lash extensions and the lash lift + tint, and both were fantastic. She takes great care to get everything right, she is an artist, you can feel it.
Booking online is easy, as is parking, and the salon feels open and airy. I highly recommend them!“

“CNJ is my go to for the last 15 years. They always do such an amazing job and take such good care of their clients. Kelly always gives me the best French tip!“

“My favorite nail salon in Santa Barbara. It’s consistently clean, efficient, relaxing and my nails always look great. Especially my cuticles. The polish is always applied really well and lasts. So glad I found papillon!“

“We were looking for a nail salon open on Sunday to get my daughter acrylics for a birthday treat. This was the only salon that had openings a day in advance, so we scheduled for both of us. I got a basic manicure just to celebrate with my daughter.

My daughter and I were each attended by super nice, super skilled nail professionals from this family business. They did not rush and were meticulous in their craft. The young man who did my daughter's acrylics took every care to make sure she got exactly what she wanted. He was so sweet and so thoughtful in his work. My manicure was done by a woman who may have been the owner (?). She was delightful and gave me a perfect manicure.

When I saw the bill, I was shocked at how LOW it was. I don't think there's a more budget-friendly place to get acrylics in Santa Barbara. The downtown salon is spacious and beautiful inside, with a pretty architectural design elements and a gorgeous Santa Barbara ocean-and-sky mural. The rent must be expensive, so I expected prices would be higher. I feel we got an incredible value in every way.

Finally, I'll just say don't typically get manicures because I do too much with my hands for them to last, but miraculously, this manicure is a week old and looks like I just got it today.

We will definitely return to Nu Image Nails. Highly, highly recommend!“

“What an end of the summer dream!! Danny did such an incredible job on my nails. Everyone who works at Creative Nails is amazing! Thank you! ?“

“Gentleman was very nice. A clean and pretty atmosphere. $65 for gel and $10 for French.“
